SEV Biblia, Chapter 34:22
He aquí, que yo mando, dijo el SEÑOR, y los haré volver a esta ciudad, y pelearán contra ella, y la tomarán, y la abrasarán a fuego; y daré las ciudades de Judá a soledad, hasta no quedar morador.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 34:22
Verse 22. I will-cause them to return] They did return; re- invested the city; and, after an obstinate defense, took it, plundered it, and burned it to the ground, taking Zedekiah and his princes captive.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Zedekiah's death at Babylon foretold. (Jer. 34:1-7) The Jews reprove for compelling their poor brethren to return to unlawful bondage. (Jer 34:8-22) Jer. 34:1-7 Zedekiah is told that the city shall be taken, and that he shall die a captive, but he shall die a natural death. It is better to live and die penitent in a prison, than to live and die impenitent in palace.
Jer. 34:8-22 A Jew should not be held in servitude above seven years This law they and their fathers had broken. And when there was some hope that the siege was raised, they forced the servants they ha released into their services again. Those who think to cheat God be dissembled repentance and partial reformation, put the greatest chea upon their own souls. This shows that liberty to sin, is really onl liberty to have the sorest judgments. It is just with God to disappoin expectations of mercy, when we disappoint the expectations of duty. An when reformation springs only from terror, it is seldom lasting. Solem vows thus entered into, profane the ordinances of God; and the mos forward to bind themselves by appeals to God, are commonly most read to break them. Let us look to our hearts, that our repentance may be real, and take care that the law of God regulates our conduct __________________________________________________________________
