Jeremías 14:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 14:12

When they fast, I will not hear their cry
Or, "though they fast" F11; very probably on account of the want of rain, and the dearth or famine, a fast was proclaimed; see ( Jeremiah 36:9 ) , when they prayed and cried aloud, and made a great noise; but their prayers being hypocritical, and not arising from a pure heart, or offered up in faith and love, were not heard and accepted by the Lord: and when they offer burnt offerings and an oblation;
or a meat or bread offering, which went along with the burnt offering; thinking by those outward things to atone for their sins, without true repentance for them, or faith in the atoning sacrifice of Christ: I will not accept them;
neither their offerings, nor their persons: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the
pestilence;
the Lord not only determines the continuance of the famine, notwithstanding the prayers of the prophet; but adds two other judgments, the sword and pestilence, by which he was resolved to consume them; and therefore it was to no purpose to pray to him on their behalf, he was inexorable.

Jeremías 14:12 In-Context

10 Así dijo el SEÑOR a este pueblo: Así amaron moverse, ni detuvieron sus pies; por tanto, el SEÑOR no los tiene en su voluntad; ahora se acordará de la maldad de ellos, y visitará su pecado.
11 Y me dijo el SEÑOR: No ruegues por este pueblo para bien.
12 Cuando ayunaren, yo no oiré su clamor, y cuando ofrecieren holocausto y ofrenda, no lo aceptaré; antes los consumiré con cuchillo, y con hambre, y con pestilencia.
13 Y yo dije: ¡Ah! ¡ah! ¡Señor DIOS! He aquí que los profetas les dicen: No veréis cuchillo, ni habrá hambre en vosotros, sino que en este lugar os daré paz verdadera.
14 Me dijo entonces el SEÑOR: En falso profetizan los profetas en mi nombre; no los envié, ni les mandé, ni les hablé; visión mentirosa, y adivinación, y vanidad, y engaño de su corazón os profetizan.
