Jeremías 21:6

Listen to Jeremías 21:6
6 heriré a hombres y animales, y los habitantes de esta ciudad morirán por causa de una peste terrible.

Jeremías 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 21:6

And I will smite the inhabitants of this city
With one or other of his arrows after mentioned: or, "them that abide in this city" {o}; that do not go out of it, and surrender themselves to the king of Babylon; see ( Jeremiah 21:9 ) ; both man and beast;
the latter for the sin of the former; particularly such beasts as were fit for food are meant, whereby the famine would be increased, and so the greater destruction of men: they shall die of a great pestilence;
both man and beast; a disease which comes immediately from the hand of God; hence Hippocrates used to call it (to yeion) , "the divine disease": here it denotes a very uncommon one, which should sweep away large numbers; called great, both for quality, or the nature of it, and for the quantity of persons that died of it.

Jeremías 21:6 In-Context

4 que así dice el SEÑOR, el Dios de Israel: “Yo haré retroceder tus tropas, las que pelean contra el rey de Babilonia y contra los caldeos, que desde fuera de los muros los tienen sitiados. Haré que tus tropas se replieguen dentro de la ciudad.
5 Yo mismo pelearé contra ustedes. Con gran despliegue de poder, y con ira, furor y gran indignación,
6 heriré a hombres y animales, y los habitantes de esta ciudad morirán por causa de una peste terrible.
7 Después de eso entregaré a Sedequías, rey de Judá, y a sus oficiales y a la gente que haya quedado con vida después de la peste, la espada y el hambre —afirma el SEÑOR—. Los entregaré en manos de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y de los enemigos que buscan matarlos. Sin ninguna piedad, clemencia ni compasión, Nabucodonosor los herirá a filo de espada”.
8 »Y a este pueblo adviértele que así dice el SEÑOR: “Pongo delante de ustedes el camino de la vida y el camino de la muerte.
