Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
Por tanto, entrega sus hijos al hambre, y déjalos caer a filo de espada. Que sus mujeres queden sin hijos y viudas. Que sus hombres sean muertos por la peste, y sus jóvenes heridos a espada en la batalla.
Jeremías pide que caiga juicio severo sobre sus enemigos, incluyendo hambre, guerra y muerte.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context, Jeremiah was a prophet in ancient Judah around 600 BC, during a time when the nation faced imminent invasion by Babylon due to widespread idolatry and covenant unfaithfulness. This verse is part of Jeremiah's impassioned prayer, where he calls for divine judgment on those conspiring against him and the people, echoing the themes of God's promised consequences for sin as outlined in earlier biblical books like Deuteronomy. It reflects the cultural reality of ancient Near Eastern warfare and the prophetic role in invoking God's justice amid national crisis.
