Jeremías 22:21 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:21

I spake unto thee in thy prosperity
Or "prosperities", or "tranquillities" ^F25; when in their greatest affluence, in the height of it; this he did, when he sent to them his servants the prophets, as the Targum, and by them exhorted, reproved, and advised them: [but] thou saidst, I will not hear;
this was the language of their hearts and actions, though not of their mouths: this [hath been] thy manner from thy youth;
from the time they came out of Egypt, and first became a church and body politic; while they were in the wilderness; or when first settled in the land of Canaan: this was the infancy of their state; and from that time it was their manner and custom to reject the word of the Lord, and turn a deaf ear to it: that thou obeyest not my voice;
in his law, and by his prophets.

Jeremías 22:21 In-Context

19 Con entierro de asno, será enterrado: arrastrado y tirado fuera de las puertas de Jerusalén.

20 Sube al Líbano y clama, y da voces en Basán; clama también desde Abarim, porque han sido destruidos todos tus amantes.

21 Te hablé en tu prosperidad, pero dijiste: "No escucharé." Esta ha sido tu costumbre desde tu juventud, que nunca has escuchado mi voz.

22 A todos tus pastores arrasará el viento, y tus amantes irán al cautiverio; entonces ciertamente serás avergonzada y humillada a causa de toda tu maldad.

23 Tú que moras en el Líbano, anidada en los cedros, ¡cómo gemirás cuando te vengan los dolores, dolor como de mujer de parto!
