Jérémie 6:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 6:12

And their houses shall be turned unto others
To strangers, to the Chaldeans; they shall be transferred unto them, come into their hands, and become their property: with their fields and wives together:
not only their houses and lands shall be taken away from them, and put to the use of others, but even their wives; than which nothing could be more distressing: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith
the Lord;
the inhabitants of the land of Judea; and so the Septuagint render it, "upon them that inhabit this land"; and so the Arabic version: wherefore, since the Lord would exert himself in this affair, and stretch out his hand of almighty power, as the Targum paraphrases it,

``I will lift up the stroke of my power;''
it might be depended upon that all this destruction threatened would come on them.

Jérémie 6:12 In-Context

10 A qui parlerai-je, et qui sommerai-je, pour qu'ils écoutent? Voici, leur oreille est incirconcise, et ils ne peuvent entendre; voici la parole de l'Éternel est pour eux un opprobre; ils n'y prennent point de plaisir.
11 Et je suis rempli de la fureur de l'Éternel, et je suis las de la contenir. Répands-la sur l'enfant dans la rue, et sur l'assemblée des jeunes gens aussi; car tant l'homme que la femme seront pris, le vieillard et celui qui est chargé de jours.
12 Et leurs maisons passeront à d'autres, les champs et les femmes aussi; car j'étendrai ma main sur les habitants du pays, dit l'Éternel.
13 Car, depuis le plus petit d'entre eux jusqu'au plus grand, chacun s'adonne au gain déshonnête; et du prophète au sacrificateur, tous se conduisent faussement.
14 Et ils pansent à la légère la plaie de la fille de mon peuple, disant: Paix, paix! et il n'y a point de paix.
