Geremia 14:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 14:11

Then said the Lord unto me
To the prophet; now the Lord gives a more direct answer to him, and to his prayers and intercession for the people; which he forbids, saying, pray not for this people for their good;
or "for good things", as the Septuagint; for rain, that the famine might cease; and for deliverance from their enemies, that they might not go into captivity; for these things were determined upon by the Lord: he does not forbid him praying at all for them, or for their repentance and reformation; or for spiritual good things for them, for eternal life and salvation for the remnant of his own people among them; but not for external good things for the bulk of them.

Geremia 14:11 In-Context

9 Perché saresti come un uomo sopraffatto, come un prode che non può salvare? Eppure, o Eterno, tu sei in mezzo a noi, e il tuo nome è invocato su noi; non ci abbandonare!
10 Così parla l’Eterno a questo popolo: Essi amano andar vagando; non trattengono i loro piedi; perciò l’Eterno non li gradisce, si ricorda ora della loro iniquità, e punisce i loro peccati.
11 E l’Eterno mi disse: "Non pregare per il bene di questo popolo.
12 Se digiunano, non ascolterò il loro grido; se fanno degli olocausti e delle offerte, non li gradirò; anzi io sto per consumarli con la spada, con la fame, con la peste".
13 Allora io dissi: "Ah, Signore, Eterno! ecco, i profeti dicon loro: Voi non vedrete la spada, né avrete mai la fame; ma io vi darò una pace sicura in questo luogo".
