Jeremías 23:40 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:40

And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you
Which was a just retaliation for reproaching, vilifying, and bantering his word: they who had been honoured so much and so long as the people of God, and their city counted the glory of the earth; yet now both they and that should be the byword of the people, and had in the utmost contempt, and that for ever, or at least a long time, even for a series of ages; which has been their case ever since their destruction by the Romans, and still is; for this cannot be restrained to the short captivity of seventy years in Babylon; though this reproach began then, and they never recovered their former honour and glory; and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten;
the same thing in different words, to heighten their disgrace, and confirm the perpetuity of it.

Jeremías 23:40 In-Context

38 Pero si ustedes responden: “¡Mensaje del SEÑOR!”, el SEÑOR dice: “Por cuanto ustedes han dicho: ‘¡Mensaje del SEÑOR!’, siendo que yo les había prohibido que pronunciaran esta frase,

39 entonces me olvidaré de ustedes y los echaré de mi presencia, junto con la ciudad que les di a ustedes y a sus antepasados.

40 Y los afligiré con un oprobio eterno, con una humillación eterna que jamás será olvidada”».
