Geremia 8:21 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:21

For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt
These are the words, not of God, as Jerom; nor of Jerusalem, as the Targum; but of the prophet, as Kimchi observes, expressing his sympathy with the people in their affliction: and they may be rendered, "for the breach of the daughter of my people" F15, which was made when the city was broken up and destroyed, ( Jeremiah 52:7 ) . I am broken;
in heart and spirit: I am black;
with grief and sorrow. The Targum is,

``my face is covered with blackness, black as a pot.''
Astonishment hath taken hold on me; at the miseries that were come upon his people; and there was no remedy for them, which occasion the following words.

F15 (rbv le) "super contritione", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus; "super confractione", Schmidt; "ob fractionem", Cocceius.

Geremia 8:21 In-Context

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".
21 Per la piaga della figliuola del mio popolo io son tutto affranto; sono in lutto, sono in preda alla costernazione.
22 Non v’è egli balsamo in Galaad? Non v’è egli colà alcun medico? Perché dunque la piaga della figliuola del mio popolo non è stata medicata?
