Jeremiah

Chapter 22

1 THUS says the LORD: GO down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word, and say,

2 Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you and your servants and your people who enter by these gates;

3 Thus says the LORD: Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver the oppressed from the hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do no violence to the strangers, the fatherless, and the widows, nor shed innocent blood in this place.

4 For if you will do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David and princes who ride in chariots and on horses, a king and his servants and his people.

5 But if you will not listen to these words, I swear by myself, says the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

6 For thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: You are like Gilead, like the head of Lebanon; but I will surely make you a desert, like an uninhabited city.

7 And I will prepare destroyers against you, every one with his axe in his hand; and they shall cut down your choicest cedars and cast them into the fire.

8 And many people shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?

9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and worshipped other gods and served them.

10 Weep not for the dead, nor bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him that goes away; for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.

11 For thus says the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father and who went away from this country: He shall not return here any more;

12 But he shall die in the country where they have carried him captive, and shall see this land no more.

13 Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness and his upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbor work for him without wages, and does not give him his hire;

14 Who says, I will build for myself wide houses with spacious upper rooms; and cuts out windows for them and covers them with cedar and paints them with vermilion.

15 Shall you reign and rejoice by living in palaces built with cedar? Indeed, your father did eat and drink, but he also did justice and righteousness, therefore I did good to him.

16 He did justice to the cause of the poor and needy; and he did well; he who does these things, knows me, says the LORD.

17 But your eyes and your hearts are set for nothing else but for your wealth and for the shedding of innocent blood, and for oppression and for violence, to do it.

18 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah: They shall not mourn for him, nor shall they say, Ah my brother! Ah my brother! They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! Ah lord!

19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, dragged and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

20 Go up to Lebanon and cry; and lift up your voice in Mathnin and cry from the other side of the sea; for all your lovers are defeated.

21 I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not listen. This has been your way from your youth, you did not obey my voice.

22 All of your shepherds shall be smitten by the east wind, and your lovers shall go into captivity; surely then you shall be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.

23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes her nest in the cedars, how you shall groan when pangs come upon you and the pain as of a woman in travail!

24 As I live, says the LORD God, though Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, yet I would pull you off;

25 And I will deliver you into the hand of the men who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose presence you fear, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26 And I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another land, where you were not born; and there shall you die.

27 But to the land to which you hope to return, thither you shall not come back.

28 this Jecaniah is a little man and a fool, he is like a useless vessel; this is why he is carried away, he and his children, and cast into a land which he knows not.

29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD!

30 Thus says the LORD: Write this man down despised and childless, for none of his offspring shall prosper in his days, sitting upon the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah.

Jeremiah

Chapter 22

1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Go down3381 to the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah,3063 and speak1696 there8033 853 this2088 word,1697

2 And say,559 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O king4428 of Judah,3063 that sittest3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 thou,859 and thy servants,5650 and thy people5971 that enter935 in by these428 gates: 8179

3 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Execute6213 ye judgment4941 and righteousness,6666 and deliver5337 the spoiled1497 out of the hand4480 3027 of the oppressor:6216 and do no408 wrong,3238 do no408 violence2554 to the stranger,1616 the fatherless,3490 nor the widow,490 neither408 shed8210 innocent5355 blood1818 in this2088 place.4725

4 For3588 if518 ye do6213 853 this2088 thing1697 indeed,6213 then shall there enter in935 by the gates8179 of this2088 house1004 kings4428 sitting3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 riding7392 in chariots7393 and on horses,5483 he,1931 and his servants,5650 and his people.5971

5 But if518 ye will not3808 hear8085 853 these428 words,1697 I swear7650 by myself, saith5002 the LORD,3068 that3588 this2088 house1004 shall become1961 a desolation.2723

6 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 unto5921 the king's4428 house1004 of Judah;3063 Thou859 art Gilead1568 unto me, and the head7218 of Lebanon:3844 yet surely518 3808 I will make7896 thee a wilderness,4057 and cities5892 which are not3808 inhabited.3427

7 And I will prepare6942 destroyers7843 against5921 thee, every one376 with his weapons:3627 and they shall cut down3772 thy choice4005 cedars,730 and cast5307 them into5921 the fire.784

8 And many7227 nations1471 shall pass5674 by5921 this2063 city,5892 and they shall say559 every man376 to413 his neighbor,7453 Wherefore5921 4100 hath the LORD3068 done6213 thus3602 unto this2063 great1419 city?5892

9 Then they shall answer,559 Because5921 834 they have forsaken5800 853 the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 their God,430 and worshiped7812 other312 gods,430 and served5647 them.

