EXHORTATION TO REPENTANCE; JUDGMENT ON SHALLUM, JEHOIAKIM, AND CONIAH. (Jer. 22:1-30) Go down--The temple (where Jeremiah had been prophesying) was higher than the king's palace on Mount Zion (Jer 36:10, Jer 36:12; Ch…
1Así dijo Jehová: Desciende a la casa del rey de Judá, y habla allí esta palabra,
2y di: Oye palabra de Jehová, oh rey de Judá que estás sentado sobre el trono de David, tú, y tus siervos, y tu pueblo que entra por estas puertas.
3Así ha dicho Jehová: 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.
4Porque si efectivamente obedeciereis esta palabra, los reyes que en lugar de David se sientan sobre su trono, entrarán montados en carros y en caballos por las puertas de esta casa; ellos, y sus criados y su pueblo.
5Mas si no oyereis estas palabras, por mí mismo he jurado, dice Jehová, que esta casa será desierta.
6Porque así ha dicho Jehová acerca de la casa del rey de Judá: Como Galaad eres tú para mí, y como la cima del Líbano; sin embargo, te convertiré en soledad, y como ciudades deshabitadas.
7Prepararé contra ti destruidores, cada uno con sus armas, y cortarán tus cedros escogidos y los echarán en el fuego.
8Y muchas gentes pasarán junto a esta ciudad, y dirán cada uno a su compañero: ¿Por qué hizo así Jehová con esta gran ciudad?
9Y se les responderá: Porque dejaron el pacto de Jehová su Dios, y adoraron dioses ajenos y les sirvieron.
10No lloréis al muerto, ni de él os condoláis; llorad amargamente por el que se va, porque no volverá jamás, ni verá la tierra donde nació.
11Porque así ha dicho Jehová acerca de Salum hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, el cual reinó en lugar de Josías su padre, y que salió de este lugar: No volverá más aquí,
12sino que morirá en el lugar adonde lo llevaron cautivo, y no verá más esta tierra.
13¡Ay del que edifica su casa sin justicia, y sus salas sin equidad, sirviéndose de su prójimo de balde, y no dándole el salario de su trabajo!
14Que dice: Edificaré para mí casa espaciosa, y salas airosas; y le abre ventanas, y la cubre de cedro, y la pinta de bermellón.
15¿Reinarás, porque te rodeas de cedro? ¿No comió y bebió tu padre, e hizo juicio y justicia, y entonces le fue bien?
16Él juzgó la causa del afligido y del menesteroso, y entonces estuvo bien. ¿No es esto conocerme a mí? dice Jehová.
17Mas tus ojos y tu corazón no son sino para tu avaricia, y para derramar sangre inocente, y para opresión y para hacer agravio.
18Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová acerca de Joacim hijo de Josías, rey de Judá: No lo llorarán, diciendo: ¡Ay, hermano mío! y ¡Ay, hermana! ni lo lamentarán, diciendo: ¡Ay, señor! ¡Ay, su grandeza!
19En sepultura de asno será enterrado, arrastrándole y echándole fuera de las puertas de Jerusalén.
20Sube al Líbano y clama, y en Basán da tu voz, y grita hacia todas partes; porque todos tus enamorados son destruidos.
21Te he hablado en tus prosperidades, mas dijiste: No oiré. Este fue tu camino desde tu juventud, que nunca oíste mi voz.
22A todos tus pastores pastoreará el viento, y tus enamorados irán en cautiverio; entonces te avergonzarás y te confundirás a causa de toda tu maldad.
23Habitaste en el Líbano, hiciste tu nido en los cedros. ¡Cómo gemirás cuando te vinieren dolores, dolor como de mujer que está de parto!
24Vivo yo, dice Jehová, que si Conías hijo de Joacim rey de Judá fuera anillo en mi mano derecha, aun de allí te arrancaría.
25Te entregaré en mano de los que buscan tu vida, y en mano de aquellos cuya vista temes; sí, en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y en mano de los caldeos.
26Te haré llevar cautivo a ti y a tu madre que te dio a luz, a tierra ajena en que no nacisteis; y allá moriréis.
27Y a la tierra a la cual ellos con toda el alma anhelan volver, allá no volverán.
28¿Es este hombre Conías una vasija despreciada y quebrada? ¿Es un trasto que nadie estima? ¿Por qué fueron arrojados él y su generación, y echados a tierra que no habían conocido?
29¡Tierra, tierra, tierra!, oye palabra de Jehová.
30Así ha dicho Jehová: Escribid lo que sucederá a este hombre privado de descendencia, hombre a quien nada próspero sucederá en todos los días de su vida; porque ninguno de su descendencia logrará sentarse sobre el trono de David, ni reinar sobre Judá.

