| [1]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; Go downH3381[H8798] to the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and speakH1696[H8765] there this wordH1697, |
[1]Thus said the Lord, Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this thing, |
| [2]And sayH559[H8804], HearH8085[H8798] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sittestH3427[H8802] upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, thou, and thy servantsH5650, and thy peopleH5971 that enterH935[H8802] in by these gatesH8179: |
[2]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. |
| [3]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; ExecuteH6213[H8798] ye judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666, and deliverH5337[H8685] the spoiledH1497[H8803] out of the handH3027 of the oppressorH6216: and do no wrongH3238[H8686], do no violenceH2554[H8799] to the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, nor the widowH490, neither shedH8210[H8799] innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725. |
[3]Thus saith the Lord, Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the oppressed from the hand of the oppressor, and vex not the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow: do no violence, nor shed innocent blood in this place. |
| [4]For if ye doH6213[H8799] this thingH1697 indeedH6213[H8800], then shall there enter inH935[H8804] by the gatesH8179 of this houseH1004 kingsH4428 sittingH3427[H8802] upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, ridingH7392[H8802] in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, he, and his servantsH5650, and his peopleH5971. |
[4]For if ye do this thing, then shall the kings sitting upon the throne of David enter in by the gates of this house, and ride upon chariots, and upon horses, both he and his servants and his people. |
| [5]But if ye will not hearH8085[H8799] these wordsH1697, I swearH7650[H8738] by myself, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that this houseH1004 shall become a desolationH2723. |
[5]But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall be waste. |
| [6]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 unto the king'sH4428 houseH1004 of JudahH3063; Thou art GileadH1568 unto me, and the headH7218 of LebanonH3844: yet surely I will makeH7896[H8799] thee a wildernessH4057, and citiesH5892 which are not inhabitedH3427[H8738][H8675][H3427].[H8737] |
[6]For thus hath the Lord spoken upon 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 as cities not inhabited, |
| [7]And I will prepareH6942[H8765] destroyersH7843[H8688] against thee, every oneH376 with his weaponsH3627: and they shall cut downH3772[H8804] thy choiceH4005 cedarsH730, and castH5307[H8689] them into the fireH784. |
[7]And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons, and they shall cut down thy chief cedar trees, and cast them in the fire. |
| [8]And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall passH5674[H8804] by this cityH5892, and they shall sayH559[H8804] every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213[H8804] thus unto this greatH1419 cityH5892? |
[8]And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city? |
| [9]Then they shall answerH559[H8804], Because they have forsakenH5800[H8804] the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and worshippedH7812[H8691] otherH312 godsH430, and servedH5647 themH8799. |
[9]Then shall they answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them. |
| [10]WeepH1058[H8799] ye not for the deadH4191[H8801], neither bemoanH5110[H8799] him: but weepH1058[H8798] soreH1058[H8800] for him that goeth awayH1980[H8802]: for he shall returnH7725[H8799] no more, nor seeH7200[H8804] his nativeH4138 countryH776. |
[10]Weep not for the dead, and be not moved for them, but weep for him that goeth out: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country. |
| [11]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 touchingH413 ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, which reignedH4427[H8802] instead of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, which went forthH3318[H8804] out of this placeH4725; He shall not returnH7725 thither any moreH8799: |
[11]For thus saith the Lord, As touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned for Josiah his father, which went out of this place, he shall not return thither, |
| [12]But he shall dieH4191[H8799] in the placeH4725 whither they have led him captiveH1540[H8689], and shall seeH7200[H8799] this land no moreH776. |
[12]But he shall die in the place, whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more. |
| [13]WoeH1945 unto him that buildethH1129[H8802] his houseH1004 byH3808 unrighteousnessH6664, and his chambersH5944 by wrongH4941; that useth his neighbour'sH7453 serviceH5647[H8799] without wagesH2600, and givethH5414[H8799] him not for his workH6467; |
[13]Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers without equity: he useth his neighbor without wages, and giveth him not for his work. |
| [14]That saithH559[H8802], I will buildH1129[H8799] me a wideH4060 houseH1004 and largeH7304[H8794] chambersH5944, and cutteth him outH7167[H8804] windowsH2474; and it is cieledH5603[H8803] with cedarH730, and paintedH4886[H8800] with vermilionH8350. |
[14]He saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers: so he will make himself large windows, and feeling with cedar, and paint them with vermilion. |
| [15]Shalt thou reignH4427[H8799], because thou closestH8474[H8808] thyself in cedarH730? did not thy fatherH1 eatH398[H8804] and drinkH8354[H8804], and doH6213[H8804] judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666, and then it was well with himH2896? |
