Thus
says
the LORD,
"Go down
to the house
of the king
of Judah,
and there
speak
this
word
2
and say,
'Hear
the word
of the LORD,
O king
of Judah,
who sits
on David's
throne,
you and your servants
and your people
who enter
these
gates.
3
Thus
says
the LORD,
"Do
justice
and righteousness,
and deliver
the one who has been robbed
from the power
of his oppressor.
Also do not mistreat
or do violence
to the stranger,
the orphan,
or the widow;
and do not shed
innocent
blood
in this
place.
4
"For if
you men will indeed
perform
this
thing,
then kings
will enter
the gates
of
this
house,
sitting
in David's
place on his throne,
riding
in chariots
and on horses,
even the king himself
and his servants
and his people.
5
"But if
you will not obey
these
words,
I swear
by Myself," declares
the LORD,
"that this
house
will become
a desolation."'"
6
For thus
says
the LORD
concerning
the house
of the king
of Judah:
"You are like Gilead
to Me, Like the summit
of Lebanon;
Yet most
assuredly
I will make
you like a wilderness,
Like cities
which are not inhabited.
7
"For I will set apart
destroyers
against
you, Each
with his weapons;
And they will cut down
your choicest
cedars
And throw
them on the fire.
8
"Many
nations
will pass
by this
city;
and they will say
to one
another,
'Why
has the LORD
done
thus
to this
great
city?'
9
"Then they will answer,
'Because
they forsook
the covenant
of the LORD
their God
and bowed down
to other
gods
and served
them.'"
10
Do not weep
for the dead
or mourn
for him, But weep
continually
for the one who goes
away; For he will never
return
Or see
his native
land.
11
For thus
says
the LORD
in regard
to Shallum
the son
of Josiah
,
king
of Judah,
who
became
king
in the place
of Josiah
his father,
who
went forth
from this
place,
"He will never
return
there;
12
but in the place
where
they led him captive,
there
he will die
and not see
this
land
again.
13
"Woe
to him who builds
his house
without
righteousness
And his upper rooms
without
justice,
Who uses
his neighbor's
services
without
pay
And does not give
him his wages,
14
Who says,
'
I will build
myself a roomy
house
With spacious
upper rooms,
And cut
out its windows,
Paneling
it with cedar
and painting
it bright red.'
15
"Do you become a king
because
you are competing
in cedar?
Did not your father
eat
and drink
And do
justice
and righteousness?
Then
it was well
with him.
16
"He pled
the cause
of the afflicted
and needy;
Then
it was well.
Is not that what it means to know
Me?" Declares
the LORD.
17
"But your eyes
and your heart
Are intent only
upon your own dishonest gain,
And on shedding
innocent
blood
And on practicing
oppression
and extortion."
18
Therefore
thus
says
the LORD
in regard
to Jehoiakim
the son
of Josiah,
king
of Judah,
"
They will not lament
for him: 'Alas
,
my brother!'
or, 'Alas
,
sister!'
They will not lament
for him: 'Alas
for the master!'
or, 'Alas
for his splendor!'
19
"He will be buried
with a donkey's
burial,
Dragged
off and thrown
out beyond
the gates
of Jerusalem.
20
"Go
up to Lebanon
and cry
out, And lift
up your voice
in Bashan;
Cry
out also from Abarim,
For all
your lovers
have been crushed.
21
"I spoke
to you in your prosperity;
But you said,
'I will not listen!'
This
has been your practice
from your youth,
That you have not obeyed
My voice.
22
"The wind
will sweep
away
all
your shepherds,
And your lovers
will go
into captivity;
Then
you will surely
be ashamed
and humiliated
Because
of
all
your wickedness.
23
"You who dwell
in Lebanon,
Nested
in the cedars,
How
you will groan
when pangs
come
upon you, Pain
like a woman in childbirth!
24
"As I live,"
declares
the LORD,
"even
though
Coniah
the son
of Jehoiakim
king
of Judah
were a signet
ring on My right
hand,
yet
I would pull you off;
25
and I will give
you over into the hand
of those who are see
king
your life,
yes, into the hand
of those whom
you dread,
even into the hand
of Nebuchadnezzar
king
of Babylon
and into the hand
of the Chaldeans.
26
"I will hurl
you and your mother
who
bore
you into another
country
where
you were not born,
and there
you will die.
27
"But as for the land
to which
they desire
to return,
they will not return
to it.
28
"Is this
man
Coniah
a despised,
shattered
jar?
Or
is he an undesirable
vessel?
Why
have he and his descendants
been hurled
out And cast
into a land
that they had not known?
29
"O
land,
land,
land,
Hear
the word
of the LORD!
30
"Thus
says
the LORD,
'Write
this
man
down
childless,
A
man
who will not prosper
in his days;
For no
man
of his descendants
will prosper
Sitting
on the throne
of David
Or ruling
again
in Judah.'"
