Jeremiah 22:17 in Context — Jeremiah 22
15 ¿Reinarás porque te cercas de cedro? ¿no comió y bebió tu padre, é hizo juicio y justicia, y entonces le fué bien?
16 El juzgó la causa del afligido y del menesteroso, y entonces estuvo bien. ¿No es esto conocerme á mí? dice Jehová.
17 Mas tus ojos y tu corazón no son sino á tu avaricia, y á derramar la sangre inocente, y á opresión, y á hacer agravio.
18 Por tanto así ha dicho Jehová, 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!
19 En sepultura de asno será enterrado, arrastrándole y echándole fuera de las puertas de Jerusalem.