10 Weep1058 ye not408 for the dead,4191 neither408 bemoan5110 him: but weep sore1058 1058 for him that goeth away:1980 for3588 he shall return7725 no3808 more,5750 nor see7200 853 his native4138 country.776

11 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 touching413 Shallum7967 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 which reigned4427 instead8478 of Josiah2977 his father,1 which834 went forth3318 out of4480 this2088 place;4725 He shall not3808 return7725 thither8033 any more: 5750

12 But3588 he shall die4191 in the place4725 whither834 8033 they have led him captive,1540 853 and shall see7200 this2063 land776 no3808 more.5750

13 Woe1945 unto him that buildeth1129 his house1004 by unrighteousness,3808 6664 and his chambers5944 by wrong;3808 4941 that useth his neighbor's7453 service5647 without wages,2600 and giveth5414 him not3808 for his work;6467

14 That saith,559 I will build1129 me a wide4060 house1004 and large7304 chambers,5944 and cutteth him out7167 windows;2474 and it is ceiled5603 with cedar,730 and painted4886 with vermilion.8350

15 Shalt thou reign,4427 because3588 thou859 closest8474 thyself in cedar?730 did not3808 thy father1 eat398 and drink,8354 and do6213 judgment4941 and justice,6666 and then227 it was well2896 with him?

16 He judged1777 the cause1779 of the poor6041 and needy;34 then227 it was well2896 with him: was not3808 this1931 to know1847 me? saith5002 the LORD.3068

17 But3588 thine eyes5869 and thine heart3820 are not369 but for3588 518 5921 thy covetousness,1215 and for5921 to shed8210 innocent5355 blood,1818 and for5921 oppression,6233 and for5921 violence,4835 to do6213 it.

18 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning413 Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah;3063 They shall not3808 lament5594 for him, saying, Ah1945 my brother!251 or, Ah1945 sister!269 they shall not3808 lament5594 for him, saying, Ah1945 lord!113 or, Ah1945 his glory!1935

19 He shall be buried6912 with the burial6900 of an ass,2543 drawn5498 and cast forth7993 beyond4480 1973 the gates8179 of Jerusalem.3389

20 Go up5927 to Lebanon,3844 and cry;6817 and lift up5414 thy voice6963 in Bashan,1316 and cry6817 from the passages:4480 5676 for3588 all3605 thy lovers157 are destroyed.7665

21 I spoke1696 unto413 thee in thy prosperity;7962 but thou saidst,559 I will not3808 hear.8085 This2088 hath been thy manner1870 from thy youth,4480 5271 that3588 thou obeyedst8085 not3808 my voice.6963

22 The wind7307 shall eat up7462 all3605 thy pastors,7462 and thy lovers157 shall go1980 into captivity:7628 surely3588 then227 shalt thou be ashamed954 and confounded3637 for all4480 3605 thy wickedness.7451

23 O inhabitant3427 of Lebanon,3844 that makest thy nest7077 in the cedars,730 how4100 gracious2603 shalt thou be when pangs2256 come935 upon thee, the pain2427 as of a woman in travail!3205

24 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the LORD,3068 though3588 518 Coniah3659 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah3063 were1961 the signet2368 upon5921 my right3225 hand,3027 yet3588 would I pluck5423 thee thence;4480 8033

25 And I will give5414 thee into the hand3027 of them that seek1245 thy life,5315 and into the hand3027 of them whose834 face4480 6440 thou859 fearest,3016 even into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 and into the hand3027 of the Chaldeans.3778

26 And I will cast thee out,2904 853 and thy mother517 that834 bore3205 thee, into5921 another312 country,776 where834 8033 ye were not3808 born;3205 and there8033 shall ye die.4191

27 But to5921 the land776 whereunto834 8033 they1992 desire5375 853 5315 to return,7725 thither8033 shall they not3808 return.7725

28 Is this2088 man376 Coniah3659 a despised959 broken5310 idol?6089 is he a vessel3627 wherein is no369 pleasure?2656 wherefore4069 are they cast out,2904 he1931 and his seed,2233 and are cast7993 into5921 a land776 which834 they know3045 not?3808

29 O earth,776 earth,776 earth,776 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD.3068

30 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD,3068 Write3789 ye853 this2088 man376 childless,6185 a man1397 that shall not3808 prosper6743 in his days:3117 for3588 no3808 man376 of his seed4480 2233 shall prosper,6743 sitting3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 and ruling4910 any more5750 in Judah.3063

