Geremia 7:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:20

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
Since these are their thoughts, and this the fruit of their doings: behold, my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place;
like fire, to consume and destroy it; meaning Jerusalem, which was burned with fire; as an emblem of God's wrath, and an instance of his vengeance upon it, for sins; which came down in great abundance, like a storm or tempest: upon man and upon beast;
upon beasts for the sake of man, they being his property, and for his use; otherwise they are innocent, and do not deserve the wrath of God, nor are they sensible of it: and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of your ground;
which should be blighted by nipping winds, or cut down and trampled upon by the Chaldean army: and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched;
that is, the wrath of God shall burn like fire, and shall not cease until it has executed the whole will of God in the punishment of his people.

Geremia 7:20 In-Context

18 I figliuoli raccolgon le legna, i padri accendono il fuoco, e le donne intridon la pasta per far delle focacce alla regina del cielo e per far delle libazioni ad altri dèi, per offendermi.
19 E’ proprio me che offendono? dice l’Eterno; non offendon essi loro stessi, a loro propria confusione?
20 Perciò così parla il Signore, l’Eterno: Ecco, la mia ira, il mio furore, si riversa su questo luogo, sugli uomini e sulla bestie, sugli alberi della campagna e sui frutti della terra; essa consumerà ogni cosa e non si estinguerà.
21 Così parla l’Eterno degli eserciti, l’Iddio d’Israele: Aggiungete i vostri olocausti ai vostri sacrifizi, e mangiatene la carne!
22 Poiché io non parlai ai vostri padri e non diedi loro alcun comandamento, quando li trassi fuori dal paese d’Egitto, intorno ad olocausti ed a sacrifizi;
