Jeremía 6:19

Heilögum Biblíunni

19 Heyr það, jörð! Sjá, ég leiði ógæfu yfir þessa þjóð! Það er ávöxturinn af ráðabruggi þeirra, því að orðum mínum hafa þeir engan gaum gefið og leiðbeining minni hafa þeir hafnað.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people,.... The people of the Jews; the evil of punishment, for the evil of sin committed by them; wherefore the earth, and the inhabitants of it, are called upon to bear witness to, the righteousness of such a procedure:

even the fruit of their thoughts; which they thought of, contrived, and devised; which shows that they did not do what they did inadvertently, but with thought and design. Kimchi interprets it of sinful deeds and actions, the fruit of thoughts; but his father, of thoughts themselves. The Talmudists, y comment upon it thus,

"a thought which brings forth fruit, the holy blessed God joins it to an action; but a thought in which there is no fruit, the holy blessed God does not join to action;''

that is, in punishment; very wrongly. For the sense is, that God would bring upon them the calamities and distresses their thoughts and the evil counsels of their minds deserved. The Targum renders it,

"the retribution or reward of their works.''

Because they have not hearkened unto my words; spoken to them by the prophets:

nor to my law, but rejected it; neither hearkened to the law, nor to the prophets, but despised both. The Targum is,

"because they obeyed not the words of my servants, the prophets, and abhorred my law.''

y T. Bab. Kiddushin, fol. 40. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The fathers understood this to be the decree rejecting the Jews from being the Church.
