Listen to Geremia 4:6

Geremia 4:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 4:6

Set up the standard toward Zion
Not on the tower of Zion, as Kimchi interprets it; but on some high place, pointing to Zion, and directing the country people to flee thither for safety; for the setting up of the standard here is not for enlisting of soldiers in order to fight, but as a sign of danger, and a direction where to flee from it: retire;
gather yourselves together in order to flee, as the word F16 is rendered in ( Isaiah 10:31 ) , though some render it, "be ye strengthened" {q}; take heart, and play the man; but this does not seem so agreeable to the context: stay not;
or, "stand not"; stand not in the place ye are in, but move from it in all haste, because of present danger: for I will bring evil from the north;
from Babylon, as Kimchi interprets it; which lay north to the land of Israel; and so designs the captivity Judah should be brought into there: and a great destruction
or, "breach" F18; which the Babylonians should make on the inhabitants of Judea and Jerusalem.

Geremia 4:6 In-Context

4 Circoncidetevi per l’Eterno, circoncidete i vostri cuori, o uomini di Giuda e abitanti di Gerusalemme, affinché il mio furore non scoppi come un fuoco, e non s’infiammi sì che nessuno possa spegnerlo, a motivo della malvagità delle vostre azioni!
5 Annunziate in Giuda, bandite questo in Gerusalemme, e dite: "Suonate le trombe nel paese!" gridate forte e dite: "Adunatevi ed entriamo nelle cittĂ  forti!"
6 Alzate la bandiera verso Sion, cercate un rifugio, non vi fermate, perch’io faccio venire dal settentrione una calamità e una grande rovina.
7 Un leone balza fuori dal folto del bosco, e un distruttore di nazioni s’è messo in via, ha lasciato il suo luogo, per ridurre il tuo paese in desolazione, sì che le tue città saranno rovinate e prive d’abitanti.
8 Perciò, cingetevi di sacchi, fate cordoglio, mandate lamenti! perché l’ardente ira dell’Eterno non s’è stornata da noi.
