Jeremías 22:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:2

And say, hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah
O Jehoiakim king of Judah, hear the word of the King of kings; listen to it, and obey it, as kings ought to do; and it is for their good, as well as it is their duty, so to do: that sittest upon the throne of David;
whom he mentions, to put him in mind of his illustrious ancestor, whose successor he was, that he might be prompted to follow his example: thou, and thy servants, and that people that enter in by these gates;
the king and his courtiers, his nobles and privy counsellors, that were continually waiting upon him, and were frequently passing and repassing the gates of the palace; for not the gates of the court in the temple are meant, as Kimchi suggests; and all other people, that either waited on or came to the king, upon business, with their suits, and to have their causes heard and tried.

Jeremías 22:2 In-Context

1 Así dice el SEÑOR: Desciende a la casa del rey de Judá y habla allí esta palabra,
2 y di: "Escucha la palabra del SEÑOR, oh rey de Judá, que te sientas sobre el trono de David, tú, tus siervos y tu pueblo, los que entran por estas puertas.
3 "Así dice el SEÑOR: 'Practicad el derecho y la justicia, y librad al despojado de manos de su opresor. Tampoco maltratéis ni hagáis violencia al extranjero, al huérfano o a la viuda, ni derraméis sangre inocente en este lugar.
4 'Porque si en verdad observáis este mandato, entonces entrarán reyes por las puertas de esta casa, y se sentarán en el lugar de David, en su trono; entrarán montados en carros y caballos, el rey, sus siervos y su pueblo.
5 'Pero si no obedecéis estas palabras, juro por mí mismo'declara el SEÑOR"que esta casa vendrá a ser una desolación.'"
