Jeremiah 22:5 in Context — Jeremiah 22

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.

6 Porque así ha dicho Jehová sobre la casa del rey de Judá: Galaad eres tú para mí, [y] cabeza del Líbano: [empero] de cierto te pondré en soledad, [y] ciudades deshabitadas.

7 Y señalaré contra ti disipadores, cada uno con sus armas; y cortarán tus cedros escogidos, y los echarán en el fuego.
