1 Así dice el Señor: «Baja al palacio del rey de Judá y anúnciale allí este mensaje:
1 Yahweh said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
2 Escucha la palabra del Señor, rey de Judá que ocupas el trono de David, tú y tus siervos y el pueblo que entra por estas puertas.
2 ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
3 Así dice el Señor: Hagan lo correcto y juzguen con justicia. Libren de las manos del opresor a quienes les han quitado sus bienes por la fuerza. No maltraten ni hagan violencia al extranjero, al huérfano ni a la viuda. No maten a los inocentes en este lugar.
3 Yahweh says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place.
4 Si de verdad hacen esto, entrarán por las puertas de este palacio reyes que ocupen el trono de David, en carros y a caballo, cada uno con sus siervos y su pueblo.
4 For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people.
5 Pero si no escuchan estas palabras, juro por mí mismo», dice el Señor, «que este palacio quedará en ruinas.
5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says Yahweh, “that this house will become a desolation.”’”
6 Así dice el Señor acerca de la familia del rey de Judá: Para mí eres Galaad y la cumbre del Líbano, pero te dejaré desolada, con ciudades sin habitantes.
6 For Yahweh says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
7 Prepararé a tus destructores, cada uno armado para la guerra. Cortarán tus mejores cedros y los echarán al fuego.
7 I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
8 Gente de muchas naciones pasará junto a esta ciudad y cada uno preguntará a su prójimo: “¿Por qué ha hecho el Señor esto a una ciudad tan grande?”.
8 “Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this great city?’
9 Responderán: “Porque abandonaron el pacto del Señor su Dios y adoraron y sirvieron a otros dioses”.
9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’”
10 No lloren por el muerto ni entonen un lamento por él. Lloren amargamente por el que se ha ido, porque nunca volverá ni verá la tierra donde nació.
10 Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.
11 Así dice el Señor acerca de Salum, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, que sucedió a su padre y salió de este lugar: No volverá aquí.
11 For Yahweh says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.
12 Morirá en el lugar adonde lo llevaron cautivo y nunca volverá a ver esta tierra.
12 But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
13 Maldito sea quien construye su casa con injusticia y sus habitaciones haciendo lo malo, quien hace trabajar a su prójimo sin pagarle y no le da nada por su trabajo.
13 “Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
14 Dice: “Me construiré una casa espaciosa, con habitaciones grandes”. Le abre ventanas, la cubre con cedro y la pinta de rojo brillante.
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
15 ¿Eres rey porque usas más cedro que tu padre? Tu padre comía y bebía, hacía lo correcto y juzgaba con justicia, y le iba bien.
15 “Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
16 Defendía la causa del pobre y del necesitado, y le iba bien. ¿No es eso conocerme?», dice el Señor.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says Yahweh.
17 «Pero tus ojos y tu corazón solo buscan tu propia ganancia, matar al inocente y cometer violencia y crueldad.
17 But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”
18 Por eso dice el Señor acerca de Joacim, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá: No llorarán por él diciendo: “¡Ay, hermano mío!” o “¡Ay, hermana!”. No llorarán por él diciendo: “¡Ay, señor!” o “¡Ay, su gloria!”.
18 Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
19 Tratarán su cadáver como el de un asno: lo arrastrarán y lo dejarán en el suelo fuera de las puertas de Jerusalén.
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
20 Sube al Líbano y grita; levanta la voz en Basán y clama desde Abarim, porque todos tus amantes han sido destruidos.
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been destroyed.
21 Te hablé cuando te iba bien, pero dijiste: “No escucharé”. Así has sido desde tu juventud; no has prestado atención a mi voz.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice.
22 El viento devorará a todos tus pastores y tus amantes serán llevados cautivos. Entonces quedarás avergonzada y deshonrada por toda tu maldad.
22 The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
23 Tú que habitas en el Líbano y tienes tu morada entre los cedros, ¡cuánta lástima darás cuando te lleguen dolores como a una mujer que da a luz!
23 Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
24 Por mi vida», dice el Señor, «aunque Conías, hijo de Joacim, rey de Judá, fuera el anillo de mi mano derecha, aun de allí te arrancaría.
24 “As I live,” says Yahweh, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
25 Te entregaré a quienes quieren matarte, a quienes temes: a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y a los caldeos.
25 I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Te expulsaré a ti y a la madre que te dio a luz a una tierra donde no nacieron, y allí morirán.
26 I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
27 Nunca volverán a la tierra que tanto desean».
27 But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
28 ¿Es este hombre Conías una vasija rota y sin valor, una vasija que nadie quiere? ¿Por qué han sido arrojados él y sus descendientes a una tierra que no conocen?
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?
29 ¡Tierra, tierra, tierra, escucha la palabra del Señor!
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear Yahweh’s word!
30 Así dice el Señor: «Registren a este hombre como alguien sin hijos, como un hombre al que no le irá bien en toda su vida. Ninguno de sus descendientes tendrá éxito al ocupar el trono de David y volver a reinar en Judá».
30 Yahweh says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… the kingdom; Jeremiah thus declaring, "As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechoniah the son of Joachim king of Judah had been made the signet of my right hand, I would pluck him thence, and deliver him into the hand of those seeking thy life." And again: "Jechoniah is dishonoured as a useless vessel, for he has been cast into …
For Jeremiah says, "Behold, neither thine eyes nor thy heart are good; but [they are turned] to thy covetousness, and to shed innocent blood, and for injustice, and for man-slaying, that thou mayest do it." And again Isaiah saith, "Ye have taken counsel, but not of Me; and made covenants, [but] not by My Spirit." In order, therefore, that their …
