Jeremías 29:32

32 lo castigaré a él y a su familia. Ninguno de sus descendientes verá las buenas cosas que haré para mi pueblo, porque él los ha incitado a rebelarse contra mí. ¡Yo, el Señor
, he hablado!’”».

Jeremías 29:32 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 29:32

Therefore thus saith the Lord
Because he prophesied without being sent of God, and prophesied lies, by which the people were deceived: behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed;
not him only, but his posterity also: thus God sometimes visits the sins of parents on their children, they being, as it were, a part of themselves, and oftentimes partners with them in their iniquities: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people;
either at Babylon, or at Jerusalem, whither he had promised a speedy return: neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith
the Lord;
by returning them, after seventy years captivity, to their own land, and to the enjoyment of all their privileges, civil and religious: because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord;
or, "a departure ^F14 from [him]"; taught men to revolt from him, and not give heed to his prophets; to disbelieve what he said by them, concerning their continuance in Babylon; which is called a rebellion against him; and being so heinous a crime, deserved the punishment denounced on him and his; rebels and their offspring are punished among men.

Jeremías 29:32 In-Context

30 Entonces el Señor
le dio a Jeremías este mensaje:

31 «Envía una carta abierta a todos los desterrados en Babilonia. Diles: “Esto dice el Señor
con relación a Semaías el nehelamita: ‘Como les ha profetizado a pesar de que yo no lo envié, y los ha engañado, haciéndolos creer sus mentiras,

32 lo castigaré a él y a su familia. Ninguno de sus descendientes verá las buenas cosas que haré para mi pueblo, porque él los ha incitado a rebelarse contra mí. ¡Yo, el Señor
, he hablado!’”».
