Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
No dejes que tus pies anden descalzos, y no dejes que tu garganta se seque de sed. Pero dijiste: '¡No hay esperanza! ¡De ninguna manera! Me he enamorado de dioses extranjeros, y seguiré persiguiéndolos.'
Israel rechaza el cuidado de Dios y elige persistir en su búsqueda desesperada de dioses falsos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Jeremiah was a prophet in ancient Judah around the 7th-6th century BC, warning the people about their spiritual unfaithfulness to God as they turned to foreign gods and alliances for security during times of political turmoil. In this verse, God uses metaphors like withholding one's foot from being unshod, meaning not to pursue exhausting and vulnerable paths, and keeping the throat from thirst, symbolizing the avoidance of false sources of satisfaction. Judah's response reflects their stubborn rebellion, as they declared no hope in returning to God and insisted on chasing after these "strangers," which represented idolatrous nations and practices.