Jehoiakim is meant here especially: he, by oppression, levied the tribute imposed on him by Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt (Ch2 36:3), and taxed his people, and took their labor without pay, to build gorgeous palaces for himself (Jer 22:13-17), and shed innocent blood, for example, that of Urijah the prophet (Jer 26:20-24; Kg2 23:35; Kg2 24:4).

Though thou art as beautiful as Gilead, and as majestic in Mine eyes (before Me) as the summit of Lebanon, yet surely (the Hebrew is a formula of swearing to express certainly: "If I do not make thee . . . believe Me not ever hereafter": so "as truly as I live," Num 14:28; "surely," Num 14:35). The mention of Gilead may allude not only to its past beauty, but covertly also to its desolation by the judgment on Israel; a warning now to Judah and the house of "David." "Lebanon" is appropriately mentioned, as the king's house was built of its noble cedars.

Weep . . . not for--that is, not so much for Josiah, who was taken away by death from the evil to come (Kg2 22:20; Isa 57:1); as for Shallum or Jehoahaz, his son (Kg2 23:30), who, after a three months' reign, was carried off by Pharaoh-necho into Egypt, never to see his native land again (Kg2 23:31-34). Dying saints are justly to be envied, while living sinners are to be pitied. The allusion is to the great weeping of the people at the death of Josiah, and on each anniversary of it, in which Jeremiah himself took a prominent part (Ch2 35:24-25). The name "Shallum" is here given in irony to Jehoahaz, who reigned but three months; as if he were a second Shallum, son of Jabesh, who reigned only one month in Samaria (Kg2 15:13; Ch2 36:1-4). Shallum means "retribution," a name of no good omen to him [GROTIUS]; originally the people called him Shallom, indicative of peace and prosperity. But Jeremiah applies it in irony. Ch1 3:15, calls Shallum the fourth son of Josiah. The people raised him to the throne before his brother Eliakim or Jehoiakim, though the latter was the older (Kg2 23:31, Kg2 23:36; Ch2 36:1); perhaps on account of Jehoiakim's extravagance (Jer 22:13, Jer 22:15). Jehoiakim was put in Shallum's (Jehoahaz') stead by Pharaoh-necho. Jeconiah, his son, succeeded. Zedekiah (Mattaniah), uncle of Jeconiah, and brother of Jehoiakim and Jehoahaz, was last of all raised to the throne by Nebuchadnezzar.
He shall not return--The people perhaps entertained hopes of Shallum's return from Egypt, in which case they would replace him on the throne, and thereby free themselves from the oppressive taxes imposed by Jehoiakim.

