Jeremías 33:5

5 (Porque vinieron para pelear con los Caldeos, para henchirlas de cuerpos de hombres muertos, á los cuales herí yo con mi furor y con mi ira, pues que escondí mi rostro de esta ciudad, a causa de toda su malicia:)

Jeremías 33:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:5

They come to fight with the Chaldeans
Either the Jews out of the country, or their auxiliaries, their neighbours, to oblige them to break up the siege; but all to no purpose: or rather the Jews within; who, from the mounts erected, fight with the Chaldeans; or by sallying out upon them: but [it is] to fill them with the dead bodies of men;
the mounts, made of their houses, or their houses themselves; it is only to make them graves, and fill them with these carcasses: whom I have slain in mine anger, and in my fury;
that is, suffered to be slain, being wroth and angry with them, for their sins, as follows: and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from the city;
had no pity for it, showed no mercy to it, gave it no help and assistance, or protection, having withdrawn his presence from it. So the Targum,

``I have caused my Shechinah to depart from this city, because of their wickedness.''

Jeremías 33:5 In-Context

3 Clama á mí, y te responderé, y te enseñaré cosas grandes y dificultosas que tú no sabes.
4 Porque así ha dicho Jehová, Dios de Israel, acerca de las casas de esta ciudad, y de las casas de los reyes de Judá, derribadas con arietes y con hachas:
5 (Porque vinieron para pelear con los Caldeos, para henchirlas de cuerpos de hombres muertos, á los cuales herí yo con mi furor y con mi ira, pues que escondí mi rostro de esta ciudad, a causa de toda su malicia:)
6 He aquí que yo le hago subir sanidad y medicina; y los curaré, y les revelaré abundancia de paz y de verdad.
7 Y haré volver la cautividad de Judá, y la cautividad de Israel, y edificarélos como al principio.
