Jeremiah 22:16 in Context — Jeremiah 22
14 Que diz: Edificarei para mim uma casa ampla, com cômodos arejados; e lhe abre janelas, e a cobre de cedro, e a pinta de vermelho.
15 Por acaso é acumulando cedro que serás rei? Por acaso teu pai não comeu e bebeu, e fez juízo e justiça, [e] então teve o bem?
16 Ele julgou a causa do aflito e do necessitado, e então esteve bem. Por acaso conhecer a mim não é isto?diz o SENHOR.
17 Mas teus olhos e teu coração não são [para outra coisa] , a não ser para tua ganância, para derramar sangue inocente, e para praticar opressão e violência.
18 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR quanto a Jeoaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá: Não lamentarão por ele, dizendo: Ai meu irmão!, ou Ai minha irmã!, Nem lamentarão por ele, dizendo: Ai senhor! Ai sua majestade!
