19 ¡Ay de mí, que estoy quebrantado!¡Mi herida es incurable!Pero es mi enfermedad,y me toca soportarla.

Jeremías 10:19 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 10:19

Woe is me for my hurt!
&c.] Or "breach" ^F1; which was made upon the people of the Jews, when besieged, taken, and carried captive; with whom the prophet heartily sympathized, and considered their calamities and distresses as his own; for these are the words of the prophet, lamenting the sad estate of his people. My wound is grievous;
causes grief, is very painful, and hard to be endured: but I said;
within himself, after he had thoroughly considered the matter: this is a grief;
an affliction, a trial, and exercise: and I must bear it;
patiently and quietly, since it is of God, and is justly brought upon the people for their sins.

Jeremías 10:19 In-Context

17 Recoge del suelo tus cosas,tú que te encuentras sitiado.

18 Porque así dice el SEÑOR:«Esta vez arrojaré a los habitantes del paíscomo si los lanzara con una honda.Los pondré en aprietosy dejaré que los capturen».

19 ¡Ay de mí, que estoy quebrantado!¡Mi herida es incurable!Pero es mi enfermedad,y me toca soportarla.

20 Devastada está mi carpa,y rotas todas mis cuerdas.Mis hijos me han abandonado;han dejado de existir.Ya no hay nadie que arme mi carpa,y que levante mis toldos.

21 Los pastores se han vuelto necios,no buscan al SEÑOR;por eso no han prosperado,y su rebaño anda disperso.
