Jeremias 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 9:12

Who is the wise man that may understand this?
&c.] Not the calamity, but the cause of it; a man of wisdom would inquire into it, find it out, and understand it; but the intimation is, that there was not a wise man among them, at least very few; there were scarce any that took any notice of these things, or were concerned about them: and who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken;
and foretold this desolation and destruction; meaning a prophet: that he may declare it;
as from the Lord, namely, what follows: for what the land perisheth, and is burnt like a wilderness, that none
passeth through?
that is, what were the sins of the inhabitants of the land, which brought such distress upon it, and for which it became such a ruinous heap, and like the heath in the wilderness, so that it had no inhabitant, nor even a passenger: they must be some very great and abominable iniquities that were the cause of all this.

Jeremias 9:12 In-Context

10 Chorarei, prantearei e me lamentarei pelos montespor causa das pastagens da estepe;pois estão abandonadase ninguém mais as percorre.Não se ouve o mugir do gado;tanto as aves como os animais fugiram.
11 “Farei de Jerusalém um amontoado de ruínas,uma habitação de chacais.Devastarei as cidades de Judáaté não restar nenhum morador”.
12 Quem é bastante sábio para compreender isso? Quem foi instruído pelo SENHOR, que possa explicá-lo? Por que a terra está arruinada e devastada como um deserto pelo qual ninguém passa?
13 O SENHOR disse: “Foi porque abandonaram a minha lei, que estabeleci diante deles; não me obedeceram nem seguiram a minha lei.
14 Em vez disso, seguiram a dureza de seus próprios corações, indo atrás dos baalins, como os seus antepassados lhes ensinaram”.
