Geremia 23:30 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 23:30

Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the
Lord
The false prophets, with whom the Lord was displeased; he set himself against them, and was determined to bring wrath and ruin on them. So the Targum,

``therefore, behold, I send my fury against the false prophets;''
that steal my word,
or "words" F17, everyone from his neighbour;
either from the true prophets; beginning their prophecies as they did, with a "thus saith the Lord"; and mingling some words and phrases used by them, the better to ingratiate themselves among the people, and that they might be taken for the prophets of the Lord; as Pelagius, Austin says, used the word "grace", the better to hide his sentiments, and cause them the more easily to be received by the people: or from the false prophets; they privately meeting, and consulting, and agreeing together what they should say to the people, as if they were the words of the Lord: or else from the people themselves; lessening their esteem for the words of the Lord; making them negligent of them and indifferent to them; and causing them to forget what they had heard and received.

Geremia 23:30 In-Context

28 Il profeta che ha avuto un sogno, racconti il sogno, e colui che ha udito la mia parola riferisca la mia parola fedelmente. Che ha da fare la paglia col frumento? dice l’Eterno.
29 La mia parola non è essa come il fuoco? dice l’Eterno; e come un martello che spezza il sasso?
30 Perciò, ecco, dice l’Eterno, io vengo contro i profeti che ruban gli uni agli altri le mie parole.
31 Ecco, dice l’Eterno, io vengo contro i profeti che fan parlar la loro propria lingua, eppure dicono: "Egli dice".
32 Ecco, dice l’Eterno, io vengo contro quelli che profetizzano sogni falsi, che li raccontano e traviano il mio popolo con le loro menzogne e con la loro temerità, benché io non li abbia mandati e non abbia dato loro alcun ordine, ed essi non possan recare alcun giovamento a questo popolo, dice l’Eterno.
