Geremia 22:28

28 Questo Conia è egli dunque un vaso spezzato, infranto? E’ egli un oggetto che non fa più alcun piacere? Perché son dunque cacciati, egli e la sua progenie, lanciati in un paese che non conoscono?

Geremia 22:28 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:28

[Is] this man Coniah a despised broken idol?
&c.] Or like an idol that is nothing in the world, and like a broken one, that, whatever worship before was paid to it, has now none at all, but is despised by its votaries? he is such an one; though he was idolized by his people when be first came to the throne; but now his power and government being broken, and he carried captive, was despised by all; as his being called Coniah, and "this man" or fellow, show; which are used of him in a way of reproach and contempt; [is he] a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure?
he is. He is like a vessel made for dishonour, or is used for the most contemptible service; or like one that is cracked, or broken, or defiled, that no use can be made of it, or any delight taken in it; it is not fit to set up, to be looked at, or to be made use of; wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed;
which were in his loins, and were begotten by him in captivity; see ( 1 Chronicles 3:17 1 Chronicles 3:18 ) ; and so said to be cast out with him, when he was cast out of the land of Judea; just as Levi paid tithes in Abraham before he was born, ( Hebrews 7:9 Hebrews 7:10 ) ; and are cast into a land which they know not?
where they had no friends and acquaintance; doubtless it was for his sins and transgressions, and those of his people.

Geremia 22:28 In-Context

26 E caccerò te e tua madre che t’ha partorito, in un paese straniero dove non siete nati, e quivi morrete.

27 Ma quanto al paese al quale brameranno tornare, essi non vi torneranno.

28 Questo Conia è egli dunque un vaso spezzato, infranto? E’ egli un oggetto che non fa più alcun piacere? Perché son dunque cacciati, egli e la sua progenie, lanciati in un paese che non conoscono?

29 O paese, o paese o paese, ascolta la parola dell’Eterno!

30 Così parla l’Eterno: Inscrivete quest’uomo come privo di figliuoli, come un uomo che non prospererà durante i suoi giorni; perché nessuno della sua progenie giungerà a sedersi sul trono di Davide, ed a regnare ancora su Giuda.
