Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "Goh3381 downh3381 to the househ1004 of the kingh4428 of Judahh3063, and thereh8033 speakh1696 thish2088 wordh1697

2

and sayh559, `Hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068, O kingh4428 of Judahh3063, who  asitsh3427 on David'sh1732 throneh3678, you and your servantsh5650 and your peopleh5971a who enterh935 theseh428 gatesh8179.

3

`Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aDoh6213a justiceh4941 and righteousnessh6666, and deliverh5337 the one who has been robbedh1497 from the powerh3027 of his  boppressorh6216. Also  cdo not mistreath3238 or doh2554 violenceh2554 to the strangerh1616, the orphanh3490, or the widowh490; and do not  dshedh8210 innocenth5355a bloodh1818 in thish2088 placeh4725.

4

"For ifh518 you men will indeedh6213a performh6213a thish2088 thingh1697, then  akingsh4428 will enterh935 the gatesh8179 of thish2088 househ1004, sittingh3427  1in David'sh1732 place on his throneh3678, ridingh7392 in chariotsh7393 and on horsesh5483b, even the king himselfh1931 and his servantsh5650 and his peopleh5971a.

5

aBut ifh518 you will not obeyh8085 theseh428 wordsh1697, I  bswearh7650 by Myself," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "that thish2088 househ1004 will becomeh1961 a desolationh2723.""'

6

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 concerningh5921 the househ1004 of the kingh4428 of Judahh3063: "You are like  aGileadh1568 to Me, Like the summith7218 of Lebanonh3844; Yet mosth518h3808 assuredlyh518h3808 I will makeh7896 you like a  bwildernessh4057b, Like citiesh5892b which are not inhabitedh3427.

7

"For I will seth6942 aparth6942  adestroyersh7843 againsth5921 you, Eachh376 with his weaponsh3627; And they will  bcuth3772 downh3772 your choicesth4005 cedarsh730 And  cthrowh5307 them on the fireh784.

8

"Manyh7227a nationsh1471 will passh5674a by thish384 cityh5892b; and they will  asayh559 to oneh376 anotherh7453, `Whyh5921h4100 has the LORDh3068 doneh6213a thush3602 to thish384 greath1419 cityh5892b?'

9

"Then they will  1answerh559, `Becauseh5921h834 they  aforsookh5800a the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068 their Godh430 and bowedh7812 downh7812 to otherh312 godsh430 and servedh5647 them.' "

10

 aDo not weeph1058 for the deadh4191 or mournh5110 for him, But weeph1058 continuallyh1058 for the one who goesh1980 away; For  bhe will neverh3808h5750 returnh7725 Or seeh7200 his nativeh4138 landh776.

11

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 in regardh413 to  1 aShallumh7967 the sonh1121 of Josiahh2977, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, who becameh4427a kingh4427a in the placeh8478 of Josiahh2977 his fatherh1, whoh834 wenth3318 forthh3318 from thish2088 placeh4725, "He will neverh3808h5750 returnh7725 thereh8033;

12

but in the placeh4725 whereh834h8033 they ledh1540 him captiveh1540, thereh8033 he will  adieh4191 and not seeh7200 thish384 landh776 againh5750.

14

Who saysh559, `I will  abuildh1129 myself a roomyh4060a househ1004 With spacioush7304  1upperh5944 roomsh5944, And cuth7167 out its windowsh2474,  2Panelingh5603 it with  bcedarh730 and paintingh4886 it  3brighth8350 redh8350.'

15

"Do you becomeh4427a a kingh4427a becauseh3588 you are competingh2734 in cedarh730? Did not your fatherh1 eath398 and drinkh8354 And  adoh6213a justiceh4941 and righteousnessh6666? Thenh227 it was  bwellh2895 with him.

16

"He pledh1777 the causeh1779 of the  aafflictedh6041 and needyh34; Thenh227 it was wellh2895.  bIs not that what it means to knowh1847 Me?" Declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

"He will be  aburiedh6912 with a donkey'sh2543 burialh6900, Draggedh5498 off and thrownh7993 out beyondh4480h1973 the gatesh8179 of Jerusalemh3389.

20

"Goh5927 up to Lebanonh3844 and cryh6817 out, And lifth5414 up your voiceh6963 in Bashanh1316; Cryh6817 out also from  aAbarimh5682, For allh3605 your  bloversh157 have been crushedh7665.

21

"I spokeh1696 to you in your prosperityh7962; But  ayou saidh559, `I will not listenh8085!'  bThish2088 has been your practiceh1870  cfrom your youthh5271, That you have not obeyedh8085 My voiceh6963.

22

"The windh7307 will sweeph7462a awayh7462a allh3605 your  ashepherdsh7462a, And your  bloversh157 will goh1980 into captivityh7628b; Thenh227 you will surelyh3588 be  cashamedh954 and humiliatedh3637 Becauseh4480 of allh3605 your wickednessh7463a.

23

"You who dwellh3427 in Lebanonh3844, Nestedh7077 in the cedarsh730, Howh4100 you will groanh2603a when pangsh2256b comeh935 upon you,  aPainh2427 like a woman in childbirthh3205!

24

"As I liveh2416a," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "evenh3588 thoughh518  1 aConiahh3078 the sonh1121 of Jehoiakimh3079 kingh4428 of Judahh3063 were a  bsigneth2368 ring on My righth3225 handh3027, yeth3588 I would pullh5423  1you  2offh5423;

25

and I will  agiveh5414 you over into the handh3027 of those who are seekingh1245 your lifeh5315, yes, into the handh3027 of those whomh834 you dreadh3016, even into the handh3027 of Nebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894 and into the handh3027 of the Chaldeansh3778.

26

"I will  ahurlh2904 you and your  bmotherh517 whoh834 boreh3205 you into anotherh312 countryh776 whereh834h8033 you were not bornh3205, and thereh8033 you will dieh4191.

27

"But as for the landh776 to whichh834 they desireh5375h5315 to returnh7725, they will not returnh7725 to it.

28

"Is thish2088 manh376 Coniahh3078 a despisedh959, shatteredh5310a jarh6089b? Orh518 is he an  aundesirableh369h2656 vesselh3627? Whyh4069 have he and his descendantsh2233 been  bhurledh2904 out And casth7993 into a  clandh776 that they had not knownh3045?

29

aO landh776, landh776, landh776, Hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068!

30

"Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, `Writeh3789 thish2088 manh1397 downh3789  achildlessh6185, A manh1397 who will  bnot prosperh6743b in his daysh3117; For noh3808 manh376 of his  cdescendantsh2233 will prosperh6743b Sittingh3427 on the throneh3678 of Davidh1732 Or rulingh4910 againh5750 in Judahh3063.'
