Geremia 45:1 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 45:1

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of
Neriah
Who was his amanuensis or scribe; and this word he spake not to him of himself, but in the name of the Lord, as coming from him; so the Targum calls it,

Geremia 45:1 In-Context

1 La parola che il profeta Geremia rivolse a Baruc, figliuolo di Neria, quando questi scrisse queste parole in un libro, a dettatura di Geremia, l’anno quarto di Joiakim, figliuolo di Giosia, re di Giuda. Egli disse:

4 Digli così: Così parla l’Eterno: Ecco, ciò che ho edificato, io lo distruggerò; ciò che ho piantato, io lo sradicherò; e questo farò in tutto il paese.

5 E tu cercheresti grandi cose per te? Non le cercare! poiché, ecco, io farò venir del male sopra ogni carne, dice l’Eterno, ma a te darò la vita come bottino, in tutti i luoghi dove tu andrai".
