Jeremías 19:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 19:15

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel
(See Gill on Jeremiah 19:3); behold, I will bring upon this city, and upon all her towns:
the city of Jerusalem, and all the cities and towns near it, even all the cities and towns in Judea; of which Jerusalem was the metropolis, and therefore called hers: all the evil that I have pronounced against it;
or decreed against it, as the Targum; all that he had purposed, and all that he had threatened, or spoke of by the Prophet Jeremiah, or any other of his prophets; for whatever he has said he will do, and whatsoever he has solved upon, and declared he will do, he assuredly brings to pass: because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my
words;
they turned their backs upon him, pulled away the shoulder, stopped their ears that they might not hear what was said by the prophets from the Lord; they neither inclined their ears to hearken to, nor bowed their necks to receive the yoke of his precepts; but, on the contrary, were, as was their general character, a stiffnecked people, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, obstinate and disobedient; and this was the cause of their ruin, by which it appeared to be just and righteous.

Jeremías 19:15 In-Context

13 Todas las casas de Jerusalén y todos los palacios de los reyes de Judá, es decir, todas esas casas en cuyas azoteas se quemó incienso a los astros de los cielos y donde se derramaron libaciones a otros dioses, quedarán tan impuras como quedó Tofet”».

14 Cuando Jeremías regresó de Tofet, adonde el SEÑOR lo había enviado a profetizar, se paró en el atrio de la casa del Señor y dijo a todo el pueblo:

15 «Así dice el SEÑOR Todopoderoso, el Dios de Israel: “Como esta ciudad y todos sus pueblos vecinos se han obstinado en desobedecer mis palabras, voy a mandarles toda la calamidad que les había prometido”».
