Jeremías 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 8:15

We looked for peace
Outward prosperity, affluence of temporal blessings, peace with enemies, and safety from them, which the false prophets had given them reason to expect; or which last they concluded and hoped for, from their being in the defenced cities: but no good came;
they were disappointed in their expectation; the good that was promised them, and they looked for, never came, but all the reverse: and for a time of health;
or, of healing F12; the political wounds of the commonwealth of Israel: and behold trouble!
or "terror" F13; at the approach of the enemy, described in the following verses. The Targum is,

``a time of pardon of offences, and, lo, a punishment of sins.''
Healing, in Scripture, signifies pardon of sin; see ( Psalms 41:4 ) ( 103:3 ) .

Jeremías 8:15 In-Context

13 Los cortaré del todo, dijo el SEÑOR. No hay uvas en la vid, ni higos en la higuera, y se caerá la hoja; y lo que les he dado pasará de ellos.
14 ¿Sobre qué nos aseguramos? Juntaos, y entrémonos en las ciudades fuertes, y allí quedaremos quietos; porque el SEÑOR nuestro Dios nos ha hecho callar, y nos dio a beber bebida de hiel, porque pecamos contra el SEÑOR.
15 Esperamos paz, y no hubo bien; día de cura, y he aquí turbación.
16 Desde Dan se oyó el bufido de sus caballos; del sonido de los relinchos de sus fuertes tembló toda la tierra; y vinieron y devoraron la tierra y su abundancia, ciudad y moradores de ella.
17 Porque he aquí que yo envío sobre vosotros serpientes, basiliscos, contra los cuales no hay encantamiento; y os morderán, dijo el SEÑOR.