Chapter 22

1 THUS says the LORD: GO down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word, and say,

1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Go down3381 to the house1004 of the king4428 of Judah,3063 and speak1696 there8033 853 this2088 word,1697

2 Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you and your servants and your people who enter by these gates;

2 And say,559 Hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 O king4428 of Judah,3063 that sittest3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 thou,859 and thy servants,5650 and thy people5971 that enter935 in by these428 gates: 8179

3 Thus says the LORD: Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver the oppressed from the hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do no violence to the strangers, the fatherless, and the widows, nor shed innocent blood in this place.

3 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Execute6213 ye judgment4941 and righteousness,6666 and deliver5337 the spoiled1497 out of the hand4480 3027 of the oppressor:6216 and do no408 wrong,3238 do no408 violence2554 to the stranger,1616 the fatherless,3490 nor the widow,490 neither408 shed8210 innocent5355 blood1818 in this2088 place.4725

4 For if you will do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David and princes who ride in chariots and on horses, a king and his servants and his people.

4 For3588 if518 ye do6213 853 this2088 thing1697 indeed,6213 then shall there enter in935 by the gates8179 of this2088 house1004 kings4428 sitting3427 upon5921 the throne3678 of David,1732 riding7392 in chariots7393 and on horses,5483 he,1931 and his servants,5650 and his people.5971

5 But if you will not listen to these words, I swear by myself, says the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

5 But if518 ye will not3808 hear8085 853 these428 words,1697 I swear7650 by myself, saith5002 the LORD,3068 that3588 this2088 house1004 shall become1961 a desolation.2723

6 For thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: You are like Gilead, like the head of Lebanon; but I will surely make you a desert, like an uninhabited city.

6 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 unto5921 the king's4428 house1004 of Judah;3063 Thou859 art Gilead1568 unto me, and the head7218 of Lebanon:3844 yet surely518 3808 I will make7896 thee a wilderness,4057 and cities5892 which are not3808 inhabited.3427

7 And I will prepare destroyers against you, every one with his axe in his hand; and they shall cut down your choicest cedars and cast them into the fire.

7 And I will prepare6942 destroyers7843 against5921 thee, every one376 with his weapons:3627 and they shall cut down3772 thy choice4005 cedars,730 and cast5307 them into5921 the fire.784

8 And many people shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?

8 And many7227 nations1471 shall pass5674 by5921 this2063 city,5892 and they shall say559 every man376 to413 his neighbor,7453 Wherefore5921 4100 hath the LORD3068 done6213 thus3602 unto this2063 great1419 city?5892

9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and worshipped other gods and served them.

9 Then they shall answer,559 Because5921 834 they have forsaken5800 853 the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 their God,430 and worshiped7812 other312 gods,430 and served5647 them.

10 Weep not for the dead, nor bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him that goes away; for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.

10 Weep1058 ye not408 for the dead,4191 neither408 bemoan5110 him: but weep sore1058 1058 for him that goeth away:1980 for3588 he shall return7725 no3808 more,5750 nor see7200 853 his native4138 country.776

11 For thus says the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father and who went away from this country: He shall not return here any more;

11 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 touching413 Shallum7967 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah,3063 which reigned4427 instead8478 of Josiah2977 his father,1 which834 went forth3318 out of4480 this2088 place;4725 He shall not3808 return7725 thither8033 any more: 5750

12 But he shall die in the country where they have carried him captive, and shall see this land no more.

12 But3588 he shall die4191 in the place4725 whither834 8033 they have led him captive,1540 853 and shall see7200 this2063 land776 no3808 more.5750

13 Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness and his upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbor work for him without wages, and does not give him his hire;

13 Woe1945 unto him that buildeth1129 his house1004 by unrighteousness,3808 6664 and his chambers5944 by wrong;3808 4941 that useth his neighbor's7453 service5647 without wages,2600 and giveth5414 him not3808 for his work;6467

14 Who says, I will build for myself wide houses with spacious upper rooms; and cuts out windows for them and covers them with cedar and paints them with vermilion.

14 That saith,559 I will build1129 me a wide4060 house1004 and large7304 chambers,5944 and cutteth him out7167 windows;2474 and it is ceiled5603 with cedar,730 and painted4886 with vermilion.8350

15 Shall you reign and rejoice by living in palaces built with cedar? Indeed, your father did eat and drink, but he also did justice and righteousness, therefore I did good to him.

