Jeremías 7:29 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 7:29

Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away
This supplement is made, because the word is feminine; and therefore cannot be directed to the prophet, but to Jerusalem, and its inhabitants; shaving the head is a sign of mourning, ( Job 1:20 ) and this is enjoined, to show that there would soon be a reason for it; wherefore it follows: and take up a lamentation on high places:
that it might be heard afar off; or because of the idolatry frequently committed in high places. The Targum is,

``pluck off the hair for thy great ones that are carried captive, and take up a lamentation for the princes:''
for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath;
a generation of men, deserving of the wrath of God, and appointed to it, on whom he determined to pour it out; of which his rejection and forsaking of them was a token: this was remarkably true of that generation in which Christ and his apostles lived, who disbelieved the Messiah, and had no faith in him, and spoke lying and blasphemous words concerning him; and therefore were rejected and forsaken by the Lord; and wrath came upon them to the uttermost.

Jeremías 7:29 In-Context

27 T煤, pues, les dir谩s todas estas palabras, mas no te oir谩n; aun los llamar谩s, y no te responder谩n.
28 Les dir谩s por tanto: Esta es la gente que no escuch贸 la voz del SE脩OR su Dios, ni tom贸 castigo; se perdi贸 la fe, y de la boca de ellos fue cortada.
29 Trasquila tu cabello, y arr贸jalo, y levanta llanto sobre las alturas; porque el SE脩OR arroj贸 y dej贸 la naci贸n de su furor.
30 Porque los hijos de Jud谩 han hecho lo malo ante mis ojos, dijo el SE脩OR; pusieron sus abominaciones en la Casa sobre la cual mi nombre fue llamado, contamin谩ndola.
31 Y edificaron los altos de Tofet, que es en el valle de Ben-Hinom, para quemar en fuego sus hijos y sus hijas, cosa que yo no les mand茅, ni subi贸 en mi coraz贸n.
