Echo

Later text

Jeremiah 24:9BSB

I will make them a horror and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing wherever I have banished them.

Earlier text

2 Chronicles 7:20BSB

then I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.

Significance

God's warning in 2 Chronicles 7:20 that the forsaken temple and people will become "an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples" (לְמָשָׁל וְלִשְׁנִינָה, lemashal velishninah) echoes Jeremiah 24:9's prophetic enactment: God declares that Zedekiah and the remaining Judahites will become "a disgrace and an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing" (לְחֶרְפָּה וּלְמָשָׁל לִשְׁנִינָה וְלִקְלָלָה, lecherpah ulemashal lishninah veliqlalah) wherever He banishes them. The verbal overlap demonstrates that what Solomon's temple dedication anticipated as potential judgment, Jeremiah announces as imminent reality. The Chronicler's audience stands between these poles—having experienced Jeremiah's fulfillment and now seeking the restoration that 2 Chronicles 7:14 promises.

Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — the conditional threat of Solomon's temple dedication (לְמָשָׁל וְלִשְׁנִינָה, "an object of scorn and ridicule," 2 Chr 7:20) progresses to announced enactment in Jeremiah 24:9, where Zedekiah's remnant is made "a disgrace and an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing" in every place of banishment; what the covenant held as potential judgment, redemptive history now delivers at the exile.
