German Elber 1905 (Darby Unrevidierte Elberfelder)
Was willst du sagen, wenn er die zum Haupte über dich bestellt, welche du als Vertraute an dich gewöhnt hast? Werden nicht Wehen dich ergreifen, einer Gebärenden gleich?
Was bedeutet das?
This verse, from Jeremiah, is a warning from God to the people of Judah. It's asking what they will say when they are punished for their actions. The verse suggests that their punishments will be like a woman in labor, very painful and inevitable.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine you're playing a game, and you tell your friends to be the leaders even though they don't know the rules. When you lose because of this, you'll feel sad and sorry. That's what this verse is saying, but for grown-ups and their actions.
Historischer Hintergrund
Jeremiah wrote this during the time of the Babylonian invasion. He was warning the people of Judah about the consequences of their actions, which included choosing leaders who didn't follow God's ways.
Anwendung für heute
In modern times, this verse can apply to situations where we choose leaders or friends who lead us astray. It reminds us that we will face the consequences of our choices, much like a person who faces the pain of labor.
