Jeremias 36:3

3 Talvez, quando o povo de Judá souber de cada uma das desgraças que planejo trazer sobre eles, cada um se converta de sua má conduta e eu perdoe a iniquidade e o pecado deles”.

Jeremias 36:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 36:3

It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which
I purpose to do unto them
Not that there was any uncertainty in God as to the knowledge of future events, any more than a change in his purposes: he had purposed to bring evil upon them, which purpose would not be disannulled; and he knew that the Jews would not hearken to the prediction of it, or be concerned about it, and repent of their sins, and reform; but this method he was pleased to take, as being, humanly speaking, a probable one to awaken their attention, and which would leave them inexcusable: that they may return every man from his evil way;
repent of it, and reform: that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin;
by not inflicting on them the punishment and ruin threatened: where repentance is, remission of sin is likewise, and both are the gifts of divine grace, when spiritual and evangelical.

Jeremias 36:3 In-Context

2 “Pegue um rolo e escreva nele todas as palavras que falei a você a respeito de Israel, de Judá e de todas as outras nações, desde que comecei a falar a você, durante o reinado de Josias, até hoje.

3 Talvez, quando o povo de Judá souber de cada uma das desgraças que planejo trazer sobre eles, cada um se converta de sua má conduta e eu perdoe a iniquidade e o pecado deles”.

4 Então Jeremias chamou Baruque, filho de Nerias, para que escrevesse no rolo, conforme Jeremias ditava, todas as palavras que o SENHOR lhe havia falado.

5 Depois Jeremias disse a Baruque: “Estou preso; não posso ir ao templo do SENHOR.