Not only did Jehoiakim tax the people (Kg2 23:35) for Pharaoh's tribute, but also took their forced labor, without pay, for building a splendid palace; in violation of Lev 19:13; Deu 24:14-15. Compare Mic 3:10; Hab 2:9; Jam 5:4. God will repay in justice those who will not in justice pay those whom they employ.

wide--literally, "a house of dimensions" ("measures"). Compare Num 13:32, Margin, "men of statures."
large--rather, as Margin, "airy" from Hebrew root, "to breathe freely." Upper rooms in the East are the principal apartments.
cutteth him out windows--The Hebrew, if a noun, is rather, "my windows"; then the translation ought to be, "and let my windows (Jehoiakim speaking) be cut out for it," that is, in the house; or, "and let (the workman) cut out my windows for it." But the word is rather an adjective; "he cutteth it (the house) out for himself, so as to be full of windows." The following words accord with this construction, "and (he makes it) ceiled with cedar," &c. [MAURER]. Retaining English Version, there must be understood something remarkable about the windows, since they are deemed worthy of notice. GESENIUS thinks thinks the word dual, "double windows," the blinds being two-leaved.
vermilion--Hebrew, shashar, called so from a people of India beyond the Ganges, by whom it is exported [PLINY, 6.19]. The old vermilion was composed of sulphur and quicksilver; not of red lead, as our vermilion.

closest thyself--rather, "thou viest," that is, art emulous to surpass thy forefathers in the magnificence of thy palaces.
eat and drink--Did not Josiah, thy father, enjoy all that man really needs for his bodily wants? Did he need to build costly palaces to secure his throne? Nay, he did secure it by "judgment and justice"; whereas thou, with all thy luxurious building, sittest on a tottering throne.

Ah my brother! . . . sister!--addressing him with such titles of affection as one would address to a deceased friend beloved as a brother or sister (compare Kg1 13:30). This expresses, They shall not lament him with the lamentation of private individuals [VATABLUS], or of blood relatives [GROTIUS]: as "Ah! lord," expresses public lamentation in the case of a king [VATABLUS], or that of subjects [GROTIUS]. HENDERSON thinks, "Ah! sister," refers to Jehoiakim's queen, who, though taken to Babylon and not left unburied on the way, as Jehoiakim, yet was not honored at her death with royal lamentations, such as would have been poured forth over her at Jerusalem. He notices the beauty of Jeremiah's manner in his prophecy against Jehoiakim. In Jer 22:13-14 he describes him in general terms; then, in Jer 22:15-17, he directly addresses him without naming him; at last, in Jer 22:18, he names him, but in the third person, to imply that God puts him to a distance from Him. The boldness of the Hebrew prophets proves their divine mission; were it not so, their reproofs to the Hebrew kings, who held the throne by divine authority, would have been treason.
Ah his glory!--"Alas! his majesty."

burial of an ass--that is, he shall have the same burial as an ass would get, namely, he shall be left a prey for beasts and birds [JEROME]. This is not formally narrated. But Ch2 36:6 states that "Nebuchadnezzar bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon"; his treatment there is nowhere mentioned. The prophecy here, and in Jer 36:30, harmonizes these two facts. He was slain by Nebuchadnezzar, who changed his purpose of taking him to Babylon, on the way thither, and left him unburied outside Jerusalem. Kg2 24:6, "Jehoiakim slept with his fathers," does not contradict this; it simply expresses his being gathered to his fathers by death, not his being buried with his fathers (Psa 49:19). The two phrases are found together, as expressing two distinct ideas (Kg2 15:38; Kg2 16:20).

Delivered in the reign of Jehoiachin (Jeconiah or Coniah), son of Jehoiakim; appended to the previous prophecy respecting Jehoiakim, on account of the similarity of the two prophecies. He calls on Jerusalem, personified as a mourning female, to go up to the highest points visible from Jerusalem, and lament there (see on Jer 3:21) the calamity of herself, bereft of allies and of her princes, who are one after the other being cast down.
Bashan--north of the region beyond Jordan; the mountains of Anti-libanus are referred to (Psa 68:15).
from the passages--namely, of the rivers (Jdg 12:6); or else the borders of the country (Sa1 13:23; Isa 10:29). The passes (Sa1 14:4). MAURER translates, "Abarim," a mountainous tract beyond Jordan, opposite Jericho, and south of Bashan; this accords with the mention of the mountains Lebanon and Bashan (Num 27:12; Num 33:47).
lovers--the allies of Judea, especially Egypt, now unable to help the Jews, being crippled by Babylon (Kg2 24:7).

