 |
| Jeremiah 22:1 |
|
Thus said Jehovah: Go down to the house of the
king of Judah, and speak there this word, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:2 |
|
And say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O king of
Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy
people that enter in by these gates. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:3 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah: Execute ye justice and righteousness,
and deliver him that is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong,
do no violence, to the sojourner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither shed
innocent blood in this place. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:4 |
|
For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there
enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding
in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:5 |
|
But if ye will not hear these words, I swear
by myself, saith Jehovah, that this house shall become a desolation. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:6 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah concerning the house
of the king of Judah: Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon; yet surely
I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:7 |
|
And I will prepare destroyers against thee,
every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast
them into the fire. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:8 |
|
And many nations shall pass by this city, and
they shall say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto
this great city? |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:9 |
|
Then they shall answer, Because they forsook
the covenant of Jehovah their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:10 |
|
Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him;
but weep sore for him that goeth away; for he shall return no more, nor see his
native country. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:11 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah touching Shallum the
son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who
went forth out of this place: He shall not return thither any more. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:12 |
|
But in the place whither they have led him captive,
there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:13 |
|
Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness,
and his chambers by injustice; that useth his neighbor's service without wages,
and giveth him not his hire; |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:14 |
|
that saith, I will build me a wide house and
spacious chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is ceiled with cedar, and
painted with vermilion. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:15 |
|
Shalt thou reign, because thou strivest to excel
in cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness?
then it was well with him. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:16 |
|
He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:17 |
|
But thine eyes and thy heart are not but for
thy covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for
violence, to do it. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:18 |
|
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim
the son of Josiah, king of Judah: they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my
brother! or, Ah sister! They shall not lament for him, saying Ah lord! or, Ah
his glory! |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:19 |
|
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass,
drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:20 |
|
Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice
in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all thy lovers are destroyed. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:21 |
|
I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou
saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst
not my voice. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:22 |
|
The wind shall feed all thy shepherds, and thy
lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded
for all thy wickedness. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:23 |
|
O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest
in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee,
the pain as of a woman in travail! |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:24 |
|
As I live, saith Jehovah, though Coniah the
son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I
pluck thee thence; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:25 |
|
and I will give thee into the hand of them that
seek thy life, and into the hand of them of whom thou art afraid, even into the
hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:26 |
|
And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that
bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
|
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:27 |
|
But to the land whereunto their soul longeth
to return, thither shall they not return. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:28 |
|
Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel?
is he a vessel wherein none delighteth? wherefore are they cast out, he and his
seed, and are cast into the land which they know not? |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:29 |
|
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Jehovah.
|
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 22:30 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah, Write ye this man childless,
a man that shall not prosper in his days; for no more shall a man of his seed
prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling in Judah. |
