Listen to Jeremías 16:17
17 Ciertamente mis ojos ven todas sus acciones; ninguna de ellas me es oculta. Su iniquidad no puede esconderse de mi vista.

Jeremías 16:17 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 16:17

For mine eyes are upon all their ways
Not only which they may take to hide themselves from their enemies, and where they should be directed to find them; but their evil ways in which they walked, and which were the cause of their calamities; these, how secret soever they were, were under the eye of God, whose eyes are in every place, and upon all the ways of men, good and bad; though they might flatter themselves, as wicked men sometimes do, that the Lord sees them not, and does not take notice of their iniquities: but, that they might be assured of the contrary, it is added, they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine
eyes;
neither their ways nor their works, their persons nor their actions, could be concealed from the Lord; none can hide himself in secret places, that they should not be seen by him; the darkness and the light are both alike to an omniscient God. The Targum is,

``their iniquities are not hid from before (or from, or the sight of) my Word;''
the essential Word of God; see ( Hebrews 4:12 Hebrews 4:13 ) .

Jeremías 16:17 In-Context

15 sino: “Por la vida del SEÑOR, que hizo salir a los israelitas de la tierra del norte, y de todos los países adonde los había expulsado”. Yo los haré volver a su tierra, la que antes di a sus antepasados.
16 »Voy a enviar a muchos pescadores —afirma el SEÑOR—, y ellos los pescarán a ustedes. Después, enviaré a muchos cazadores, y ellos los cazarán a ustedes por todas las montañas y colinas, y por las grietas de las rocas.
17 Ciertamente mis ojos ven todas sus acciones; ninguna de ellas me es oculta. Su iniquidad no puede esconderse de mi vista.
18 Primero les pagaré el doble por su iniquidad y su pecado, porque con los cadáveres de sus ídolos detestables han profanado mi tierra, y han llenado mi herencia con sus abominaciones».
19 SEÑOR, fuerza y fortaleza mía,mi refugio en el día de la angustia:desde los confines de la tierravendrán a ti las naciones, y dirán:«Solo mentira heredaron nuestros antepasados;heredaron lo absurdo,lo que no sirve para nada.
