Context — A Warning to Judah’s Kings
3This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.
4For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses—they and their officials and their people.
5But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.’”
6For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are like Gilead to Me, like the summit of Lebanon; but I will surely turn you into a desert, like cities that are uninhabited. 7I will appoint destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars and throw them into the fire.Cross References

Jeremiah 22:5 Summary
This verse, Jeremiah 22:5, is a warning from God that if we do not obey His words, there will be serious consequences. God is saying that if we do not listen to Him, the things that are important to us will be destroyed, like a house becoming a pile of rubble. This reminds us of the importance of obedience, as seen in Luke 6:46-49, where Jesus teaches that those who obey His words will be like a house built on a rock. By obeying God's commands, we can avoid the consequences of disobedience and experience the blessings promised in Jeremiah 22:4, just like the kings who sit on David's throne.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if we do not obey God's words?
According to Jeremiah 22:5, if we do not obey God's words, He swears by Himself that the house will become a pile of rubble, emphasizing the importance of obedience as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-2 and Matthew 5:19.
What is the significance of God swearing by Himself?
In Jeremiah 22:5, God swearing by Himself signifies the gravity and certainty of the consequence, as there is no higher authority for God to appeal to, similar to what we see in Isaiah 45:23 and Hebrews 6:13.
How does this verse relate to the previous promises in Jeremiah 22:4?
Jeremiah 22:5 serves as a warning and a contrast to the blessings promised in Jeremiah 22:4, highlighting the conditional nature of God's promises, as also seen in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Psalm 81:13-14.
What is the 'house' being referred to in this verse?
The 'house' in Jeremiah 22:5 likely refers to the royal palace or the temple, representing the center of Israel's spiritual and political life, similar to the use of 'house' in 1 Kings 9:3-5 and 2 Kings 25:9.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to obey God's words more faithfully?
- How do I prioritize the administration of justice and righteousness in my own community, as mentioned in Jeremiah 22:3?
- In what ways can I be like the kings who sit on David's throne, riding on chariots and horses, as a symbol of God's blessing in Jeremiah 22:4?
- What are some potential consequences of disobedience in my own life, and how can I learn from Jeremiah 22:5 to avoid them?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 22:5
But if ye will not hear these words,.... Will give no attention, and yield no obedience to them: I swear by myself, saith the Lord; and by a greater he cannot swear; and that is the reason why he
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 22:5
But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation. I swear by myself - (Hebrews 6:13; Hebrews 6:17).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 22:5
By hearing the prophet meaneth hearkening to and obeying. God accounteth us to hear no more than we practise. If (saith the prophet) you will not execute judgment, &c., I give you the greatest assurance imaginable that this noble house of David shall become a desolation. The apostle saith that God, because he could swear by no greater, sware by himself. The end of an oath is, the confirmation of a thing where any doubt of the truth of it, or any have strife about it. Sinners finding in themselves a difficulty to believe God upon his word, revealing his will against the interests of their lusts, the Lord is brought in as swearing, not by a greater, (that is impossible,) but by himself, that the house of David, or the house of Israel, or his own house, the temple, (though the first seems most probable to be here meant, which seemeth to be the house mentioned , through the gates of which kings should enter, riding in chariots and on horses,) should be made desolate.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 22:5
Jeremiah 22:5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.Ver. 5. That this house shall become a desolation.] This stately edifice, the place of thy royal residence. Note here the prophet’ s boldness, and learn that truth must be spoken, however it be taken.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 22:5
(5) I swear by myself.—The formula is an exceptionally rare one, but meets us in Genesis 22:16. In Deuteronomy 32:40 the came thought is embodied in the language of the loftiest poetry. The principle in both cases is that on which the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews dwells in Jeremiah 6:13. Men swear by the greater, but God can swear by nothing greater than Himself. This house.—The context determines the application of the word as meaning the king’s palace, not the Temple.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 22:5
5. I swear by myself] For comment on this as the most solemn and binding form of oath, see Hebrews 6:13-18. The form is repeated in Jeremiah 49:13, and occurs besides in Genesis 22:16; Isaiah 45:23, and a cognate expression is found Jeremiah 51:14; Amos 6:8.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 22:5
5. I swear by myself — See Hebrews 6:13; Hebrews 6:17. In this instance God is represented as swearing, as if to overcome the antecedent incredibility that the family of David should be cast off.
