Jeremiah 22:12

12 sed in loco ad quem transtuli eum ibi morietur et terram istam non videbit amplius

Jeremiah 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.

Jeremiah 22:12 In-Context

10 nolite flere mortuum neque lugeatis super eum fletu plangite eum qui egreditur quia non revertetur ultra nec videbit terram nativitatis suae

11 quia haec dicit Dominus ad Sellum filium Iosiae regem Iuda qui regnavit pro Iosia patre suo qui egressus est de loco isto non revertetur huc amplius

12 sed in loco ad quem transtuli eum ibi morietur et terram istam non videbit amplius

13 vae qui aedificat domum suam in iniustitia et cenacula sua non in iudicio amicum suum opprimet frustra et mercedem eius non reddet ei

14 qui dicit aedificabo mihi domum latam et cenacula spatiosa qui aperit sibi fenestras et facit laquearia cedrina pingitque sinopide
