Jeremias 22:12

12 mas no lugar para onde o levaram cativo morrerá, e nunca mais verá esta terra.

Jeremias 22:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:12

But he shall die in the place whither they have led him
captive
Even in Egypt, where Pharaohnecho and his army carried him captive, as before observed: and he shall see his land no more;
the land of Judah, where he was born, and over which he had been king: this is repeated to show the certainty of it, and what reason there was for the above lamentation; since the people might have been in hopes of the return of him, but now they are assured they had no ground for it; who, though he was not a good prince, yet perhaps not so bad as his brother Jehoiakim, who succeeded him; who appears, by what follows, to have been a very unjust, tyrannical, and oppressive prince; and therefore there was great occasion for mourning on the account of Shallum, who very likely was more promising.

Jeremias 22:12 In-Context

10 Não choreis o morto, nem o lastimeis; mas chorai amargamente aquele que sai; porque não voltará mais, nem verá a terra onde nasceu.

11 Pois assim diz o Senhor acerca de Salum, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, que reinou em lugar de Josias seu pai, que saiu deste lugar: Nunca mais voltará para cá,

12 mas no lugar para onde o levaram cativo morrerá, e nunca mais verá esta terra.

13 Ai daquele que edifica a sua casa com iniqüidade, e os seus aposentos com injustiça; que se serve do trabalho do seu próximo sem remunerá-lo, e não lhe dá o salário;

14 que diz: Edificarei para mim uma casa espaçosa, e aposentos largos; e que lhe abre janelas, forrando-a de cedro, e pintando-a de vermelhão.
