Geremia 25:9

9 io manderò a prendere tutte le nazioni del settentrione, dice l’Eterno, e manderò a chiamare Nebucadnetsar re di Babilonia, mio servitore, e le farò venire contro questo paese e contro i suoi abitanti, e contro tutte le nazioni che gli stanno d’intorno, e li voterò allo sterminio e li abbandonerò alla desolazione, alla derisione, a una solitudine perpetua.

Geremia 25:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:9

Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,
saith the Lord
The Targum is, the kingdoms of the north, the same with those in ( Jeremiah 1:15 ) ; even all those kingdoms which were subject to the king of Babylon, and lay north of Judea: and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon my servant:
though a great king, he was a servant of the Lord of hosts; his servant, both as a creature of his make, and as a king that ruled under him; and as he was an instrument in his hand to chastise his people the Jews; though it was not knowingly and with intention that he served the Lord: and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants
thereof;
the land of Judea, and its inhabitants; this was the Lord's doing; it was he that stirred, up the king of Babylon, and by his secret instinct and powerful providence brought him and his armies into Judea to spoil it, and the inhabitants of it Jehovah as it were marched at the head of them, and led them on, and brought them against the Jews, and delivered them into their hands: and against all these nations round about;
Egypt and others; so that the Jews could have no help from them; nor would application to them, and alliance with them, signify anything: and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an
hissing, and perpetual desolations;
both the Jews and their neighbours; who should be an astonishment to some, and a hissing to others, and remain desolate for a long time; even till the seventy years were ended after mentioned.

Geremia 25:9 In-Context

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,

9 io manderò a prendere tutte le nazioni del settentrione, dice l’Eterno, e manderò a chiamare Nebucadnetsar re di Babilonia, mio servitore, e le farò venire contro questo paese e contro i suoi abitanti, e contro tutte le nazioni che gli stanno d’intorno, e li voterò allo sterminio e li abbandonerò alla desolazione, alla derisione, a una solitudine perpetua.

10 E farò cessare fra loro i gridi di gioia e i gridi d’esultanza, il canto dello sposo e il canto della sposa, il rumore della macina, e la luce della lampada.

11 E tutto questo paese sarà ridotto in una solitudine e in una desolazione, e queste nazioni serviranno il re di Babilonia per settant’anni.
