Jeremías 32:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:22

And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to
their fathers to give them
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; so that God was faithful to his word, kept his covenant and oath; and the faithfulness of God is observed and acknowledged by the prophet, along with other perfections of God before taken notice of. The land of Canaan was a land of promise, confirmed by an oath, and was the pure gift of God to the Israelites, and not any merit of theirs; it was given them by him who had a right to dispose of it, and could make them a good title to it, and which they had; though before in the possession of others, who for their wickedness were driven out: a land flowing with milk and honey:
abounding with plenty of all good things, for the sustenance and comfort of human life; a very frequent description of the land of Canaan, and is expressive of the great kindness and goodness of God to this people.

Jeremías 32:22 In-Context

20 TĂş hiciste milagros y prodigios en la tierra de Egipto, y hasta el dĂ­a de hoy los sigues haciendo, tanto en Israel como en todo el mundo; asĂ­ te has conquistado la fama que hoy tienes.
21 TĂş, con gran despliegue de poder, y con milagros, prodigios y gran terror, sacaste de Egipto a tu pueblo.
22 Le diste a Israel esta tierra, donde abundan la leche y la miel, tal como se lo habĂ­as jurado a sus antepasados.
23 Pero cuando entraron y tomaron posesiĂłn de ella, no te obedecieron ni acataron tu ley, ni tampoco hicieron lo que les habĂ­as ordenado. Por eso les enviaste toda esta desgracia.
24 Ahora las rampas de ataque han llegado hasta la ciudad para conquistarla. A causa de la espada, el hambre y la pestilencia, la ciudad caerá en manos de los babilonios que la atacan. SEÑOR, todo lo que habías anunciado se está cumpliendo, y tú mismo lo estás viendo.