[15]Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink and prosper, when he executed judgment and justice? |
| [16]He judgedH1777[H8804] the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needyH34; then it was wellH2896 with him: was not this to knowH1847 me? saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
[16]When he judged the cause of the afflicted and the poor, he prospered: was not this because he knew me, saith the Lord? |
| [17]But thine eyesH5869 and thine heartH3820 are not but for thy covetousnessH1215, and for to shedH8210[H8800] innocentH5355 bloodH1818, and for oppressionH6233, and for violenceH4835, to doH6213 itH8800. |
[17]But thine eyes and thine heart are but only for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for destruction, even to do this. |
| [18]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 concerning JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; They shall not lamentH5594[H8799] for him, saying, AhH1945 my brotherH251! or, AhH1945 sisterH269! they shall not lamentH5594[H8799] for him, saying, AhH1945 lordH113! or, AhH1945 his gloryH1935! |
[18]Therefore thus saith the Lord against Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah, They shall not lament him, saying, Ah, my brother, or ah, sister: neither shall they mourn for him, saying, Ah, lord, or ah, his glory. |
| [19]He shall be buriedH6912[H8735] with the burialH6900 of an assH2543, drawnH5498[H8800] and cast forthH7993[H8687] beyondH1973 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389. |
[19]He shall be buried, as an ass is buried, even drawn and cast forth without the gates of Jerusalem. |
| [20]Go upH5927[H8798] to LebanonH3844, and cryH6817[H8798]; and lift upH5414[H8798] thy voiceH6963 in BashanH1316, and cryH6817[H8798] from the passagesH5676: for all thy loversH157[H8764] are destroyedH7665.[H8738] |
[20]Go up to Lebanon, and cry: shout in Bashan and cry by the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed. |
| [21]I spakeH1696[H8765] unto thee in thy prosperityH7962; but thou saidstH559[H8804], I will not hearH8085[H8799]. This hath been thy mannerH1870 from thy youthH5271, that thou obeyedstH8085[H8804] not my voiceH6963. |
[21]I spake unto thee when thou wast in prosperity: but thou saidest, I will not hear: this hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou wouldest not obey my voice. |
| [22]The windH7307 shall eat upH7462[H8799] all thy pastorsH7462[H8802], and thy loversH157[H8764] shall goH3212[H8799] into captivityH7628: surely then shalt thou be ashamedH954[H8799] and confoundedH3637[H8738] for all thy wickednessH7451. |
[22]The wind shall feed all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: and then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded of all thy wickedness. |
| [23]O inhabitantH3427[H8802] of LebanonH3844, that makest thy nestH7077[H8794] in the cedarsH730, how graciousH2603[H8738] shalt thou be when pangsH2256 comeH935[H8800] upon thee, the painH2427 H3205as of a woman in travailH8802 |
[23]Thou that dwellest in Lebanon, and makest thy nest in the cedars, how beautiful shalt thou be when sorrows come upon thee, as the sorrow of a woman in travail? |
| [24]As I liveH2416, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, though ConiahH3659 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 were the signetH2368 upon my rightH3225 handH3027, yet would I pluckH5423 thee thenceH8799; |
[24]As I live, saith the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were the signet of my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence. |
| [25]And I will giveH5414[H8804] thee into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245[H8764] thy lifeH5315, and into the handH3027 of them whose faceH6440 thou fearestH3016[H8801], even into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778. |
[25]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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. |
| [26]And I will cast thee outH2904[H8689], and thy motherH517 that bareH3205[H8804] thee, into anotherH312 countryH776, where ye were not bornH3205[H8795]; and there shall ye dieH4191.[H8799] |
[26]And I will cause them to carry thee away, and thy mother that bear thee, into another country, where ye were not born, and there shall ye die. |
| [27]But to the landH776 whereunto they desireH5375[H8764][H8676][H5315] to returnH7725[H8800], thither shall they not returnH7725.[H8799] |
[27]But to the land, whereunto they desire to return, they shall not return thither. |
| [28]Is this manH376 ConiahH3659 a despisedH959[H8737] brokenH5310[H8803] idolH6089? is he a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656? wherefore are they cast outH7993[H8717], he and his seedH2233, and are castH2904[H8717] into a landH776 which they knowH3045 notH8804? |
[28]Is not this man Coniah as a despised and broken idol? Or as a vessel, wherein is no pleasure? Wherefore are they carried away, he and his seed, and cast out into a land that they know not? |
| [29]O earthH776, earthH776, earthH776, hearH8085[H8798] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. |
[29]O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. |
| [30]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, WriteH3789[H8798] ye this manH376 childlessH6185, a manH1397 that shall not prosperH6743[H8799] in his daysH3117: for no manH376 of his seedH2233 shall prosperH6743[H8799], sittingH3427[H8802] upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and rulingH4910[H8802] any more in JudahH3063. |
[30]Thus saith the Lord, Write this man destitute of children, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for there shall be no man of his seed that shall prosper and sit upon the throne of David, or bear rule anymore in Judah. |
