Geremia 42:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 42:15

And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of
Judah
A small remnant indeed, a few that were left in the land; who ought therefore to have admired the distinguishing goodness of Providence in preserving them in it; where they should have continued and made use of their privilege, to the glory of God and their mutual good: thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
the Lord of armies above and below, the Lord God omnipotent, and so able to protect them in their land; and who had a peculiar favour to Israel, and stood in a particular relation to them, and therefore would do it, of which they had no reason to doubt; but, disobliging him, what judgments might they not expect? if you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt:
are resolved upon it, and are actually engaged in it; turning their faces from Judea towards Egypt, and obstinately pursuing it, nor can be reclaimed from it: the phrase expresses their resolution, impudence, and obstinacy: and go to sojourn there:
to be sojourners and strangers there, as their fathers had been before; the remembrance of which was enough to set them against going into Egypt any more.

Geremia 42:15 In-Context

13 Ma se dite: Noi non rimarremo in questo paese, se non ubbidite alla voce dell’Eterno, del vostro Dio, e dite:
14 No, andremo nel paese d’Egitto, dove non vedremo la guerra, non udremo suon di tromba, e dove non avrem più fame di pane, e quivi dimoreremo,
15 ebbene, ascoltate allora la parola dell’Eterno, o superstiti di Giuda! Così parla l’Eterno degli eserciti, l’Iddio d’Israele: Se siete decisi a recarvi in Egitto, e se andate a dimorarvi,
16 la spada che temete vi raggiungerà là, nel paese d’Egitto, e la fame che paventate vi starà alle calcagna là in Egitto, e quivi morrete.
17 Tutti quelli che avranno deciso di andare in Egitto per dimorarvi, vi morranno di spada, di fame o di peste; nessun di loro scamperà, sfuggirà al male ch’io farò venire su loro.
