Jeremías 44:23 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 44:23

And because ye have burnt incense
Not to Jehovah, but to the queen of heaven; which they owned they did, and determined they would; asserting it was better with them when they did it than when they omitted it; for which reason the prophet particularly mentions it, and assigns it as the cause of the present ruin and destruction of their land, city, and temple: and because ye have sinned against the Lord;
by worshipping idols; all sin is against the Lord, but especially idolatry: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord;
by his prophets, who cautioned them against idolatry, reproved them for it, and told them what would be the consequence of it; but this they hearkened not unto, which was an aggravation of their sin: nor walked in his law;
the moral law, according to it; which is a rule of walk and conversation: nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies;
as not in the moral law, so neither in the ceremonial law, and the rites of that; nor in the judicial law, and the testifications of the will of God in either of them: therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day:
that is, the desolation on their land, as in ( Jeremiah 44:23 ) ; (See Gill on Jeremiah 44:23).

Jeremías 44:23 In-Context

21 —¿Piensan ustedes que el SEÑOR no se acuerda, o no se daba cuenta de que ustedes y sus antepasados, sus reyes y sus funcionarios, y todo el pueblo, ofrecían incienso en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalén?
22 Cuando el SEÑOR ya no pudo soportar más las malas acciones y las cosas abominables que ustedes hacían, su país se convirtió en objeto de maldición, en un lugar desértico, desolado y sin habitantes, tal como está hoy.
23 Ustedes ofrecieron incienso y pecaron contra el SEÑOR, y no obedecieron su voz ni cumplieron con su ley, sus preceptos y estipulaciones. Por eso en este día les ha sobrevenido esta desgracia.
24 Jeremías le dijo a todo el pueblo, incluyendo a las mujeres:—Escuchen la palabra del SEÑOR todos ustedes, gente de Judá que vive en Egipto:
25 Así dice el SEÑOR Todopoderoso, el Dios de Israel: “Cuando ustedes y sus mujeres dicen: ‘Ciertamente cumpliremos nuestros votos de ofrecer incienso y libaciones a la Reina del Cielo’, demuestran con sus acciones que cumplen lo que prometen. ¡Está bien, vayan y cumplan sus promesas, lleven a cabo sus votos!
