Jeremiah 22:1-18

22:1

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>_,

22:2

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>_:

22:3

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>_.

22:4

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>_.

{upon...: Heb. for David upon his throne}

22:5

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>_.

22:6

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)_.

22:7

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>_.

22:8

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>_?

22:9

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.

22:10

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>_.

22:11

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:

22:12

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.

22:13

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>_;

22:14

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>_.

{large: Heb. through-aired} {windows: or, my windows}

22:15

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?

22:16

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>_.

22:17

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]. {violence: or, incursion}

22:18

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>_!
