Geremia 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 5:9

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord
For such adulteries and lasciviousness, and that in a way of punishment. The Targum adds,

``to bring evil upon them;''
the evil of punishment for the evil of sin: and shall not my soul be avenged upon such a nation as this?
which cannot delight in sin, but hates it; and therefore must punish for it; vindictive and punitive justice is essential to God; as sin is contrary to his nature, it is agreeable to it to punish for it; he cannot but do it; and he does avenge all sin, either on the sinner himself, or on his surety.

Geremia 5:9 In-Context

7 Perché ti perdonerei io? I tuoi figliuoli m’hanno abbandonato, e giurano per degli dèi che non esistono. Io li ho satollati ed essi si dànno all’adulterio, e s’affollano nelle case di prostituzione.
8 Sono come tanti stalloni ben pasciuti ed ardenti; ognun d’essi nitrisce dietro la moglie del prossimo.
9 Non li punirei io per queste cose? dice l’Eterno; e l’anima mia non si vendicherebbe d’una simile nazione?
10 Salite sulle sue mura e distruggete, ma non la finite del tutto; portate via i suoi tralci, perché non son dell’Eterno!
11 Poiché la casa d’Israele e la casa di Giuda m’hanno tradito, dice l’Eterno.