15 Shalt thou reign,4427 because3588 thou859 closest8474 thyself in cedar?730 did not3808 thy father1 eat398 and drink,8354 and do6213 judgment4941 and justice,6666 and then227 it was well2896 with him?

16 He did justice to the cause of the poor and needy; and he did well; he who does these things, knows me, says the LORD.

16 He judged1777 the cause1779 of the poor6041 and needy;34 then227 it was well2896 with him: was not3808 this1931 to know1847 me? saith5002 the LORD.3068

17 But your eyes and your hearts are set for nothing else but for your wealth and for the shedding of innocent blood, and for oppression and for violence, to do it.

17 But3588 thine eyes5869 and thine heart3820 are not369 but for3588 518 5921 thy covetousness,1215 and for5921 to shed8210 innocent5355 blood,1818 and for5921 oppression,6233 and for5921 violence,4835 to do6213 it.

18 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah: They shall not mourn for him, nor shall they say, Ah my brother! Ah my brother! They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! Ah lord!

18 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 concerning413 Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah;3063 They shall not3808 lament5594 for him, saying, Ah1945 my brother!251 or, Ah1945 sister!269 they shall not3808 lament5594 for him, saying, Ah1945 lord!113 or, Ah1945 his glory!1935

19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, dragged and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

19 He shall be buried6912 with the burial6900 of an ass,2543 drawn5498 and cast forth7993 beyond4480 1973 the gates8179 of Jerusalem.3389

20 Go up to Lebanon and cry; and lift up your voice in Mathnin and cry from the other side of the sea; for all your lovers are defeated.

20 Go up5927 to Lebanon,3844 and cry;6817 and lift up5414 thy voice6963 in Bashan,1316 and cry6817 from the passages:4480 5676 for3588 all3605 thy lovers157 are destroyed.7665

21 I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not listen. This has been your way from your youth, you did not obey my voice.

21 I spoke1696 unto413 thee in thy prosperity;7962 but thou saidst,559 I will not3808 hear.8085 This2088 hath been thy manner1870 from thy youth,4480 5271 that3588 thou obeyedst8085 not3808 my voice.6963

22 All of your shepherds shall be smitten by the east wind, and your lovers shall go into captivity; surely then you shall be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.

22 The wind7307 shall eat up7462 all3605 thy pastors,7462 and thy lovers157 shall go1980 into captivity:7628 surely3588 then227 shalt thou be ashamed954 and confounded3637 for all4480 3605 thy wickedness.7451

23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes her nest in the cedars, how you shall groan when pangs come upon you and the pain as of a woman in travail!

23 O inhabitant3427 of Lebanon,3844 that makest thy nest7077 in the cedars,730 how4100 gracious2603 shalt thou be when pangs2256 come935 upon thee, the pain2427 as of a woman in travail!3205

24 As I live, says the LORD God, though Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, yet I would pull you off;

24 As I589 live,2416 saith5002 the LORD,3068 though3588 518 Coniah3659 the son1121 of Jehoiakim3079 king4428 of Judah3063 were1961 the signet2368 upon5921 my right3225 hand,3027 yet3588 would I pluck5423 thee thence;4480 8033

25 And I will deliver you into the hand of the men who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose presence you fear, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

25 And I will give5414 thee into the hand3027 of them that seek1245 thy life,5315 and into the hand3027 of them whose834 face4480 6440 thou859 fearest,3016 even into the hand3027 of Nebuchadnezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon,894 and into the hand3027 of the Chaldeans.3778

26 And I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another land, where you were not born; and there shall you die.

26 And I will cast thee out,2904 853 and thy mother517 that834 bore3205 thee, into5921 another312 country,776 where834 8033 ye were not3808 born;3205 and there8033 shall ye die.4191

27 But to the land to which you hope to return, thither you shall not come back.

27 But to5921 the land776 whereunto834 8033 they1992 desire5375 853 5315 to return,7725 thither8033 shall they not3808 return.7725

28 this Jecaniah is a little man and a fool, he is like a useless vessel; this is why he is carried away, he and his children, and cast into a land which he knows not.

28 Is this2088 man376 Coniah3659 a despised959 broken5310 idol?6089 is he a vessel3627 wherein is no369 pleasure?2656 wherefore4069 are they cast out,2904 he1931 and his seed,2233 and are cast7993 into5921 a land776 which834 they know3045 not?3808

29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD!
