Geremia 13:9

Listen to Geremia 13:9
9 Così parla l’Eterno: "In questo modo io distruggerò l’orgoglio di Giuda e il grande orgoglio di Gerusalemme,

Geremia 13:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 13:9

Thus saith the Lord, after this manner
As this girdle has been hid in Euphrates, and has been marred and rendered useless; so in like manner, and by such like means, will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem;
or their glory, or excellency F20; that which they gloried in, and were proud of; their city which was burnt, and their temple which was destroyed by the Chaldeans; their king, princes, and nobles, who were carried captive into Babylon, by the river Euphrates, and stripped of all their grandeur, honour, and glory; and so the Targum,

``so will I corrupt the strength of the men of Judah, and the strength of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, which is much;''
and to which agrees the Syriac version, which renders it,
``the proud or haughty men of Judah, and the many haughty men of Jerusalem.''

Geremia 13:9 In-Context

7 E io andai verso l’Eufrate, e scavai, e tolsi la cintura dal luogo dove l’avevo nascosta; ed ecco, la cintura era guasta, e non era più buona a nulla.
8 Allora la parola dell’Eterno mi fu rivolta in questi termini:
9 Così parla l’Eterno: "In questo modo io distruggerò l’orgoglio di Giuda e il grande orgoglio di Gerusalemme,
10 di questo popolo malvagio che ricusa di ascoltare le mie parole, che cammina seguendo la caparbietà del suo cuore, e va dietro ad altri dèi per servirli e per prostrarsi dinanzi a loro; esso diventerà come questa cintura, che non è più buona a nulla.
11 Poiché, come la cintura aderisce ai fianchi dell’uomo, così io avevo strettamente unita a me tutta la casa d’Israele e tutta la casa di Giuda, dice l’Eterno, perché fossero mio popolo, mia fama, mia lode, mia gloria; ma essi non han voluto dare ascolto.
