Jeremías 6
Nueva Traducción BibliaTodo (NTBT) · Español
1 ¡Busquen refugio, hijos de Benjamín, fuera de Jerusalén! Toquen la trompeta en Tecoa y alcen una señal sobre Bet-haquerem, porque desde el norte se asoma una calamidad y una gran destrucción. 2 «Voy a destruir a la hermosa y delicada hija de Sion. 3 Contra ella vendrán pastores con sus rebaños; levantarán sus tiendas alrededor de ella y cada uno apacentará en su lugar». 4 «¡Consagren la guerra contra ella! ¡Levántense y ataquemos al mediodía! ¡Ay de nosotros, porque el día declina y se alargan las sombras de la tarde! 5 ¡Levántense y ataquemos de noche, y destruyamos sus palacios!». 6 Porque así dice Jehová de los ejércitos: «Corten árboles y levanten una rampa de asedio contra Jerusalén. Esta es la ciudad que debe ser castigada; todo dentro de ella es opresión. 7 Como un pozo hace brotar sus aguas, así ella hace brotar su maldad. En ella se oyen violencia y destrucción; ante mí hay continuamente enfermedad y heridas. 8 Acepta la corrección, Jerusalén, no sea que me aparte de ti, no sea que te convierta en desolación, en tierra deshabitada». 9 Así dice Jehová de los ejércitos: «Rebuscarán a fondo al resto de Israel, como a una vid. Vuelve a pasar la mano por los sarmientos, como un vendimiador». 10 ¿A quién hablaré y advertiré para que escuche? Sus oídos están incircuncisos y no pueden prestar atención. La palabra de Jehová les resulta ofensiva; no encuentran deleite en ella. 11 Estoy lleno del furor de Jehová; estoy cansado de contenerlo. «Derrámalo sobre los niños en la calle y sobre los jóvenes reunidos, porque serán apresados el marido junto con la mujer, el anciano junto con el muy anciano. 12 Sus casas pasarán a otros, junto con sus campos y sus mujeres, porque extenderé mi mano contra los habitantes de esta tierra —declara Jehová—. 13 Porque desde el menor hasta el mayor, todos buscan ganancias injustas; desde el profeta hasta el sacerdote, todos practican el engaño. 14 Curan a la ligera la herida de mi pueblo, diciendo: “¡Paz, paz!”, cuando no hay paz. 15 ¿Se avergonzaron de haber cometido abominaciones? No se avergüenzan en absoluto; ni siquiera saben sonrojarse. Por eso caerán entre los que caigan; cuando los castigue, serán derribados —dice Jehová—». 16 Así dice Jehová: «Deténganse en los caminos y miren; pregunten por las sendas antiguas, dónde está el buen camino, y anden por él. Así encontrarán descanso para sus almas. Pero dijeron: “No andaremos por él”. 17 Puse centinelas sobre ustedes: “¡Presten atención al sonido de la trompeta!”. Pero dijeron: “No prestaremos atención”. 18 Por eso, escuchen, naciones; conoce, congregación, lo que les sucederá. 19 Escucha, tierra: voy a traer sobre este pueblo una calamidad, el fruto de sus pensamientos, porque no prestaron atención a mis palabras y rechazaron mi ley. 20 ¿Para qué me traen incienso de Sabá y caña aromática de una tierra lejana? Sus holocaustos no son aceptables y sus sacrificios no me agradan». 21 Por eso, así dice Jehová: «Voy a poner obstáculos delante de este pueblo. Tropezarán con ellos padres e hijos juntos; el vecino y su compañero perecerán». 22 Así dice Jehová: «Miren, viene un pueblo de la tierra del norte; una gran nación se levanta desde los confines de la tierra. 23 Empuñan arco y jabalina; son crueles y no tienen compasión. Su voz brama como el mar. Montan a caballo, formados como hombres para la guerra contra ti, hija de Sion». 24 Hemos oído las noticias de ellos y nos flaquean las manos. La angustia se ha apoderado de nosotros, dolores como los de una mujer de parto. 25 No salgas al campo ni andes por el camino, porque el enemigo tiene espada; hay terror por todas partes. 26 Hija de mi pueblo, vístete de tela de saco y revuélcate en ceniza. Haz duelo como por un hijo único, con amargo lamento, porque de repente vendrá sobre nosotros el destructor. 27 «Te he puesto como examinador entre mi pueblo, como una fortaleza, para que conozcas y examines su conducta. 28 Todos ellos son rebeldes obstinados, que andan calumniando; son bronce y hierro, todos ellos son corruptores. 29 El fuelle sopla con fuerza; el plomo se consume en el fuego. Refina y refina en vano el fundidor: los malvados no son separados. 30 Los llaman plata rechazada, porque Jehová los ha rechazado».

