Jeremias 44:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 44:7

Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of
Israel
The same epithets as before, ( Jeremiah 44:2 ) ; with an addition, that his words might carry more weight with them: wherefore commit ye [this] great evil against your souls;
the sin of idolatry, which is a great evil; a sin against God; a giving the glory to another, that belongs to him and not only so, but is against the souls of men; pernicious and ruinous to them, which brings destruction, even eternal wrath and damnation, on them; and this is an interesting argument why it should not be committed; nay, it was not only against God, and against themselves, but against their families, and the interest of them: to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to
leave you none to remain;
not that they did this great evil or committed idolatry with this intention, to ruin their families and posterity; but so it was eventually; hereby they provoked the Lord to anger, to cut off the men that offered incense to idols; and the women their wives, whom they allowed so to do; and their children, who were brought up in the same practices; so that they would have none to succeed them, to bear their name, and inherit their land; unless God should be merciful, and not deal according to their deserts; for such was the nature of their crime, as to deserve an utter extirpation of them.

Jeremias 44:7 In-Context

5 Mas eles não me ouviram nem me deram atenção; não se converteram de sua impiedade nem cessaram de queimar incenso a outros deuses.
6 Por isso, o meu furor foi derramado e queimou as cidades de Judá e as ruas de Jerusalém, tornando-as na ruína desolada que são hoje”.
7 Assim diz o SENHOR, o Deus dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel: “Por que trazer uma desgraça tão grande sobre vocês mesmos, eliminando de Judá homens e mulheres, crianças e recém-nascidos, sem deixar remanescente algum?
8 Por que vocês provocam a minha ira com o que fazem, queimando incenso a outros deuses no Egito, onde vocês vieram residir? Vocês se destruirão e se tornarão objeto de desprezo e afronta entre todas as nações da terra.
9 Acaso vocês se esqueceram da impiedade cometida por seus antepassados, pelos reis de Judá e as mulheres deles, e da impiedade cometida por vocês e suas mulheres na terra de Judá e nas ruas de Jerusalém?