Versículo 21
18. I admonished thee in time. Thy sin has not been a sin of ignorance or thoughtlessness, but wilful.
I admonished thee in time. Thy sin has not been a sin of ignorance or thoughtlessness, but wilful.
prosperity--given thee by Me; yet thou wouldest not hearken to the gracious Giver. The Hebrew is plural, to express, "In the height of thy prosperity"; so "droughts" (Isa 58:11).
thou saidst--not in words, but in thy conduct, virtually.
thy youth--from the time that I brought thee out of Egypt, and formed thee into a people (Jer 7:25; Jer 2:2; Isa 47:12).

wind--the Chaldees, as a parching wind that sweeps over rapidly and withers vegetation (Jer 4:11-12; Psa 103:16; Isa 40:7).
eat up . . . pastors--that is, thy kings (Jer 2:8). There is a happy play on words. The pastors, whose office it is to feed the sheep, shall themselves be fed on. They who should drive the flock from place to place for pasture shall be driven into exile by the Chaldees.
20

inhabitant of Lebanon--namely, Jerusalem, whose temple, palaces, and principal habitations were built of cedars of Lebanon.
how gracious--irony. How graciously thou wilt be treated by the Chaldees, when they come on thee suddenly, as pangs on a woman in travail (Jer 6:24)! Nay, all thy fine buildings will win no favor for thee from them. MAURER translates, "How shalt thou be to be pitied!"

As I live--God's most solemn formula of oath (Jer 46:18; Jer 4:2; Deu 32:40; Sa1 25:34).
Coniah--Jeconiah or Jehoiachin. The contraction of the name is meant in contempt.
signet--Such ring seals were often of the greatest value (Sol 8:6; Hag 2:23). Jehoiachin's popularity is probably here referred to.
right hand--the hand most valued.
I would pluck thee thence--(Compare Oba 1:4); on account of thy father's sins, as well as thine own (Ch2 36:9). There is a change here, as often in Hebrew poetry, from the third to the second person, to bring the threat more directly home to him. After a three months' and ten days' reign, the Chaldees deposed him. In Babylon, however, by God's favor he was ultimately treated more kindly than other royal captives (Jer 52:31-34). But none of his direct posterity ever came to the throne.

they--Coniah and his mother. He passes from the second person (Jer 22:26) to the third person here, to express alienation. The king is as it were put out of sight, as if unworthy of being spoken with directly.
desire--literally, "lift up their soul" (Jer 44:14; Psa 24:4; Psa 25:1). Judea was the land which they in Babylon should pine after in vain.

O earth! earth! earth!--Jeconiah was not actually without offspring (compare Jer 22:28, "his seed"; Ch1 3:17-18; Mat 1:12), but he was to be "written childless," as a warning to posterity, that is, without a lineal heir to his throne. It is with a reference to the three kings, Shallum, Jehoiakim, and Jeconiah, that the earth is thrice invoked [BENGEL]. Or, the triple invocation is to give intensity to the call for attention to the announcement of the end of the royal line, so far as Jehoiachin's seed is concerned. Though Messiah (Mat. 1:1-17), the heir of David's throne, was lineally descended from Jeconiah, it was only through Joseph, who, though His legal, was not His real father. Matthew gives the legal pedigree through Solomon down to Joseph; Luke the real pedigree, from Mary, the real parent, through Nathan, brother of Solomon, upwards (Luk 3:31).
no man of his seed . . . upon the throne--This explains the sense in which "childless" is used. Though the succession to the throne failed in his line, still the promise to David (Psa 89:30-37) was revived in Zerubbabel and consummated in Christ.
This forms the epilogue to the denunciations of the four kings, in Jer. 21:1-22:30.
