[1] Yahweh said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there: [2] ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates. [3] Yahweh says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place. [4] For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people. [5] But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says Yahweh, “that this house will become a desolation.” ’ ” [6] For Yahweh says concerning the house of the king of Judah:
“You are Gilead to me,
the head of Lebanon.
Yet surely I will make you a wilderness,
cities which are not inhabited.
[7] I will prepare destroyers against you,
everyone with his weapons,
and they will cut down your choice cedars,
and cast them into the fire. [8] “Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this great city?’ [9] Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’ ”
[10] Don’t weep for the dead.
Don’t bemoan him;
but weep bitterly for him who goes away,
for he will return no more,
and not see his native country. [11] For Yahweh says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more. [12] But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
[13] “Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness,
and his rooms by injustice;
who uses his neighbor’s service without wages,
and doesn’t give him his hire;
[14] who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’
and cuts out windows for himself,
with a cedar ceiling,
and painted with red. [15] “Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar?
Didn’t your father eat and drink,
and do justice and righteousness?
Then it was well with him.
[16] He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
so then it was well.
Wasn’t this to know me?”
says Yahweh.
[17] But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness,
for shedding innocent blood,
for oppression, and for doing violence.” [18] Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
“They won’t lament for him,
saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’
They won’t lament for him,
saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
[19] He will be buried with the burial of a donkey,
drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.” [20] “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out.
Lift up your voice in Bashan,
and cry from Abarim;
for all your lovers have been destroyed.
[21] I spoke to you in your prosperity,
but you said, ‘I will not listen.’
This has been your way from your youth,
that you didn’t obey my voice.
[22] The wind will feed all your shepherds,
and your lovers will go into captivity.
Surely then you will be ashamed
and confounded for all your wickedness.
[23] Inhabitant of Lebanon,
who makes your nest in the cedars,
how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you,
the pain as of a woman in travail! [24] “As I live,” says Yahweh, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there. [25] I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. [26] I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die. [27] But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
[28] Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel?
Is he a vessel in which no one delights?
Why are they cast out, he and his offspring,
and cast into a land which they don’t know?
[29] O earth, earth, earth,
hear Yahweh’s word!
[30] Yahweh says,
“Record this man as childless,
a man who will not prosper in his days;
for no more will a man of his offspring prosper,
sitting on David’s throne
and ruling in Judah.”
“You are Gilead to me,
the head of Lebanon.
Yet surely I will make you a wilderness,
cities which are not inhabited.
[7] I will prepare destroyers against you,
everyone with his weapons,
and they will cut down your choice cedars,

King James Version
[1] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 Go downH3381(QalImpv) to the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 and speakH1696(PielPerf) there this word,H1697 [2] And say,H559(QalPerf) HearH8085(QalImpv) the wordH1697 of the Lord,H3068 O kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 that sittestH3427(QalActPtc) upon the throneH3678 of David,H1732 thou, and thy servants,H5650 and thy peopleH5971 that enterH935(QalActPtc) in by these gates:H8179 [3] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord;H3068 ExecuteH6213(QalImpv) ye judgmentH4941 and righteousness,H6666 and deliverH5337(HiphImpv) the spoiledH1497(QalPasPtc) out of the handH3027 of the oppressor:H6216 and do no wrong,H3238(HiphImpf) do no violenceH2554(QalImpf) to the stranger,H1616 the fatherless,H3490 nor the widow,H490 neither shedH8210(QalImpf) innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this place.H4725 [4] For if ye doH6213(QalImpf) this thingH1697 indeed,H6213(QalInf) then shall there enter inH935(QalPerf) by the gatesH8179 of this houseH1004 kingsH4428 sittingH3427(QalActPtc) upon the throneH3678 of David,H1732 ridingH7392(QalActPtc) in chariotsH7393 and on horses,H5483 he, and his servants,H5650 and his people.H5971 [5] But if ye will not hearH8085(QalImpf) these words,H1697 I swearH7650(NiphPerf) by myself, saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 that this houseH1004 shall become a desolation.H2723 [6] For thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 unto the king’sH4428 houseH1004 of Judah;H3063 Thou [art] GileadH1568 unto me, [and] the headH7218 of Lebanon:H3844 [yet] surely I will makeH7896(QalImpf) thee a wilderness,H4057 [and] citiesH5892 [which] are not inhabited.H3427(NiphPerf/Qere) [7] And I will prepareH6942(PielPerf) destroyersH7843(HiphPtc) against thee, every oneH376 with his weapons:H3627 and they