Yirmeyah 36:31

31 And I will visit him [for punishment] and his zera and his avadim for their avon; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, and upon the Ish Yehudah, all the ra’ah (disaster, evil) that I have pronounced against them; yet they did not pay heed.

Yirmeyah 36:31 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 36:31

And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their
iniquity
In cutting the roll pieces, and burning it, as Abarbinel interprets it; which either was done by himself, or by his order, and with his connivance; and at which perhaps his sons were present, and expressed a pleasure in it; an& his servants that stood by assented to it, excepting three; nor were they afraid of the judgments of God for it, nor in the least shocked at it, ( Jeremiah 36:24 Jeremiah 36:25 ) ; though this may be understood of all their iniquities they had been guilty of, the singular being put for the plural: and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and
upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against
them;
the sword, famine, and pestilence; the destruction of their land, city, and temple; and their captivity in Babylon: but they hearkened not;
to what was said to them, neither in the first nor in the second roll.

Yirmeyah 36:31 In-Context

29 And thou shalt say to Y’hoyakim Melech Yehudah, Thus saith Hashem: Thou hast burned this megilah, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, Melech Bavel shall certainly come and destroy HaAretz Hazot, and shall cause to cease from it adam and behemah?
30 Therefore thus saith Hashem of Y’hoyakim Melech Yehudah: He shall have none to sit upon the kisse Dovid; and his nevelah (dead body) shall be cast out in the chorev (heat, drought) of the yom, and in the kerakh (ice, frost) of the lailah.
31 And I will visit him [for punishment] and his zera and his avadim for their avon; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, and upon the Ish Yehudah, all the ra’ah (disaster, evil) that I have pronounced against them; yet they did not pay heed.
32 Then took Yirmeyah another megilah, and gave it to Baruch Ben Neriyah, HaSofer, who wrote therein from the peh of Yirmeyah all the Divrei HaSefer which Y’hoyakim Melech Yehudah had burned in eish; and there were added besides unto them many similar Devarim.
