Jeremias 22:16 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:16

He judged the cause of the poor and needy
Who could not defend themselves against the rich and the mighty; he took their cause in hand, and, having heard it, determined it in their favour, and did them justice, as princes and civil magistrates ought to do: then [it was] well [with him];
this is repeated, not only to show the certainty of it, but that it might be observed, and his example followed: [was] not this to know me? saith the Lord;
it is not by words only, but by deeds, that men show that they know the Lord; for some in words profess to know him, who in works deny him; when princes do the duty of their office, they thereby declare that they know and own the Lord, by, and under whom, they reign; that they have the fear of him before their eyes; this is a practical knowledge of him, and is well pleasing to him. The Targum is,

``is not this the knowledge with which I am well pleased? saith the Lord.''

Jeremias 22:16 In-Context

14 Ele diz: ‘Construirei para mim um grande palácio,com aposentos espaçosos’.Faz amplas janelas,reveste o palácio de cedroe pinta-o de vermelho.
15 “VocĂȘ acha que acumular cedrofaz de vocĂȘ um rei?O seu pai nĂŁo teve comida e bebida?Ele fez o que era justo e certo,e tudo ia bem com ele.
16 Ele defendeu a causa do pobre e do necessitado,e, assim, tudo corria bem.NĂŁo Ă© isso que significa conhecer-me?”,declara o SENHOR.
17 “Mas vocĂȘ nĂŁo vĂȘ nem pensanoutra coisa alĂ©m de lucro desonesto,derramar sangue inocente,opressĂŁo e extorsĂŁo”.
18 Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR a respeito de Jeoaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá:“Não se lamentarão por ele, clamando:‘Ah, meu irmão!’ ou‘Ah, minha irmã!’Nem se lamentarão, clamando:‘Ah, meu senhor!’ ou‘Ah, sua majestade!’
