Jeremías 7:29 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:29

Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away
This supplement is made, because the word is feminine; and therefore cannot be directed to the prophet, but to Jerusalem, and its inhabitants; shaving the head is a sign of mourning, ( Job 1:20 ) and this is enjoined, to show that there would soon be a reason for it; wherefore it follows: and take up a lamentation on high places:
that it might be heard afar off; or because of the idolatry frequently committed in high places. The Targum is,

``pluck off the hair for thy great ones that are carried captive, and take up a lamentation for the princes:''
for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath;
a generation of men, deserving of the wrath of God, and appointed to it, on whom he determined to pour it out; of which his rejection and forsaking of them was a token: this was remarkably true of that generation in which Christ and his apostles lived, who disbelieved the Messiah, and had no faith in him, and spoke lying and blasphemous words concerning him; and therefore were rejected and forsaken by the Lord; and wrath came upon them to the uttermost.

Jeremías 7:29 In-Context

27 »Diles todo esto, pero no esperes que te escuchen. Adviérteles a gritos, pero no esperes que te hagan caso.
28 Diles: ā€œEsta es la nación que no obedece al SeƱor
su Dios y que rechaza ser enseƱada. Entre ellos la verdad ha desaparecido; ya no se escucha en sus labios.
29 RƔpate en seƱal de luto y llora a solas en las montaƱas, porque el SeƱor
ha rechazado y ha abandonado a esta generación que ha provocado su furiaā€.
30 El valle de la Matanza
Ā»La gente de JudĆ” ha pecado ante mis propios ojos —dice el SeƱor
—. Han puesto sus Ć­dolos abominables precisamente en el templo que lleva mi nombre, y asĆ­ lo han profanado.
31 Han edificado santuarios paganos en Tofet, el basurero en el valle de Ben-hinom, donde queman a sus hijos y a sus hijas en el fuego. JamÔs ordené un acto tan horrendo; ”ni siquiera me pasó por la mente ordenar semejante cosa!
