Jeremías 43:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 43:10

And say unto them
The men of Judah, now in Egypt: thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
(See Gill on Jeremiah 42:15); behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my
servant;
as all men are by creation, and as he was in a very eminent sense, being an instrument in his hand of executing his designs, both on the Jews and other nations; him he would send for, and take to perform his counsel; secretly work upon and dispose his mind to such an undertaking, and lay a train of providences, and, by a concourse of them, bring him to Egypt to do his will: and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid;
which he had ordered the prophet to hide, and which he did by him; signifying, that the king at Babylon should come with his army against this city, and should take it, and set up his throne, and keep his court here: and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them;
his tent; he shall place here his beautiful one, as the word ^F9 signifies; this should be set up where these stones were laid, as if they were designed for the foundation of it, though they were only a symbol of it; and would be a token to the Jews, when accomplished, of the certainty of the divine prescience, and of prophecy, with respect to future events, even those the most minute and contingent.

Jeremías 43:10 In-Context

8 En Tafnes, el Señor
le dio otro mensaje a Jeremías. Le dijo:

9 «A la vista de toda la gente de Judá, toma unas piedras grandes y entiérralas debajo de las piedras del pavimento a la entrada del palacio del faraón aquí en Tafnes.

10 Luego dile al pueblo de Judá: “Esto dice el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales, Dios de Israel: ‘Les aseguro que traeré a mi siervo Nabucodonosor,
rey de Babilonia, aquí a Egipto. Estableceré su trono sobre estas piedras que he escondido. Sobre ellas extenderá su dosel real

11 y cuando venga, destruirá la tierra de Egipto. Traerá muerte a los destinados a la muerte, cautiverio a los destinados al cautiverio y guerra a los destinados a la guerra.

12 Prenderá fuego a los templos de los dioses egipcios; quemará los templos y se llevará los ídolos como botín. Limpiará la tierra de Egipto como un pastor que limpia su manto de pulgas, pero él saldrá ileso.
