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 por el muerto ni hagáis duelo por él, llorad amargamente por el que se va, porque jamás volverá ni verá su tierra natal.

11 Porque así dice el SEÑOR acerca de Salum , hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, que reinó en lugar de su padre Josías, y que salió de este lugar: Nunca más volverá aquí;

12 sino que en el lugar adonde lo llevaron cautivo, allí morirá, y no verá más esta tierra.

13 Ay del que edifica su casa sin justicia y sus aposentos altos sin derecho, que a su prójimo hace trabajar de balde y no le da su salario.

14 El que dice: "Me edificaré una casa espaciosa con amplios aposentos altos"; y le abre ventanas, la recubre de cedro y la pinta de rojo.
