Jeremiah 22:3 in Context — Jeremiah 22

1 ASÍ dijo Jehová: Desciende á la casa del rey de Judá, y habla allí esta palabra,

2 Y di: Oye palabra de Jehová, 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 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 á la viuda, ni derraméis sangre inocente en este lugar.

4 Porque si efectivamente hiciereis 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.

5 Mas si no oyereis estas palabras, por mí he jurado, dice Jehová, que esta casa será desierta.
