2 Reyes 22:17

Listen to 2 Reyes 22:17
17 "Por cuanto me han abandonado y han quemado incienso a otros dioses para provocarme a ira con toda la obra de sus manos, por tanto mi ira arde contra este lugar y no se apagará.'""

2 Reyes 22:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 22:17

Because they have forsaken me
My worship, as the Targum; his word and ordinances:

and have burnt incense unto other gods;
to Baal, to the host of heaven, and other Heathen deities:

that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands:
their idols of wood, stone, gold, and silver, which their hands had made, to worship; than which nothing was more provoking to God:

therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not
be quenched;
the decree for the destruction of Jerusalem was gone forth, and not to be called back; the execution of it could not be stopped or hindered by cries, prayers, entreaties, or otherwise; this wrath of God was an emblem of the unquenchable fire of hell, ( Matthew 3:12 ) ( Mark 9:44 ) .

15 Y ella les dijo: Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: "Decid al hombre que os ha enviado a mí:
16 'Así dice el SEÑOR: "He aquí, voy a traer mal sobre este lugar y sobre sus habitantes, según todas las palabras del libro que ha leído el rey de Judá.
17 "Por cuanto me han abandonado y han quemado incienso a otros dioses para provocarme a ira con toda la obra de sus manos, por tanto mi ira arde contra este lugar y no se apagará.'""
18 Pero al rey de Judá que os envió a consultar al SEÑOR, así le diréis: "Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: 'En cuanto a las palabras que has oído,
19 porque se enterneció tu corazón y te humillaste delante del SEÑOR cuando oíste lo que hablé contra este lugar y contra sus habitantes, que vendrían a ser desolación y maldición, y has rasgado tus vestidos y has llorado delante de mí, ciertamente te he oído'declara el SEÑOR.
