5 e Nebucadnetsar menerà Sedekia a Babilonia, ed egli resterà quivi finch’io lo visiti, dice l’Eterno; se combattete contro i Caldei voi non riuscirete a nulla".

Geremia 32:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:5

And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon
As he did in chains, from Riblah, where he was brought unto him after he was taken, endeavouring to make his escape, ( Jeremiah 52:8 Jeremiah 52:9 Jeremiah 52:11 ) ; and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the Lord;
in taking him away by death; for he continued in Babylon to the time of his death, which was not violent, but natural; and, considering his circumstances, his captivity, imprisonment, and loss of sight, might be reckoned a visitation in mercy: though some understand this of God's visiting the people at the return of them from their seventy years' captivity; if Zedekiah lived till then, he must be a very old man; but of this we have no account, nor is it probable: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper;
though they should sally out upon them, in order to beat them out of their trenches, and drive them from the walls of the city, yet without success.

Geremia 32:5 In-Context

3 Ve l’aveva fatto rinchiudere Sedekia, re di Giuda, col dirgli: "Perché vai tu profetizzando dicendo: Così parla l’Eterno: Ecco, io do questa città in man del re di Babilonia, ed ei la prenderà;

4 e Sedekia, re di Giuda, non scamperà dalle mani de’ Caldei, ma sarà per certo dato in man del re di Babilonia, e parlerà con lui bocca a bocca, e lo vedrà faccia a faccia;

5 e Nebucadnetsar menerà Sedekia a Babilonia, ed egli resterà quivi finch’io lo visiti, dice l’Eterno; se combattete contro i Caldei voi non riuscirete a nulla".

6 E Geremia disse: "La parola dell’Eterno m’è stata rivolta in questi termini:

7 Ecco, Hanameel, figliuolo di Shallum, tuo zio, viene da te per dirti: Còmprati il mio campo ch’è ad Anatoth, poiché tu hai diritto di riscatto per comprarlo".
