Jeremias 44:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 44:27

Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good,
&c.] To bring the evil of punishment upon them, the particulars of which are after mentioned, and not the blessings of goodness, as formerly; and this he would be as careful and diligent to bring about, as one that watches all opportunities to do hurt to another; and it must be dreadful to be under the vigilant avenging eye of God: and all the men of Judah that [are] in the land of Egypt shall be
consumed by the sword, and by the famine, until there be an end of
them;
that is, the greatest part of them, excepting a few that shall escape, hereafter mentioned, particularly Jeremiah and Baruch; but as for the main body of such, who went of their own accord to Egypt, and settled, and fell: into the idolatry of the country; these should all perish one after another, till there were none of them left; either by the sword of the king of Babylon; or by famine, which his army and sieges would produce; or by pestilence, though not here mentioned, yet is in ( Jeremiah 44:13 ) .

Jeremias 44:27 In-Context

25 Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, Deus de Israel: ‘Vocês e suas mulheres cumpriram o que prometeram quando disseram: “Certamente cumpriremos os votos que fizemos de queimar incenso e derramar ofertas de bebidas à Rainha dos Céus”.’“Prossigam! Façam o que prometeram! Cumpram os seus votos!
26 Mas ouçam a palavra do SENHOR, todos vocês, judeus que vivem no Egito: ‘Eu juro pelo meu grande nome’, diz o SENHOR, ‘que em todo o Egito ninguém de Judá voltará a invocar o meu nome ou a jurar pela vida do Soberano, o SENHOR.
27 Vigiarei sobre eles para trazer-lhes a desgraça e não o bem; os judeus do Egito perecerão pela espada e pela fome até que sejam todos destruídos.
28 Serão poucos os que escaparão da espada e voltarão do Egito para a terra de Judá. Então, todo o remanescente de Judá que veio residir no Egito saberá qual é a palavra que se realiza, a minha ou a deles.
29 “ ‘Este será o sinal para vocês de que os castigarei neste lugar’, declara o SENHOR, ‘e então vocês ficarão sabendo que as minhas ameaças de trazer-lhes desgraça certamente se realizarão’.
