Jeremias 8:1 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:1

At that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out the bones
of the kings of Judah
That is, either the Chaldeans or the Romans would do this; for this refers to the destruction of Jerusalem, either by the former or the latter; and it is certain that Jerusalem was ploughed up by the Romans, whereby the prophecy in ( Micah 3:12 ) was accomplished; when it is highly probable the graves were dug up, and the bones of the dead brought out, and scattered abroad by way of revenge; or it may be that graves were opened, especially the graves of kings and great men, for the sake of finding treasure in them: it follows, and the bones of his princes;
of the princes of Judah: and the bones of the priests;
that sacrificed to idols: and the bones of the prophets:
the false prophets; though this might be the case of the priests and prophets of the Lord; whose bones, in this general devastation, might be exposed as well as others; which of all might be thought to be the most sacred: and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem out of their graves; high and low, rich and poor, male and female; their graves, in common, were without the city.

Jeremias 8:1 In-Context

1 “Naquele tempo”, declara o SENHOR, “os ossos dos reis e dos líderes de Judá, os ossos dos sacerdotes e dos profetas e os ossos do povo de Jerusalém serão retirados dos seus túmulos.

2 Serão expostos ao sol e à lua e a todos os astros do céu, que eles amaram, aos quais prestaram culto e os quais seguiram, consultaram e adoraram. Não serão ajuntados nem enterrados, antes se tornarão esterco sobre o solo.

3 Todos os sobreviventes dessa nação má preferirão a morte à vida, em todos os lugares para onde eu os expulsar”, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos.

4 “Diga a eles: Assim diz o SENHOR:“Quando os homens caem, não se levantam mais?Quando alguém se desvia do caminho, não retorna a ele?

5 Por que será, então, que este povo se desviou?Por que Jerusalém persiste em desviar-se?Eles apegam-se ao enganoe recusam-se a voltar.
