Et audivit de Tharaca rege thiopi, dicentes : Egressus est ut pugnet contra te. Quod cum audisset, misit nuntios ad Ezechiam, dicens :
Haec dicit Dominus: Nolite decipere animas vestras dicentes: "Euntes abibunt et recedent a nobis Chaldaei", quia non abibunt.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Deceive: Obadiah 1:3, Matthew 24:4, Matthew 24:5, Galatians 6:3, Galatians 6:7, Ephesians 5:6, 2 Thessalonians 2:3, James 1:22
yourselves: Heb. your souls
Reciprocal: Jeremiah 33:5 - come Ezekiel 14:7 - and cometh 1 Corinthians 3:18 - deceive
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus saith the Lord, deceive not yourselves,.... Or, "your souls"; with a false opinion, a vain persuasion and belief of the departure of the Chaldeans never to return; which they would have confirmed by the Lord; or, "lift not up your souls" b; with vain hopes of the above things: self or soul deception is a dreadful thing; and sad is the disappointment when men are elated with a false and vain hope:
saying, the Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; they had departed from Jerusalem; but they were persuaded they would depart out of the land of Judea, and go into their own land, the land of Babylon, from whence they came, and never return more:
for they shall not depart; out of the land of Judea, into their own land; at least not till they had done the work they were sent about.
b אל תשאו נפשתיכם "ne efferatis animas vestras", Tigurine version, Calvin; "ne tollatis (in spem) animas vestras", Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jeremiah’s answer here is even more unfavorable than that which is given in Jeremiah 21:4-7. So hopeless is resistance that the disabled men among the Chaldaeans would alone suffice to capture the city and burn it to the ground.
