Geremia 25:6

6 e non andate dietro ad altri dèi per servirli e per prostrarvi dinanzi a loro; non mi provocate con l’opera delle vostre mani, e io non vi farò male alcuno".

Geremia 25:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:6

And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship
them
So long as they served the Lord God, they continued in their own land, in the comfortable enjoyment of all the blessings of it; for their government was a theocracy; God was their King; and as long as they served and worshipped him only, he protected and defended them; but when they forsook him, and went after other gods, and served and worshipped them, then they were threatened to be turned out of their land, and carried captive into other lands; and yet, after all, if they returned from their idolatries, and left off worshipping idols, the Lord was ready to receive them kindly, and continue his favours to them: and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands;

by sword, or famine, or pestilence, or captivity; signifying the hurt he had threatened them with should not be done, provided they forsook their idolatrous worship; God does no hurt to his true worshippers; yea, he makes all things work together for their good.

6 e non andate dietro ad altri dèi per servirli e per prostrarvi dinanzi a loro; non mi provocate con l’opera delle vostre mani, e io non vi farò male alcuno".

7 Ma voi non mi avete dato ascolto, dice l’Eterno per provocarmi, a vostro danno, con l’opera delle vostre mani.

8 Perciò, così dice l’Eterno degli eserciti: Giacché non avete dato ascolto alle mie parole, ecco,
