Jeremiah 5:17

German (Die Heilige Schrift (Schlachter 1951))

Es wird deine Ernte und dein Brot verzehren, deine Söhne und deine Töchter, deine Schafe und deine Rinder fressen; es wird deinen Weinstock und deinen Feigenbaum abfressen; und deine festen Städte, darauf du dich verlässest, wird es mit dem Schwerte erobern.

Was bedeutet das?

This verse from Jeremiah says that enemies will come and take away all the food and resources that the people depend on, including their crops, animals, and even their fortified cities. It's a warning from God through the prophet Jeremiah about the consequences of disobedience.

Für Kinder erklärt

Imagine if someone came and took all the food from your fridge, your piggy bank, and even your favorite toys. That's kind of what this verse is talking about, but for a whole town. It's a reminder to listen to God to avoid such bad things.

Historischer Hintergrund

Jeremiah wrote this around 626-586 B.C. to the people of Judah, warning them of the Babylonian invasion. The Israelites had turned away from God, and this verse reflects the dire consequences they would face.

Anwendung für heute

In modern times, this verse can be seen as a warning against complacency and over-reliance on material security. Just as the people in the verse lost everything they trusted in, we can also face unexpected challenges if we neglect spiritual health and moral integrity.
