Jeremia 32:27

27 Siehe, ich bin Jehova, der Gott alles Fleisches; sollte mir irgend ein Ding unmöglich sein?

Jeremia 32:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:27

Behold, I [am] the Lord, the God of all flesh
Jehovah, the self-existent Being, that gives being to all creatures; and is particularly the God of all men, the Maker and Preserver of them, and that provides for them; who are called "flesh", to denote their weakness and corruption, how unworthy of the divine favour, and how unable to resist his will, or hinder the execution of his purposes: and which is introduced with a "behold", to excite attention, to take notice of what was said; to encourage faith, and remove doubts and difficulties; for if God is Jehovah, the Being of beings; if he is the God and Governor of the world, and all men in it, what is it he cannot do? as follows: is there anything too hard for me?
suggesting, that though the city of Jerusalem should be destroyed, and the inhabitants carried captive, yet he could return them again to their own laud; where they should purchase fields and vineyards, and possess them as heretofore: or, "is there anything hidden from me?" ^F4 so the Targum and Syriac version; can anything unforeseen arise to hinder the fulfilment of promises and prophecies? nothing can; since all things are in one view before the Lord continually; or, "is there anything too wonderful for me?" ^F5 that which is too wonderful for men, beyond their comprehension, and so their faith; yet it is not so with God.

Jeremia 32:27 In-Context

25 Und doch hast du zu mir gesprochen, Herr, Jehova: Kaufe dir das Feld für Geld und nimm Zeugen; und die Stadt ist ja in die Hand der Chaldäer gegeben!

26 Und das Wort Jehovas geschah zu Jeremia also:

27 Siehe, ich bin Jehova, der Gott alles Fleisches; sollte mir irgend ein Ding unmöglich sein?

28 Darum, so spricht Jehova: Siehe, ich gebe diese Stadt in die Hand der Chaldäer und in die Hand Nebukadrezars, des Königs von Babel, daß er sie einnehme.

29 Und die Chaldäer, die wider diese Stadt streiten, werden hineinkommen und werden diese Stadt mit Feuer anzünden und sie verbrennen, samt den Häusern, auf deren Dächern sie dem Baal geräuchert und anderen Göttern Trankopfer gespendet haben, um mich zu reizen.
