Jeremias 14:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 14:11

Then said the Lord unto me
To the prophet; now the Lord gives a more direct answer to him, and to his prayers and intercession for the people; which he forbids, saying, pray not for this people for their good;
or "for good things", as the Septuagint; for rain, that the famine might cease; and for deliverance from their enemies, that they might not go into captivity; for these things were determined upon by the Lord: he does not forbid him praying at all for them, or for their repentance and reformation; or for spiritual good things for them, for eternal life and salvation for the remnant of his own people among them; but not for external good things for the bulk of them.

Jeremias 14:11 In-Context

9 Por que ages como um homem que foi pego de surpresa,como um guerreiro que não pode salvar?Tu estás em nosso meio, ó SENHOR,e nós pertencemos a ti;não nos abandones!
10 Assim diz o SENHOR acerca deste povo:“Eles gostam muito de vaguear;não controlam os pés.Por isso o SENHOR não os aceita;agora ele se lembrará da iniquidade delese os castigará por causa dos seus pecados”.
11 Então o SENHOR me disse: “Não ore pelo bem-estar deste povo.
12 Ainda que jejuem, não escutarei o clamor deles; ainda que ofereçam holocaustos e ofertas de cereal, não os aceitarei. Mas eu os destruirei pela guerra, pela fome e pela peste”.
13 Mas eu disse: Ah, Soberano SENHOR, os profetas estão dizendo a eles: “Vocês não verão a guerra nem a fome; eu lhes darei prosperidade duradoura neste lugar”.
