Jeremiah 22:18
22:18 So the Lord has this to say about Josiah’s son, King Jehoiakim of Judah:
People will not mourn for him, saying,
“This makes me sad, my brother!
This makes me sad, my sister!”
They will not mourn for him, saying,
“Poor, poor lord! Poor, poor majesty!”
Jeremiah 22:2
22:2 Say: ‘Listen, O king of Judah who follows in David’s succession.
You, your officials, and your subjects who pass through the gates of this palace must listen to what the
Lord says.
Jeremiah 23:35-37
23:35 So I, Jeremiah, tell you, “Each of you people should say to his friend or his relative, ‘How did the Lord answer? Or what did the Lord say?’
23:36 You must no longer say that the Lord’s message is burdensome. For what is ‘burdensome’ really pertains to what a person himself says. You are misrepresenting the words of our God, the living God, the Lord who rules over all.
23:37 Each of you should merely ask the prophet, ‘What answer did the Lord give you? Or what did the Lord say?’
Jeremiah 23:2
23:2 So the
Lord God of Israel has this to say about the leaders who are ruling over his people: “You have caused my people
to be dispersed and driven into exile. You have not taken care of them. So I will punish you for the evil that you have done.
I, the
Lord, affirm it!
Jeremiah 36:4
36:4 So Jeremiah summoned Baruch son of Neriah. Then Jeremiah dictated to Baruch everything the Lord had told him to say and Baruch wrote it all down in a scroll.
