Jeremías 21:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 21:5

And myself will fight against you
So far from being entreated to do for them according to his wondrous works in times past, as their friend; that he will set himself against them as their enemy; and sad it is to have God for an enemy: if God be for a people, none can be against them to do them any hurt; but if he is against them, it signifies nothing who is for them: this must be much more terrible to them than the whole Chaldean army, and the king of Babylon at the head of them: with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm;
such as he had used formerly in delivering Israel out of Egypt, but now in delivering them into the hands of their enemies; and out of the reach of such a hand there is no getting; and under the weight of such an arm there is no supporting; see ( Exodus 6:6 ) ( 13:9 ) ; even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath;
because of their sins and iniquities. This heap of words is used to show the greatness of his indignation: this was not the chastisement of a father, but the rebuke of an enemy; not a correction in love, but in hot displeasure; a punishment inflicted in vindictive wrath by a righteous Judge, appearing in a warlike manner.

Jeremías 21:5 In-Context

3 Y Jeremías les dijo: Diréis así a Sedequías:
4 Así dijo el SEÑOR Dios de Israel: He aquí yo vuelvo atrás las armas de guerra que están en vuestras manos, y con que vosotros peleáis con el rey de Babilonia; y los caldeos que os tienen cercados fuera de la muralla, yo los juntaré en medio de esta ciudad.
5 Y pelearé contra vosotros con mano alzada y con brazo fuerte, y con furor, y enojo, e ira grande;
6 y heriré los moradores de esta ciudad; y los hombres y las bestias morirán de pestilencia grande.
7 Y después, así dijo el SEÑOR: entregaré a Sedequías rey de Judá, y a sus criados, y al pueblo, y a los que quedaren en la ciudad de la pestilencia, y del cuchillo, y del hambre, en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y en mano de sus enemigos, y en mano de los que buscan sus almas; y él los herirá a filo de espada; no los perdonará, ni los recibirá a merced, ni tendrá de ellos misericordia.
