Jeremias 11:18 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 11:18

And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it
Either of what he had been declaring as the sins of these people; and of what he had been prophesying concerning punishment for their sins; what he had said was not of himself, did not arise from any pique or resentment in him against them; but it was of God, that knows all things, and had made known these things to him; and he had only faithfully related them as he had received them; or else of the malicious designs of the men of Anathoth to take away his life, after mentioned: and I know it;
and am sure of it; having it by divine revelation, and from that God that cannot lie, and will not deceive: then thou shewedst me their doings.
Some versions, as the Septuagint, Syriac; and Arabic, take the former words to be a prayer of the prophet's, "O Lord, make me know, or show me, or teach me, that I may know"; and these signify that his prayer was answered. The Lord showed him the sins of these people, and what punishments they deserved, and would be inflicted on them; or rather what they were doing in the dark, and what schemes they were contriving and attempting to put in execution against his life; but God was careful of it, and would not suffer them to do him any harm; and therefore made all known unto him; see ( Psalms 105:15 ) .

Jeremias 11:18 In-Context

16 O SENHOR a chamou de oliveira verdejante,ornada de belos e bons frutos.Mas, com o estrondo de um grande tumulto,ele a incendiará,e os seus ramos serão quebrados.

17 O SENHOR dos Exércitos, que a plantou, anunciou-lhe desgraça, porque a comunidade de Israel e a comunidade de Judá fizeram o que é reprovável e provocaram a minha ira, queimando incenso a Baal.

18 Fiquei sabendo porque o SENHOR me revelou; tu me mostraste o que eles estavam fazendo.

19 Eu era como um cordeiro manso levado ao matadouro; não tinha percebido que tramavam contra mim, dizendo:“Destruamos a árvore e a sua seiva,vamos cortá-lo da terra dos viventespara que o seu nome não seja mais lembrado”.

20 Ó SENHOR dos Exércitos, justo juiz que provaso coração e a mente,espero ver a tua vingança sobre eles,pois a ti expus a minha causa.