shall cut downH3772(QalPerf) thy choiceH4005 cedars,H730 and castH5307(HiphPerf) [them] into the fire.H784 [8] And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall passH5674(QalPerf) by this city,H5892 and they shall sayH559(QalPerf) every manH376 to his neighbour,H7453 Wherefore hath the LordH3068 doneH6213(QalPerf) thus unto this greatH1419 city?H5892 [9] Then they shall answer,H559(QalPerf) Because they have forsakenH5800(QalPerf) the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 their God,H430 and worshippedH7812(HithImpf) otherH312 gods,H430 and servedH5647(QalImpf) them. [10] WeepH1058(QalImpf) ye not for the dead,H4191(QalPtc) neither bemoanH5110(QalImpf) him: [but] weepH1058(QalImpv) soreH1058(QalInf) for him that goeth away:H1980(QalActPtc) for he shall returnH7725(QalImpf) no more, nor seeH7200(QalPerf) his nativeH4138 country.H776 [11] For thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 touchingH413 ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 which reignedH4427(QalActPtc) instead of JosiahH2977 his father,H1 which went forthH3318(QalPerf) out of this place;H4725 He shall not returnH7725(QalImpf) thither any more: [12] But he shall dieH4191(QalImpf) in the placeH4725 whither they have led him captive,H1540(HiphPerf) and shall seeH7200(QalImpf) this landH776 no more. [13] WoeH1945 unto him that buildethH1129(QalActPtc) his houseH1004 byH3808 unrighteousness,H6664 and his chambersH5944 by wrong;H4941 [that] useth his neighbour’sH7453 serviceH5647(QalImpf) without wages,H2600 and givethH5414(QalImpf) him not for his work;H6467 [14] That saith,H559(QalActPtc) I will buildH1129(QalImpf) me a wideH4060 houseH1004 and largeH7304(PualPtc) chambers,H5944 and cutteth him outH7167(QalPerf) windows;H2474 and [it is] cieledH5603(QalPasPtc) with cedar,H730 and paintedH4886(QalInf) with vermilion.H8350 [15] Shalt thou reign,H4427(QalImpf) because thou closestH8474(TiphPtc) [thyself] in cedar?H730 did not thy fatherH1 eatH398(QalPerf) and drink,H8354(QalPerf) and doH6213(QalPerf) judgmentH4941 and justice,H6666 [and] then [it was] wellH2896 with him? [16] He judgedH1777(QalPerf) the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needy;H34 then [it was] wellH2896 [with him: was] not this to knowH1847 me? saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [17] But thine eyesH5869 and thine heartH3820 [are] not but for thy covetousness,H1215 and for to shedH8210(QalInf) innocentH5355 blood,H1818 and for oppression,H6233 and for violence,H4835 to doH6213(QalInf) [it]. [18] Therefore thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH3068 concerning JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of Judah;H3063 They shall not lamentH5594(QalImpf) for him, [saying], AhH1945 my brother!H251 or, AhH1945 sister!H269 they shall not lamentH5594(QalImpf) for him, [saying], AhH1945 lord!H113 or, AhH1945 his glory!H1935 [19] He shall be buriedH6912(NiphImpf) with the burialH6900 of an ass,H2543 drawnH5498(QalInf) and cast forthH7993(HiphInf) beyondH1973 the gatesH8179 of Jerusalem.H3389 [20] Go upH5927(QalImpv) to Lebanon,H3844 and cry;H6817(QalImpv) and lift upH5414(QalImpv) thy voiceH6963 in Bashan,H1316 and cryH6817(QalImpv) from the passages:H5676 for all thy loversH157(PielPtc) are destroyed.H7665(NiphPerf) [21] I spakeH1696(PielPerf) unto thee in thy prosperity;H7962 [but] thou saidst,H559(QalPerf) I will not hear.H8085(QalImpf) This [hath been] thy mannerH1870 from thy youth,H5271 that thou obeyedstH8085(QalPerf) not my voice.H6963 [22] The windH7307 shall eat upH7462(QalImpf) all thy pastors,H7462(QalActPtc) and thy loversH157(PielPtc) shall goH3212(QalImpf) into captivity:H7628 surely then shalt thou be ashamedH954(QalImpf) and confoundedH3637(NiphPerf) for all thy wickedness.H7451 [23] O inhabitantH3427(QalActPtc) of Lebanon,H3844 that makest thy nestH7077(PualPtc) in the cedars,H730 how graciousH2603(NiphPerf) shalt thou be when pangsH2256 comeH935(QalInf) upon thee, the painH2427 as of a woman in travail!H3205(QalActPtc) [24] [As] I live,H2416 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 though ConiahH3659 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 were the signetH2368 upon my rightH3225 hand,H3027 yet would I pluckH5423(QalImpf) thee thence; [25] And I will giveH5414(QalPerf) thee into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245(PielPtc) thy life,H5315 and into the handH3027 [of them] whose faceH6440 thou fearest,H3016(QalPtc) even into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of Babylon,H894 and into the handH3027 of the Chaldeans.H3778 [26] And I will cast thee out,H2904(HiphPerf) and thy motherH517 that bareH3205(QalPerf) thee, into anotherH312 country,H776 where ye were not born;H3205(PualPerf) and there shall ye die.H4191(QalImpf) [27] But to the landH776 whereunto they desireH5375(PielPtc/Ketiv) to return,H7725(QalInf) thither shall they not return.H7725(QalImpf) [28] [Is] this manH376 ConiahH3659 a despisedH959(NiphPtc) brokenH5310(QalPasPtc) idol?H6089 [is he] a vesselH3627 wherein [is] no pleasure?H2656 wherefore are they cast out,H7993(HophPerf) he and his seed,H2233 and are castH2904(HophPerf) into a landH776 which they knowH3045(QalPerf) not? [29] O earth,H776 earth,H776 earth,H776 hearH8085(QalImpv) the wordH1697 of the Lord.H3068 [30] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 WriteH3789(QalImpv) ye this manH376 childless,H6185 a manH1397 [that] shall not prosperH6743(QalImpf) in his days:H3117 for no manH376 of his seedH2233 shall prosper,H6743(QalImpf) sittingH3427(QalActPtc) upon the throneH3678 of David,H1732 and rulingH4910(QalActPtc) any more in Judah.H3063
