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
This is part of Jeremiah's prayer for vengeance against his enemies who had plotted to kill him for delivering God's warnings about Jerusalem's coming destruction. In the ancient Near East, such imprecatory prayers (prayers calling for divine judgment) were common when people felt they had exhausted all other means of justice. Jeremiah had faithfully warned the people for years, but they responded with hostility and death threats.
