1 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Go down <03381> (8798) to the house <01004> of the king <04428> of Judah <03063>, and speak <01696> (8765) there this word <01697>,
2 And say <0559> (8804), Hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, O king <04428> of Judah <03063>, that sittest <03427> (8802) upon the throne <03678> of David <01732>, thou, and thy servants <05650> , and thy people <05971> that enter <0935> (8802) in by these gates <08179>:
3 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Execute <06213> (8798) ye judgment <04941> and righteousness <06666>, and deliver <05337> (8685) the spoiled <01497> (8803) out of the hand <03027> of the oppressor <06216> : and do no wrong <03238> (8686), do no violence <02554> (8799) to the stranger <01616>, the fatherless <03490>, nor the widow <0490>, neither shed <08210> (8799) innocent <05355> blood <01818> in this place <04725>.
4 For if ye do <06213> (8799) this thing <01697> indeed <06213> (8800), then shall there enter in <0935> (8804) by the gates <08179> of this house <01004> kings <04428> sitting <03427> (8802) upon the throne <03678> of David <01732>, riding <07392> (8802) in chariots <07393> and on horses <05483>, he, and his servants <05650>, and his people <05971>.
5 But if ye will not hear <08085> (8799) these words <01697>, I swear <07650> (8738) by myself, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that this house <01004> shall become a desolation <02723>.
6 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> unto the king's <04428> house <01004> of Judah <03063> ; Thou art Gilead <01568> unto me, and the head <07218> of Lebanon <03844>: yet surely I will make <07896> (8799) thee a wilderness <04057>, and cities <05892> which are not inhabited <03427> (8738) (8675) <03427> (8737) .
7 And I will prepare <06942> (8765) destroyers <07843> (8688) against thee, every one <0376> with his weapons <03627>: and they shall cut down <03772> (8804) thy choice <04005> cedars <0730>, and cast <05307> (8689) them into the fire <0784>.
8 And many <07227> nations <01471> shall pass <05674> (8804) by this city <05892>, and they shall say <0559> (8804) every man <0376> to his neighbour <07453>, Wherefore hath the LORD <03068> done <06213> (8804) thus unto this great <01419> city <05892>?
9 Then they shall answer <0559> (8804), Because they have forsaken <05800> (8804) the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> their God <0430>, and worshipped <07812> (8691) other <0312> gods <0430>, and served <05647> (8799) them.
10 # Weep <01058> (8799) ye not for the dead <04191> (8801), neither bemoan <05110> (8799) him: but weep <01058> (8798) sore <01058> (8800) for him that goeth away <01980> (8802): for he shall return <07725> (8799) no more, nor see <07200> (8804) his native <04138> country <0776>.
11 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> touching <0413> Shallum <07967> the son <01121> of Josiah <02977> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, which reigned <04427> (8802) instead of Josiah <02977> his father <01> , which went forth <03318> (8804) out of this place <04725>; He shall not return <07725> (8799) thither any more:
12 But he shall die <04191> (8799) in the place <04725> whither they have led him captive <01540> (8689), and shall see <07200> (8799) this land <0776> no more.
13 Woe <01945> unto him that buildeth <01129> (8802) his house <01004> by <03808> unrighteousness <06664> , and his chambers <05944> by wrong <04941>; that useth his neighbour's <07453> service <05647> (8799) without wages <02600> , and giveth <05414> (8799) him not for his work <06467>;
14 That saith <0559> (8802), I will build <01129> (8799) me a wide <04060> house <01004> and large <07304> (8794) chambers <05944>, and cutteth him out <07167> (8804) windows <02474>; and it is cieled <05603> (8803) with cedar <0730>, and painted <04886> (8800) with vermilion <08350>.
15 Shalt thou reign <04427> (8799), because thou closest <08474> (8808) thyself in cedar <0730>? did not thy father <01> eat <0398> (8804) and drink <08354> (8804), and do <06213> (8804) judgment <04941> and justice <06666>, and then it was well <02896> with him?
16 He judged <01777> (8804) the cause <01779> of the poor <06041> and needy <034>; then it was well <02896> with him: was not this to know <01847> me? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
17 But thine eyes <05869> and thine heart <03820> are not but for thy covetousness <01215>, and for to shed <08210> (8800) innocent <05355> blood <01818>, and for oppression <06233>, and for violence <04835>, to do <06213> (8800) it.
18 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> concerning Jehoiakim <03079> the son <01121> of Josiah <02977> king <04428> of Judah <03063>; They shall not lament <05594> (8799) for him, saying, Ah <01945> my brother <0251>! or, Ah <01945> sister <0269>! they shall not lament <05594> (8799) for him, saying, Ah <01945> lord <0113> ! or, Ah <01945> his glory <01935>!
19 He shall be buried <06912> (8735) with the burial <06900> of an ass <02543>, drawn <05498> (8800) and cast forth <07993> (8687) beyond <01973> the gates <08179> of Jerusalem <03389>.
20 # Go up <05927> (8798) to Lebanon <03844>, and cry <06817> (8798); and lift up <05414> (8798) thy voice <06963> in Bashan <01316>, and cry <06817> (8798) from the passages <05676>: for all thy lovers <0157> (8764) are destroyed <07665> (8738).
21 I spake <01696> (8765) unto thee in thy prosperity <07962>; but thou saidst <0559> (8804), I will not hear <08085> (8799). This hath been thy manner <01870> from thy youth <05271>, that thou obeyedst <08085> (8804) not my voice <06963>.
22 The wind <07307> shall eat up <07462> (8799) all thy pastors <07462> (8802), and thy lovers <0157> (8764) shall go <03212> (8799) into captivity <07628>: surely then shalt thou be ashamed <0954> (8799) and confounded <03637> (8738) for all thy wickedness <07451>.

23 O inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Lebanon <03844>, that makest thy nest <07077> (8794) in the cedars <0730> , how gracious <02603> (8738) shalt thou be when pangs <02256> come <0935> (8800) upon thee, the pain <02427> as of a woman in travail <03205> (8802)!
24 As I live <02416>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, though Coniah <03659> the son <01121> of Jehoiakim <03079> king <04428> of Judah <03063> were the signet <02368> upon my right <03225> hand <03027>, yet would I pluck <05423> (8799) thee thence;
25 And I will give <05414> (8804) thee into the hand <03027> of them that seek <01245> (8764) thy life <05315> , and into the hand <03027> of them whose face <06440> thou fearest <03016> (8801), even into the hand <03027> of Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894>, and into the hand <03027> of the Chaldeans <03778>.
26 And I will cast thee out <02904> (8689), and thy mother <0517> that bare <03205> (8804) thee, into another <0312> country <0776>, where ye were not born <03205> (8795); and there shall ye die <04191> (8799).
27 But to the land <0776> whereunto they desire <05375> (8764) (8676) <05315> to return <07725> (8800), thither shall they not return <07725> (8799).
28 Is this man <0376> Coniah <03659> a despised <0959> (8737) broken <05310> (8803) idol <06089>? is he a vessel <03627> wherein is no pleasure <02656>? wherefore are they cast out <07993> (8717), he and his seed <02233>, and are cast <02904> (8717) into a land <0776> which they know <03045> (8804) not?
29 O earth <0776>, earth <0776>, earth <0776>, hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.
30 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Write <03789> (8798) ye this man <0376> childless <06185>, a man <01397> that shall not prosper <06743> (8799) in his days <03117>: for no man <0376> of his seed <02233> shall prosper <06743> (8799), sitting <03427> (8802) upon the throne <03678> of David <01732>, and ruling <04910> (8802) any more in Judah <03063>.
