Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 Thus saith the Lord; Go thou, and go down to the house of the king of Judah, and thou shalt speak there this word,
1 ASÍ dijo Jehová: Desciende á la casa del rey de Judá, y habla allí esta palabra,
2 and thou shalt say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, that sittest on the throne of David, thou, and thy house, and thy people, and they that go in at these gates:
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 thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
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 For if ye will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
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 But if ye will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
5 Mas si no oyereis estas palabras, por mí he jurado, dice Jehová, que esta casa será desierta.
6 For thus saith the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah; Thou art Gilead to me, [and] the head of Lebanon: [yet] surely I will make thee a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
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 and I will bring upon thee a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
7 Y señalaré contra ti disipadores, cada uno con sus armas; y cortarán tus cedros escogidos, y los echarán en el fuego.
8 And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbor, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
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 And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshiped strange gods, and served them.
9 Y dirán: Porque dejaron el pacto de Jehová su Dios, y adoraron dioses ajenos, y les sirvieron.
10 Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
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.
11 For thus saith the Lord concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, who reigns in the place of Josiah his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return thither anymore:
11 Porque así ha dicho Jehová, de Sallum hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, que reina por Josías su padre, que salió de este lugar: No volverá acá más;
12 but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
12 Antes morirá en el lugar adonde lo trasportaren, y no verá más esta tierra.
13 He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbor for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
13 ¡Ay del que edifica su casa y no en justicia, y sus salas y no en juicio, sirviéndose de su prójimo de balde, y no dándole [el salario de] su trabajo!
14 Thou hast built for thyself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
14 Que dice: Edificaré para mí casa espaciosa, y airosas salas; y le abre ventanas, y la cubre de cedro, y la pinta de bermellón.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou art provoked with thy father Ahaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for thee to execute judgment and justice.
15 ¿Reinarás porque te cercas de cedro? ¿no comió y bebió tu padre, é hizo juicio y justicia, y entonces le fué bien?
16 They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this thy not knowing me? saith the Lord.
16 El juzgó la causa del afligido y del menesteroso, y entonces estuvo bien. ¿No es esto conocerme á mí? dice Jehová.
17 Behold, thine eyes are not good, nor thy heart, but [they go] after thy covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
17 Mas tus ojos y tu corazón no son sino á tu avaricia, y á derramar la sangre inocente, y á opresión, y á hacer agravio.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
18 Por tanto así ha dicho Jehová, de Joacim hijo de Josías, rey de Judá: No lo llorarán, [diciendo]: ¡Ay hermano mío! y ¡ay hermana! ni lo lamentarán, [diciendo]: ¡Ay señor! ¡ay su grandeza!
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
19 En sepultura de asno será enterrado, arrastrándole y echándole fuera de las puertas de Jerusalem.
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and utter thy voice to Bashan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
20 Sube al Líbano, y clama, y en Basán da tu voz, y grita hacia todas partes; porque todos tus enamorados son quebrantados.
21 I spoke to thee on [occasion of] thy trespass, but thou saidst, I will not hearken. This [has been] thy way from thy youth, thou hast not hearkened to my voice.
21 Hete hablado en tus prosperidades; mas dijiste: No oiré. Este fué tu camino desde tu juventud, que nunca oiste mi voz.
22 The wind shall tend all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; for then shalt thou be ashamed and disgraced because of all thy lovers.
22 A todos tus pastores pacerá el viento, y tus enamorados irán en cautiverio: entonces te avergonzarás y te confundirás á causa de toda tu malicia.
23 O thou that dwellest in Lebanon, making thy nest in the cedars, thou shalt groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon thee.
23 Habitaste en el Líbano, hiciste tu nido en los cedros: ¡cómo gemirás cuando te vinieren dolores, dolor como de mujer que está de parto!
24 [As] I live, saith the Lord, though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck thee;
24 Vivo yo, dice Jehová, que si Conías hijo de Joacím rey de Judá fuese anillo en mi mano diestra, aun de allí te arrancaré;
25 and I will deliver thee into the hands of them that seek thy life, before whom thou art afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
25 Y te entregaré en mano de los que buscan tu alma, y en mano de aquellos cuya vista temes; sí, en mano de Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y en mano de los Caldeos.
26 And I will cast forth thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a land where thou wast not born; and there ye shall die.
26 Y hacerte he trasportar, á ti, y á tu madre que te parió, á tierra ajena en que no nacisteis; y allá moriréis.
27 But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
27 Y á la tierra á la cual levantan ellos su alma para tornar, allá no volverán.
28 Coniah is dishonored as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
28 ¿Es este hombre Conías un ídolo vil quebrado? ¿es vaso con quien nadie se deleita? ¿Por qué fueron arrojados, él y su generación, y echados á tierra que no habían conocido?
29 Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
29 ¡Tierra, tierra, tierra! oye palabra de Jehová.
30 Write ye this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Judah.
30 Así ha dicho Jehová: Escribid [que será] este hombre privado de generación, hombre á quien nada sucederá prósperamente en todos los días de su vida: porque ningún hombre de su simiente que se sentare sobre el trono de David, y que se enseñoreare sobre Judá, será jamás dichoso.

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 …
