Jeremiah 22:8 in Context — Jeremiah 22

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.

8 Y muchas gentes pasarán junto á esta ciudad, y dirán cada uno á su compañero: ¿Por qué lo hizo así Jehová con esta grande ciudad?

9 Y dirán: Porque dejaron el pacto de Jehová su Dios, y adoraron dioses ajenos, y les sirvieron.

10 No lloréis al muerto, ni de él os condolezcáis: llorad amargamente por el que va; porque no volverá jamás, ni verá la tierra donde nació.
