Geremia 21:9

Listen to Geremia 21:9
9 Colui che rimarrà in questa città morrà per la spada, per la fame o per la peste; ma chi ne uscirà per arrendersi ai Caldei che vi assediano vivrà, e avrà la vita per suo bottino.

Geremia 21:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 21:9

He that abideth in this city
Imagining himself safe there; not fearing its being taken by the king of Babylon; though it was so often foretold by the prophet of the Lord that it should: shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:
by the first of these, in sallying out against the enemy; and by the other two, which raged within the city: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you,
he shall live;
not fall upon them, as the words may be literally rendered; so it would describe such that went out of the city and sallied upon them; whereas it designs such who should go out of the city, and surrender themselves unto the Chaldeans; submit to them, so as to obey them, as the Targum adds; such shall have their lives spared: and his life shall be unto him for a prey;
it shall be like a spoil or booty taken out of an enemy's hands; it shall be with difficulty obtained, and with joy possessed, as a prey or spoil is.

9 Colui che rimarrà in questa città morrà per la spada, per la fame o per la peste; ma chi ne uscirà per arrendersi ai Caldei che vi assediano vivrà, e avrà la vita per suo bottino.
10 Poiché io volgo la mia faccia contro questa città per farle del male e non del bene, dice l’Eterno; essa sarà data in mano del re di Babilonia, ed egli la darà alle fiamme.
11 E alla casa dei re di Giuda di’: Ascoltate la parola dell’Eterno:
