Geremia 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:18

When I would comfort myself against terror
Either naturally, by eating and drinking, the necessary and lawful means of refreshment; or spiritually, by reading the word of God, and looking over the promises in it: my heart is faint in me;
at the consideration of the calamities which were coming upon his people, and which were made known to him by a spirit of prophecy, of which he had no room to doubt. So the Targum takes them to be the words of the prophet, paraphrasing them,

``for them, saith the prophet, my heart grieves.''

Geremia 8:18 In-Context

16 S’ode da Dan lo sbuffare de’ suoi cavalli; al rumore del nitrito de’ suoi destrieri, trema tutto il paese; poiché vengono, divorano il paese e tutto ciò che contiene, la città e i suoi abitanti.
17 Poiché, ecco, io mando contro di voi de’ serpenti, degli aspidi, contro i quali non v’è incantagione che valga; e vi morderanno, dice l’Eterno.
18 Ove trovar conforto nel mio dolore? Il cuore mi langue in seno.
19 Ecco il grido d’angoscia della figliuola del mio popolo da terra lontana: "L’Eterno non è egli più in Sion? Il suo re non è egli più in mezzo a lei?" "Perché m’hanno provocato ad ira con le loro immagini scolpite e con vanità straniere?"
20 "La mèsse è passata, l’estate è finita, e noi non siamo salvati".
