Thus saith
the LORD;
Go down
to the house
of the king
of Judah,
and speak
there this word,
And say,
Hear
the word
of the LORD,
O king
of Judah,
that sittest
upon the throne
of David,
thou, and thy servants,
and thy people
that enter
in by these gates:
Thus saith
the LORD;
Execute
ye judgment
and righteousness,
and deliver
the spoiled
out of the hand
of the oppressor:
and do no wrong,
do no violence
to the stranger,
the fatherless,
nor the widow,
neither shed
innocent
blood
in this place.
For if ye do
this thing
indeed,
then shall there enter in
by the gates
of this house
kings
sitting
upon the throne
of David,
riding
in chariots
and on horses,
he, and his servants,
and his people.
But if ye will not hear
these words,
I swear
by myself, saith
the LORD,
that this house
shall become a desolation.
For thus saith
the LORD
unto the king's
house
of Judah;
Thou art Gilead
unto me, and the head
of Lebanon:
yet surely I will make
thee a wilderness,
and cities
which are not inhabited.

And I will prepare
destroyers
against thee, every one
with his weapons:
and they shall cut down
thy choice
cedars,
and cast
them into the fire.
And many
nations
shall pass
by this city,
and they shall say
every man
to his neighbour,
Wherefore hath the LORD
done
thus unto this great
city?
Then they shall answer,
Because they have forsaken
the covenant
of the LORD
their God,
and worshipped
other
gods,
and served
them.
Weep
ye not for the dead,
neither bemoan
him: but weep
sore
for him that goeth away:
for he shall return
no more, nor see
his native
country.
For thus saith
the LORD
touching
Shallum
the son
of Josiah
king
of Judah,
which reigned
instead of Josiah
his father,
which went forth
out of this place;
He shall not return
thither any more:

But he shall die
in the place
whither they have led him captive,
and shall see
this land
no more.
Woe
unto him that buildeth
his house
by
unrighteousness,
and his chambers
by wrong;
that useth his neighbour's
service
without wages,
and giveth
him not for his work;
That saith,
I will build
me a wide
house
and large
chambers,
and cutteth him out
windows;
and it is cieled
with cedar,
and painted
with vermilion.

He judged
the cause
of the poor
and needy;
then it was well
with him: was not this to know
me? saith
the LORD.
But thine eyes
and thine heart
are not but for thy covetousness,
and for to shed
innocent
blood,
and for oppression,
and for violence,
to do
it.
Therefore thus saith
the LORD
concerning Jehoiakim
the son
of Josiah
king
of Judah;
They shall not lament
for him, saying, Ah
my brother!
or, Ah
sister!
they shall not lament
for him, saying, Ah
lord!
or, Ah
his glory!

I will not hear.
This hath been thy manner
from thy youth,
that thou obeyedst
not my voice.
The wind
shall eat up
all thy pastors,
and thy lovers
shall go
into captivity:
surely then shalt thou be ashamed
and confounded
for all thy wickedness.

O inhabitant

As I live,
saith
the LORD,
though Coniah
the son
of Jehoiakim
king
of Judah
were the signet
upon my right
hand,
yet would I pluck
thee thence;

And I will give
thee into the hand
of them that seek
thy life,
and into the hand
of them whose face
thou fearest,
even into the hand
of Nebuchadrezzar
king
of Babylon,
and into the hand
of the Chaldeans.
And I will cast thee out,
and thy mother
that bare
thee, into another
country,
where ye were not born;
and there shall ye die.
But to the land
whereunto they desire
to return,
thither shall they not return.
Is this man
Coniah
a despised
broken
idol?
is he a vessel
wherein is no pleasure?
wherefore are they cast out,
he and his seed,
and are cast
into a land
which they know
not?
O earth,
earth,

hear
the word
of the LORD.
Thus saith
the LORD,
Write
ye this man
childless,
a man
that shall not prosper
in his days:
for no man
of his seed
shall prosper,
sitting
upon the throne
of David,
and ruling
any more in Judah.
