Jeremias 3:23

23 De fato, a agitação idólatra nas colinase o murmúrio nos montes é um engano.No SENHOR, no nosso Deus,está a salvação de Israel.

Jeremias 3:23 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 3:23

Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from
the multitude of mountains
From any natural defence, by hills and mountains encompassing; or from idols worshipped on hills and mountains. So the Targum,

``truly in vain we worship upon the hills, and for no profit are we gathered upon the mountains;''

and to this purpose Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it; or from the multitude of the people, the kingdoms of the world, and the nations of the earth, from whom the Jews have in vain expected salvation and deliverance: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel;
or, "in the Word of the Lord our God", as the Targum; in Christ, the essential Word of God, is the salvation of all the chosen people, both Jews and Gentiles; it was put into his hands by his Father, and it is wrought out by him; and it resides in him, and it is to be had in him, and in him only, ( Acts 4:12 ) , who is God the Lord, and therefore was able to effect it, and to give it; and hence these repenting ones, discarding all other saviours, apply to him for it.

Jeremias 3:23 In-Context

21 Ouve-se um choro no campo,o pranto de súplica dos israelitas,porque perverteram os seus caminhose esqueceram o SENHOR, o seu Deus.

22 “Voltem, filhos rebeldes!Eu os curarei da sua rebeldia”.“Sim!”, o povo responde. “Nós viremos a ti,pois tu és o SENHOR, o nosso Deus.

23 De fato, a agitação idólatra nas colinase o murmúrio nos montes é um engano.No SENHOR, no nosso Deus,está a salvação de Israel.

24 Desde a nossa juventude, Baal, o deus da vergonha,tem consumido o fruto do trabalho dos nossos antepassados:as ovelhas, os bois,os seus filhos e as suas filhas.

25 Seja a vergonha a nossa camae a desonra, o nosso cobertor.Pecamos contra o SENHOR, o nosso Deus,tanto nós como os nossos antepassados,desde a nossa juventude até o dia de hoje;e não temos obedecido ao SENHOR, ao nosso Deus”.
