Jeremías 4:5

La amenaza del norte

5 »¡Anúncienlo en Judá,proclámenlo en Jerusalén!¡Toquen la trompeta por todo el país!Griten a voz en cuello:“¡Reúnanse y entremosen las ciudades fortificadas!”

Jeremías 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 4:5

Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem, and say
Exhortations to repentance being without effect in general, though they might have an influence on some few particular persons, the Lord directs the prophet to lay before the people a view of their destruction as near at hand; who calls upon some persons as a sort of heralds, to publish and declare in the land of Judea, and in Jerusalem the metropolis of it, what follows: blow ye the trumpet in the land;
as an alarm of an approaching enemy, and of an invasion by him, and of danger from him; and this was to be done, not in order to gather together, and put themselves in a posture of defence, to meet the enemy, and give him battle; but to get together, that were in the fields, and in country villages, and hide themselves from him: cry, gather together, and say;
or cry with a full mouth, with a loud voice, that all might hear; which shows imminent danger: assemble yourselves and let us go into the defenced cities;
such as Jerusalem, and others, where they might think themselves safe and secure; see ( Matthew 24:16 ) .

Jeremías 4:5 In-Context

3 Así dice el SEÑORa los habitantes de Judá y de Jerusalén:«Abran surcos en terrenos no labrados,y no siembren entre espinos.
4 Habitantes de Judá y de Jerusalén,marquen su corazón con la señal del pacto:circuncídense para honrar al SEÑOR,no sea que por la maldad de sus obrasmi furor se encienda como el fuegoy arda sin que nadie pueda apagarlo.
5 »¡Anúncienlo en Judá,proclámenlo en Jerusalén!¡Toquen la trompeta por todo el país!Griten a voz en cuello:“¡Reúnanse y entremosen las ciudades fortificadas!”
6 Señalen a Sión con la bandera;¡busquen refugio, no se detengan!Porque yo traigo del nortecalamidad y gran destrucción.
7 Un león ha salido del matorral,un destructor de naciones se ha puesto en marcha;ha salido de su lugar de origenpara desolar tu tierra;tus ciudades quedarán en ruinasy totalmente despobladas.
