Jeremías 33:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:5

They come to fight with the Chaldeans
Either the Jews out of the country, or their auxiliaries, their neighbours, to oblige them to break up the siege; but all to no purpose: or rather the Jews within; who, from the mounts erected, fight with the Chaldeans; or by sallying out upon them: but [it is] to fill them with the dead bodies of men;
the mounts, made of their houses, or their houses themselves; it is only to make them graves, and fill them with these carcasses: whom I have slain in mine anger, and in my fury;
that is, suffered to be slain, being wroth and angry with them, for their sins, as follows: and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from the city;
had no pity for it, showed no mercy to it, gave it no help and assistance, or protection, having withdrawn his presence from it. So the Targum,

``I have caused my Shechinah to depart from this city, because of their wickedness.''

Jeremías 33:5 In-Context

3 “Clama a mí y te responderé, y te daré a conocer cosas grandes y ocultas que tú no sabes”.

4 Porque así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, acerca de las casas de esta ciudad y de los palacios de los reyes de Judá, que van a ser derribados para levantar defensas contra la espada y contra las rampas de asalto:

5 “Los babilonios vienen para atacar la ciudad y llenarla de cadáveres. En mi ira y furor he ocultado mi rostro de esta ciudad; la heriré de muerte a causa de todas sus maldades.

6 »”Sin embargo, les daré salud y los curaré; los sanaré y haré que disfruten de abundante paz y seguridad.

7 Cambiaré la suerte de Judá y de Israel, y los reconstruiré como al principio.
