Jeremias 22:17 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:17

But thine eyes and thine heart [are] not but for thy
covetousness
He was wholly intent upon gratifying that lust; his heart was meditating, contriving, and forming schemes for that purpose; and his eyes were looking out here and there for proper objects and opportunities to exercise it: and for to shed innocent blood;
in order to get their money, goods, and possessions into his hands; avarice often leads to murder: and for oppression, and for violence, to do [it];
by making incursions, and seizing upon the properties of men, and converting them to his own use; so true it is, that covetousness, or the love of money, is the root of all evil, ( 1 Timothy 6:10 ) .

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!’
19 Ele terå o enterro de um jumento:arrastado e lançadofora das portas de Jerusalém!
