Jeremías 22:12

12 Antes morirá en el lugar adonde lo trasportaren, y no verá más esta tierra.

Jeremías 22:12 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:12

But he shall die in the place whither they have led him
captive
Even in Egypt, where Pharaohnecho and his army carried him captive, as before observed: and he shall see his land no more;
the land of Judah, where he was born, and over which he had been king: this is repeated to show the certainty of it, and what reason there was for the above lamentation; since the people might have been in hopes of the return of him, but now they are assured they had no ground for it; who, though he was not a good prince, yet perhaps not so bad as his brother Jehoiakim, who succeeded him; who appears, by what follows, to have been a very unjust, tyrannical, and oppressive prince; and therefore there was great occasion for mourning on the account of Shallum, who very likely was more promising.

Jeremías 22:12 In-Context

10 No lloréis al muerto, ni de él os condolezcáis: llorad amargamente por el que va; porque no volverá jamás, ni verá la tierra donde nació.

11 Porque así ha dicho Jehová, de Sallum hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, que reina por Josías su padre, que salió de este lugar: No volverá acá más;

12 Antes morirá en el lugar adonde lo trasportaren, y no verá más esta tierra.

13 ¡Ay del que edifica su casa y no en justicia, y sus salas y no en juicio, sirviéndose de su prójimo de balde, y no dándole el salario de su trabajo!

14 Que dice: Edificaré para mí casa espaciosa, y airosas salas; y le abre ventanas, y la cubre de cedro, y la pinta de bermellón.
