Jeremiah 22

22 Thus says Yahweh: “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word. 2 And you shall say, ‘Hear the word of Yahweh, king of Judah, the one sitting on the throne of David, you and your servants and your people who are entering in these gates. 3 Thus says Yahweh: Do justice and righteousness, and rescue the one who has been robbed from the hand of the oppressor. And do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not do violence, and do not shed innocent blood in this place. 4 For if doing you do this word, then kings sitting for David on his throne will enter through the gates of this house, riding in the chariot and on horses, he and his servants and his people. 5 But if you will not hear these words, by myself I have sworn”—the declaration of Yahweh—“that this house will become a ruin.’ ”

6 For thus says Yahweh concerning the house of the king of Judah:

“You are Gilead to me,

the top of Lebanon.

But surely I will make you a wilderness,

cities not inhabited.

7 And I will consecrate destroyers against you,

a man and his weapons,

and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars

and cast them on the fire.

8 And many nations will pass by this city, and they will say, a man to his neighbor, ‘On account of what has Yahweh done thus to great this city?’ 9 And they will say, ‘On account of the fact that they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God and bowed down to other gods and served them.’ ”

10 Do not weep for the dead one, and do not mourn for him. Weep, to weep for the one going away, for he will not return again nor see his native land.

11 For thus says Yahweh concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, the one reigning in the place of Josiah his father, who went out from this place: “He will not return there again. 12 But in the place where they exiled him, there he shall die, and he will not see this land again.”

13 Woe to the one building his house by unrighteousness

and his upper rooms by injustice,

who makes his neighbor work for nothing

and does not give him his wages,

14 the one saying, “I will build for myself a house of great measurements

and spacious upper rooms,”

and he cuts out windows for himself

and panels it with cedar

and paints it with vermilion.

15 Will you reign because you are competing in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness? Then it was good for him. 16 He judged the cause of the poor and the needy. Then it was good. Is not this the knowledge of me?”— the declaration of Yahweh. 17 “But there is nothing in your eyes and your heart except upon your unjust gain, and upon the blood of the innocent to pour it out, and upon oppression and upon extortion to do them.

18 Therefore, thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:

“They will not mourn for him, saying,

‘Woe, my brother!’ and ‘Woe, sister!’

They will not mourn for him, saying,

‘Woe, master!’ and ‘Woe, his majesty!’

19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey,

dragged and thrown out

beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”

20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,

and give your voice in Bashan,

and cry out from Abarim,

for all your lovers are broken.

21 I spoke to you in your prosperity;

you said, ‘I will not hear.’

This has been your way from your youth,

for you have not heard my voice.

22 The wind shall shepherd all your shepherds,

and your lovers shall go into captivity.

Surely then you will be ashamed and humiliated

because of all your evil.

23 You who are dwelling in Lebanon,

you who are nesting in the cedars,

how you will be pitied when pangs come to you,

pain like the one giving birth!

24 As I live”—the declaration of Yahweh—“even if Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were a signet on my right hand, surely from there I would tear you off. 25 And I will give you into the hand of the ones seeking your life and into the hand of those whom you fear from their face, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 And I will hurl you and your mother who bore you into another land where you were not born, and there you will die. 27 And to the land where they are lifting up their soul to return there, there they will not return.”

28 “Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered vessel?

Or is he a vessel in which there is no delight?

Why have they been hurled, he and his seed,

and thrown into a land that they did not know?”

29 Land, land, land,

hear the word of Yahweh!

30 Thus says Yahweh:

“Write down this man childless,

a man who will not prosper in his days,

for no man from his seed shall prosper,

sitting on the throne of David

and ruling again in Judah.”
