Geremia 23:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:11

For both prophet and priest are profane
Being guilty of the afore mentioned sins. The Targum is,

``the scribe and the priest;''
and such were the scribes and priests in the time of our Lord; they played "the hypocrite" F17, as some render the word here; and are often charged with the sin of hypocrisy, and called hypocrites, ( Matthew 22:18 ) ( Matthew 23:13-15 Matthew 23:23 Matthew 23:25 Matthew 23:27 Matthew 23:29 ) ; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord;
where they officiated in holy things, or should have done so; where the one should have instructed the people, and the other offered sacrifices for them, according to the will of God; there they committed wickedness, which was an aggravation of their sin, as was the case of Eli's sons, ( 1 Samuel 2:22-24 ) ; perhaps the same sin was committed by these men; or idolatry may be meant; setting up images, and building altars for them in the house of God; see ( Jeremiah 7:30 ) ; or carrying on traffic and merchandise, whereby the temple was made a house of merchandise, as it was in the times of Christ, ( John 2:14-16 ) .

Geremia 23:11 In-Context

9 Contro i profeti. Il cuore mi si spezza in seno, tutte le mie ossa tremano; io sono come un ubriaco, come un uomo sopraffatto dal vino, a cagione dell’Eterno e a cagione delle sue parole sante.
10 Poiché il paese è pieno di adulteri; poiché il paese fa cordoglio a motivo della maledizione che lo colpisce; i pascoli del deserto sono inariditi. La corsa di costoro è diretta al male, la loro forza non tende al bene.
11 Profeti e sacerdoti sono empi, nella mia casa stessa ho trovato la loro malvagità, dice l’Eterno.
12 Perciò la loro via sarà per loro come luoghi lùbrici in mezzo alle tenebre; essi vi saranno spinti, e cadranno; poiché io farò venir su loro la calamità, l’anno in cui li visiterò, dice l’Eterno.
13 Avevo ben visto cose insulse tra i profeti di Samaria; profetizzavano nel nome di Baal, e traviavano il mio popolo d’Israele.