Jeremías 6:1
Jr 6:1-30. Zion's Foes Prepare War against Her: Her Sins Are the Cause.
1. Benjamin--Jerusalem was situated in the tribe of Benjamin, which was here separated from that of Judah by the valley of Hinnom. Though it was inhabited partly by Benjamites, partly by men of Judah, he addresses the former as being his own countrymen.
blow ... trumpet ... Tekoa--Tikehu, Tekoa form a play on sounds. The birthplace of Amos.
Beth-haccerem--meaning in Hebrew, "vineyard-house." It and Tekoa were a few miles south of Jerusalem. As the enemy came from the north, the inhabitants of the surrounding country would naturally flee southwards. The fire-signal on the hills gave warning of danger approaching.
Jeremías 6:2
2. likened--rather, "I lay waste." Literally, "O comely and delicate one, I lay waste the daughter of Zion," that is, "thee." So Zec 3:9, "before Joshua," that is, "before thee" [Maurer].
Jeremías 6:3
Jeremías 6:4-5
4-5. The invading soldiers encourage one another to the attack on Jerusalem.
Prepare--literally, "Sanctify" war, that is, Proclaim it formally with solemn rites; the invasion was solemnly ordered by God (compare Is 13:3).
at noon--the hottest part of the day when attacks were rarely made (Jr 15:8; 20:16). Even at this time they wished to attack, such is their eagerness.
Woe unto us--The words of the invaders, mourning the approach of night which would suspend their hostile operations; still, even in spite of the darkness, at night they renew the attack (Jr 6:5).
Jeremías 6:6
6. cast--Hebrew, "pour out"; referring to the emptying of the baskets of earth to make the mound, formed of "trees" and earthwork, to overtop the city walls. The "trees" were also used to make warlike engines.
this--pointing the invaders to Jerusalem.
visited--that is, punished.
wholly oppression--or join "wholly" with "visited," that is, she is altogether (in her whole extent) to be punished [Maurer].
Jeremías 6:7
Jeremías 6:8
Jeremías 6:9
9. The Jews are the grapes, their enemies the unsparing gleaners.
turn back ... hand--again and again bring freshly gathered handfuls to the baskets; referring to the repeated carrying away of captives to Babylon (Jr 52:28-30; 2Ki 24:14; 25:11).
Jeremías 6:10
Jeremías 6:11
11. fury of ... Lord--His denunciations against Judah communicated to the prophet.
weary with holding in--(Jr 20:9).
I will pour--or else imperative: the command of God (see Jr 6:12), "Pour it out" [Maurer].
aged ... full of days--The former means one becoming old; the latter a decrepit old man [Maurer] (Job 5:26; Is 65:20).
Jeremías 6:12
12. The very punishments threatened by Moses in the event of disobedience to God (De 28:30).
turned--transferred.
Jeremías 6:13
Jeremías 6:14
14. hurt--the spiritual wound.
slightly--as if it were but a slight wound; or, in a slight manner, pronouncing all sound where there is no soundness.
saying--namely, the prophets and priests (Jr 6:13). Whereas they ought to warn the people of impending judgments and the need of repentance, they say there is nothing to fear.
peace--including soundness. All is sound in the nation's moral state, so all will be peace as to its political state (Jr 4:10; 8:11; 14:13; 23:17; Eze 13:5, 10; 22:28).
Jeremías 6:15
15. Rosenmuller translates, "They ought to have been ashamed, because ... but," &c.; the Hebrew verb often expressing, not the action, but the duty to perform it (Ge 20:9; Mal 2:7). Maurer translates, "They shall be put to shame, for they commit abomination; nay (the prophet correcting himself), there is no shame in them" (Jr 3:3; 8:12; Eze 3:7; Zep 3:5).
them that fall--They shall fall with the rest of their people who are doomed to fall, that is, I will now cease from words; I will execute vengeance [Calvin].
Jeremías 6:16
16. Image from travellers who have lost their road, stopping and inquiring which is the right way on which they once had been, but from which they have wandered.
old paths--Idolatry and apostasy are the modern way; the worship of God the old way. Evil is not coeval with good, but a modern degeneracy from good. The forsaking of God is not, in a true sense, a "way cast up" at all (Jr 18:15; Psa 139:24; Mal 4:4).
