Jeremiah 22 (kjv)

Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Go down^H3381 to the house^H1004 of the king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, and speak^H1696 there this word^H1697,²And say^H559, Hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, O king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, that sittest^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732, thou, and thy servants^H5650, and thy people^H5971 that enter^H935 in by these gates^H8179:³Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Execute^H6213 ye judgment^H4941 and righteousness^H6666, and deliver^H5337 the spoiled^H1497 out of the hand^H3027 of the oppressor^H6216: and do no wrong^H3238, do no violence^H2554 to the stranger^H1616, the fatherless^H3490, nor the widow^H490, neither shed^H8210 innocent^H5355 blood^H1818 in this place^H4725.⁴For if ye do^H6213 this thing^H1697 indeed^H6213, then shall there enter in^H935 by the gates^H8179 of this house^H1004 kings^H4428 sitting^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732, riding^H7392 in chariots^H7393 and on horses^H5483, he, and his servants^H5650, and his people^H5971.⁵But if ye will not hear^H8085 these words^H1697, I swear^H7650 by myself, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that this house^H1004 shall become a desolation^H2723.⁶For thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 unto the king's^H4428 house^H1004 of Judah^H3063; Thou art Gilead^H1568 unto me, and the head^H7218 of Lebanon^H3844: yet surely I will make^H7896 thee a wilderness^H4057, and cities^H5892 which are not inhabited^{H3427 H3427}.⁷And I will prepare^H6942 destroyers^H7843 against thee, every one^H376 with his weapons^H3627: and they shall cut down^H3772 thy choice^H4005 cedars^H730, and cast^H5307 them into the fire^H784.⁸And many^H7227 nations^H1471 shall pass^H5674 by this city^H5892, and they shall say^H559 every man^H376 to his neighbour^H7453, Wherefore hath the LORD^H3068 done^H6213 thus unto this great^H1419 city^H5892?⁹Then they shall answer^H559, Because they have forsaken^H5800 the covenant^H1285 of the LORD^H3068 their God^H430, and worshipped^H7812 other^H312 gods^H430, and served^H5647 them.

¹⁰Weep^H1058 ye not for the dead^H4191, neither bemoan^H5110 him: but weep^H1058 sore^H1058 for him that goeth away^H1980: for he shall return^H7725 no more, nor see^H7200 his native^H4138 country^H776.¹¹For thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 touching^H413 Shallum^H7967 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, which reigned^H4427 instead of Josiah^H2977 his father^H1, which went forth^H3318 out of this place^H4725; He shall not return^H7725 thither any more:¹²But he shall die^H4191 in the place^H4725 whither they have led him captive^H1540, and shall see^H7200 this land^H776 no more.

¹³Woe^H1945 unto him that buildeth^H1129 his house^H1004 by^H3808 unrighteousness^H6664, and his chambers^H5944 by wrong^H4941; that useth his neighbour's^H7453 service^H5647 without wages^H2600, and giveth^H5414 him not for his work^H6467;¹⁴That saith^H559, I will build^H1129 me a wide^H4060 house^H1004 and large^H7304 chambers^H5944, and cutteth him out^H7167 windows^H2474; and it is cieled^H5603 with cedar^H730, and painted^H4886 with vermilion^H8350.¹⁵Shalt thou reign^H4427, because thou closest^H8474 thyself in cedar^H730? did not thy father^H1 eat^H398 and drink^H8354, and do^H6213 judgment^H4941 and justice^H6666, and then it was well^H2896 with him?¹⁶He judged^H1777 the cause^H1779 of the poor^H6041 and needy^H34; then it was well^H2896 with him: was not this to know^H1847 me? saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.¹⁷But thine eyes^H5869 and thine heart^H3820 are not but for thy covetousness^H1215, and for to shed^H8210 innocent^H5355 blood^H1818, and for oppression^H6233, and for violence^H4835, to do^H6213 it.¹⁸Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 concerning Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063; They shall not lament^H5594 for him, saying, Ah^H1945 my brother^H251! or, Ah^H1945 sister^H269! they shall not lament^H5594 for him, saying, Ah^H1945 lord^H113! or, Ah^H1945 his glory^H1935!¹⁹He shall be buried^H6912 with the burial^H6900 of an ass^H2543, drawn^H5498 and cast forth^H7993 beyond^H1973 the gates^H8179 of Jerusalem^H3389.

²⁰Go up^H5927 to Lebanon^H3844, and cry^H6817; and lift up^H5414 thy voice^H6963 in Bashan^H1316, and cry^H6817 from the passages^H5676: for all thy lovers^H157 are destroyed^H7665.²¹I spake^H1696 unto thee in thy prosperity^H7962; but thou saidst^H559, I will not hear^H8085. This hath been thy manner^H1870 from thy youth^H5271, that thou obeyedst^H8085 not my voice^H6963.²²The wind^H7307 shall eat up^H7462 all thy pastors^H7462, and thy lovers^H157 shall go^H3212 into captivity^H7628: surely then shalt thou be ashamed^H954 and confounded^H3637 for all thy wickedness^H7451.²³O inhabitant^H3427 of Lebanon^H3844, that makest thy nest^H7077 in the cedars^H730, how gracious^H2603 shalt thou be when pangs^H2256 come^H935 upon thee, the pain^H2427 as of a woman in travail^H3205 !²⁴As I live^H2416, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, though Coniah^H3659 the son^H1121 of Jehoiakim^H3079 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063 were the signet^H2368 upon my right^H3225 hand^H3027, yet would I pluck^H5423 thee thence;²⁵And I will give^H5414 thee into the hand^H3027 of them that seek^H1245 thy life^H5315, and into the hand^H3027 of them whose face^H6440 thou fearest^H3016, even into the hand^H3027 of Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H894, and into the hand^H3027 of the Chaldeans^H3778.²⁶And I will cast thee out^H2904, and thy mother^H517 that bare^H3205 thee, into another^H312 country^H776, where ye were not born^H3205; and there shall ye die^H4191.²⁷But to the land^H776 whereunto they desire^{H5375 H5315} to return^H7725, thither shall they not return^H7725.²⁸Is this man^H376 Coniah^H3659 a despised^H959 broken^H5310 idol^H6089? is he a vessel^H3627 wherein is no pleasure^H2656? wherefore are they cast out^H7993, he and his seed^H2233, and are cast^H2904 into a land^H776 which they know^H3045 not?²⁹O earth^H776, earth^H776, earth^H776, hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068.³⁰Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, Write^H3789 ye this man^H376 childless^H6185, a man^H1397 that shall not prosper^H6743 in his days^H3117: for no man^H376 of his seed^H2233 shall prosper^H6743, sitting^H3427 upon the throne^H3678 of David^H1732, and ruling^H4910 any more in Judah^H3063.
