Jeremías 22:21

21 Hablé a ti en tus prosperidades; mas dijiste: No oiré. Este fue tu camino desde tu juventud, que nunca oíste mi voz

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 En sepultura de asno será enterrado, arrastrándole y echándole fuera de las puertas de Jerusalén

20 Sube al Líbano, y clama, y en Basán da tu voz, y grita hacia todas partes; porque todos tus enamorados son quebrantados

21 Hablé a ti en tus prosperidades; mas dijiste: No oiré. Este fue tu camino desde tu juventud, que nunca oíste mi voz

22 A todos tus pastores pacerá el viento, y tus enamorados irán en cautiverio; entonces te avergonzarás y te confundirás a causa de toda tu malicia

23 Habitaste en el Líbano, hiciste tu nido en los cedros, ¡cómo gemirás cuando te vinieren dolores, dolor como de mujer que está de parto