Jeremías 6:17
Jeremías 6:18
18. congregation--parallel to "nations"; it therefore means the gathered peoples who are invited to be witnesses as to how great is the perversity of the Israelites (Jr 6:16, 17), and that they deserve the severe punishment about to be inflicted on them (Jr 6:19).
what is among them--what deeds are committed by the Israelites (Jr 6:16, 17) [Maurer]. Or, "what punishments are about to be inflicted on them" [Calvin].
Jeremías 6:19
Jeremías 6:20
20. Literally, "To what purpose is this to Me, that incense cometh to Me?"
incense ... cane--(Is 43:24; 60:6). No external services are accepted by God without obedience of the heart and life (Jr 7:21; Psa 50:7-9; Is 1:11; Mi 6:6, &c.).
sweet ... sweet--antithesis. Your sweet cane is not sweet to Me. The calamus.
Jeremías 6:21
Jeremías 6:22
22. north ... sides of the earth--The ancients were little acquainted with the north; therefore it is called the remotest regions (as the Hebrew for "sides" ought to be translated, see on Is 14:13) of the earth. The Chaldees are meant (Jr 1:15; 5:15). It is striking that the very same calamities which the Chaldeans had inflicted on Zion are threatened as the retribution to be dealt in turn to themselves by Jehovah (Jr 50:41-43).
Jeremías 6:23
23. like the sea--(Is 5:30).
as men for war--not that they were like warriors, for they were warriors; but "arrayed most perfectly as warriors" [Maurer].
Jeremías 6:24
24. fame thereof--the report of them.
Jeremías 6:25
25. He addresses "the daughter of Zion" (Jr 6:23); caution to the citizens of Jerusalem not to expose themselves to the enemy by going outside of the city walls.
sword of the enemy--literally, "there is a sword to the enemy"; the enemy hath a sword.
Jeremías 6:26
26. wallow ... in ashes--(Jr 25:34; Mi 1:10). As they usually in mourning only "cast ashes on the head," wallowing in them means something more, namely, so entirely to cover one's self with ashes as to be like one who had rolled in them (Eze 27:30).
as for an only son--(Am 8:10; Zec 12:10).
lamentation--literally, "lamentation expressed by beating the breast."
Jeremías 6:27
27. tower ... fortress--(Jr 1:18), rather, "an assayer (and) explorer." By a metaphor from metallurgy in Jr 6:27-30, Jehovah, in conclusion, confirms the prophet in his office, and the latter sums up the description of the reprobate people on whom he had to work. The Hebrew for "assayer" (English Version, "tower") is from a root "to try" metals. "Explorer" (English Version, "fortress") is from an Arabic root, "keen-sighted"; or a Hebrew root, "cutting," that is, separating the metal from the dross [Ewald]. Gesenius translates as English Version, "fortress," which does not accord with the previous "assayer."
Jeremías 6:28
28. grievous revolters--literally, "contumacious of the contumacious," that is, most contumacious, the Hebrew mode of expressing a superlative. So "the strong among the mighty," that is, the strongest (Eze 32:21). See Jr 5:23; Ho 4:16.
walking with slanders--(Jr 9:4). "Going about for the purpose of slandering" [Maurer].
brass, &c.--that is, copper. It and "iron" being the baser and harder metals express the debased and obdurate character of the Jews (Is 48:4; 60:17).
Jeremías 6:29
29. bellows ... burned--So intense a heat is made that the very bellows are almost set on fire. Rosenmuller translates not so well from a Hebrew root, "pant" or "snort," referring to the sound of the bellows blown hard.
lead--employed to separate the baser metal from the silver, as quicksilver is now used. In other words, the utmost pains have been used to purify Israel in the furnace of affliction, but in vain (Jr 5:3; 1Pe 1:7).
consumed of the fire--In the Chetib, or Hebrew text, the "consumed" is supplied out of the previous "burned." Translating as Rosenmuller, "pant," this will be inadmissible; and the Keri (Hebrew Margin) division of the Hebrew words will have to be read, to get "is consumed of the fire." This is an argument for the translation, "are burned."
founder--the refiner.
wicked ... not plucked away--answering to the dross which has no good metal to be separated, the mass being all dross.
Jeremías 6:30
30. Reprobate--silver so full of alloy as to be utterly worthless (Is 1:22). The Jews were fit only for rejection.
