Jérémie 22:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:8

And many nations shall pass by this city
After it is burned down and destroyed; that is, people out of many nations travelling that way: and they shall say every man to his neighbour;
as in company together, passing along the ruined walls of the city: wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city?
so fortified and so full of people; the metropolis of the whole nation; the greatest city in the east; yea, the joy of the whole earth; a city peculiarly dear to the Lord; greatly honoured by him with his presence, worship, and ordinances, and yet now in ruins; how comes this to pass? they see and acknowledge the hand of the Lord in it, having a better notion of things than the Jews themselves had.

Jérémie 22:8 In-Context

6 Car ainsi a dit l'Éternel touchant la maison du roi de Juda: Tu es pour moi comme un Galaad, comme le sommet du Liban; mais certainement, je ferai de toi un désert, des villes sans habitants.
7 Je prépare contre toi des destructeurs, chacun avec ses armes, qui couperont et jetteront au feu l'élite de tes cèdres.
8 Et plusieurs nations passeront près de cette ville, et chacun dira à son compagnon: Pourquoi l'Éternel a-t-il fait ainsi à cette grande ville?
9 Et on répondra: Parce qu'ils ont abandonné l'alliance de l'Éternel leur Dieu, et qu'ils se sont prosternés devant d'autres dieux, et les ont servis.
10 Ne pleurez point celui qui est mort; ne faites point sur lui de condoléance. Mais pleurez, pleurez celui qui s'en va; car il ne reviendra plus, il ne reverra plus le pays de sa naissance!
