Jeremías 4:24

24 Miré a las montañas, y estaban temblando;¡se sacudían todas las colinas!

Jeremías 4:24 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 4:24

I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled
At the presence of God, at the tokens of his displeasure, and at his awful vengeance in the destruction of the Jews, as they are sometimes said to do, ( Psalms 68:8 ) ( Psalms 114:6 Psalms 114:7 ) ( Habakkuk 3:6 Habakkuk 3:10 ) : and all the hills moved lightly;
so Kimchi's father says the word used has the signification of lightness; though Jarchi, from Menachem, explains it, they were plucked up, and thrown out of their place; and some render it, were pulled down and destroyed, so the Targum. Mountains and hills are most stable, and not easily moved, wherefore this is said, to aggravate the desolation and destruction.

Jeremías 4:24 In-Context

22 «Mi pueblo es necio,no me conoce;son hijos insensatosque no tienen entendimiento.Son hábiles para hacer el mal;no saben hacer el bien».

23 Miré a la tierra, y era un caos total;miré a los cielos, y todo era tinieblas.

24 Miré a las montañas, y estaban temblando;¡se sacudían todas las colinas!

25 Miré, y no quedaba nadie;habían huido todas las aves del cielo.

26 Miré, y la tierra fértil era un desierto;yacían en ruinas todas las ciudades,por la acción del SEÑOR,por causa de su ardiente ira.
