Jeremías 22:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 22:2

And say, hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah
O Jehoiakim king of Judah, hear the word of the King of kings; listen to it, and obey it, as kings ought to do; and it is for their good, as well as it is their duty, so to do: that sittest upon the throne of David;
whom he mentions, to put him in mind of his illustrious ancestor, whose successor he was, that he might be prompted to follow his example: thou, and thy servants, and that people that enter in by these gates;
the king and his courtiers, his nobles and privy counsellors, that were continually waiting upon him, and were frequently passing and repassing the gates of the palace; for not the gates of the court in the temple are meant, as Kimchi suggests; and all other people, that either waited on or came to the king, upon business, with their suits, and to have their causes heard and tried.

Jeremías 22:2 In-Context

1 Así dijo el SEÑOR: Desciende a la casa del rey de Judá, y habla allí esta palabra,

2 Y di: Oye palabra del SEÑOR, oh rey de Judá que estás sentado sobre el trono de David, tú, y tus criados, y tu pueblo que entran por estas puertas.

3 Así dijo el SEÑOR: Haced juicio y justicia, y librad al oprimido de mano del opresor, y no engañéis, ni robéis al extranjero, ni al huérfano, ni a la viuda, ni derraméis sangre inocente en este lugar.

4 Porque si efectivamente obedeciereis esta palabra, entrarán por las puertas de esta Casa los reyes sentados por David sobre su trono, montados en carros y en caballos, él, y sus criados, y su pueblo.

5 Mas si no oyereis estas palabras, por mí juré, dijo el SEÑOR, que esta Casa será desierta.
