Jeremias 26:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 26:12

Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes, and to all the
people, saying
In his own defence; which, as Jerom observes, was with prudence, humility, and constancy: the Lord sent me to prophesy against this house, and against this
city, all the words that ye have heard;
he does not deny but that he had prophesied against the city of Jerusalem and against the temple, and that they should both come to ruin, unless the people repented and reformed; but then he urges, that he was sent by the Lord on this errand, and that every word that he had said, and they had heard, he was ordered to say by the Lord; and therefore what was he, that he should withstand God? he surely was not to be blamed for doing what the Lord commanded him to do; besides, all this was threatened only in case they continued obstinate and impenitent; wherefore he renews his exhortations to them in ( Jeremiah 26:13 ) .

Jeremias 26:12 In-Context

10 Quando os líderes de Judá souberam disso, foram do palácio real até o templo do SENHOR e se assentaram para julgar, à entrada da porta Nova do templo do SENHOR.

11 E os sacerdotes e os profetas disseram aos líderes e a todo o povo: “Este homem deve ser condenado à morte porque profetizou contra esta cidade. Vocês o ouviram com os seus próprios ouvidos!”

12 Disse então Jeremias a todos os líderes e a todo o povo: “O SENHOR enviou-me para profetizar contra este templo e contra esta cidade tudo o que vocês ouviram.

13 Agora, corrijam a sua conduta e as suas ações e obedeçam ao SENHOR, ao seu Deus. Então o SENHOR se arrependerá da desgraça que pronunciou contra vocês.

14 Quanto a mim, estou nas mãos de vocês; façam comigo o que acharem bom e certo.
