  22:1 ¶
Thus saith the Lord; Go thou, and go down to the house of the king of Judah{gr.Juda}, and thou shalt speak there this word, |
|
22:1 ¶
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Go down°°
to the house°
of the king°
of Judah,°
and speak°°
there°°
this°
word,° |
|
22:2
and thou shalt say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah{gr.Juda}, that sittest on the throne of David, thou, and thy house, and thy people, and they that go in at these gates: |
|
22:2
And say,°°
Hear°°
the word°
of Yahweh,°
O king°
of Judah,°
that sittest°°
upon°
the throne°
of David,°
thou,°
and thy servants,°
and thy people°
that enter°°
in by these°
gates:° |
|
22:3
thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place. |
|
22:3
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
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.° |
|
22:4
For if ye will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people. |
|
22:4
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.° |
|
22:5
But if ye will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation. |
|
22:5
But if°
ye will not°
hear°°°
these°
words,°
I swear°°
by myself, saith°°
Yahweh,°
that°
this°
house°
shall become°
a desolation.° |
|
22:6
For thus saith the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah{gr.Juda}; Thou art Gilead{gr.Galaad} to me, [and] the head of Lebanon{gr.Libanus}: [yet] surely I will make thee a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited: |
|
22:6
For°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
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.°°°° |
|
22:7
and I will bring upon thee a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire. |
|
22:7
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.° |
|
22:8
And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city? |
|
22:8
And many°
nations°
shall pass°°
by°
this°
city,°
and they shall say°°
every man°
to°
his neighbour,°
Wherefore°°
hath Yahweh°
done°°
thus°
unto this°
great°
city?° |
|
22:9
And they shall say Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them. |
|
22:9
Then they shall answer,°°
Because°°
they have forsaken°°°
the covenant°
of Yahweh°
their Elohim,°
and worshipped°°
other°
elohim,°
and served°°
them. |
|
22:10 ¶
Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land. |
|
22:10 ¶
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.° |
|
22:11
For thus saith the Lord concerning Shallum{gr.Sellem} the son of Josiah{gr.Josias}, who reigns in the place of Josiah{gr.Josias} his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more: |
|
22:11
For°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
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:° |
|
22:12
but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more. |
|
22:12
But°
he shall die°°
in the place°
whither°°
they have led him captive,°°°
and shall see°°
this°
land°
no°
more.° |
|
22:13 ¶
He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbour for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward. |
|
22:13 ¶
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;° |
|
22:14
Thou hast built for thyself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion. |
|
22:14
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.° |
|
22:15
Shalt thou reign, because thou art provoked with thy father Ahaz{gr.Achaz}? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for thee to execute judgment and justice. |
|
22:15
Shalt thou reign,°°
because°
thou°
closest°°
[thyself] in cedar?°
did not°
thy father°
eat°°
and drink,°°
and do°°
judgment°
and justice,°
[and] then°
[it was] well°
with him? |
|
22:16
They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this thy not knowing me? saith the Lord. |
|
22:16
He judged°°
the cause°
of the poor°
and needy;°
then°
[it was] well°
[with him: was] not°
this°
to know°
me? saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
22:17
Behold, thine eyes are not good, nor thine heart, but [they go] after thy covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them. |
|
22:17
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]. |
|
22:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim{gr.Joakim} son of Josiah{gr.Josias}, king of Judah{gr.Juda}, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord. |
|
22:18
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
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°
adon!°
or, Ah°
his glory!° |
|
22:19
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem. |
|
22:19
He shall be buried°°
with the burial°
of an ass,°
drawn°°
and cast forth°°
beyond°°
the gates°
of Jerusalem.° |
|
22:20 ¶
Go up to Lebanon{gr.Libanus}, and cry; and utter thy voice to Bashan{gr.Basan}, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all thy lovers are destroyed. |
|
22:20 ¶
Go up°°
to Lebanon,°
and cry;°°
and lift up°°
thy voice°
in Bashan,°
and cry°°
from the passages:°°
for°
all°
thy lovers°°
are destroyed.°° |
|
22:21
I spoke to thee on [occasion of] thy trespass, but thou saidst, I will not hearken. This [has been] thy way from thy youth, thou hast not hearkened to my voice. |
|
22:21
I spake°°
unto°
thee in thy prosperity;°
[but] thou saidst,°°
I will not°
hear.°°
This°
[hath been] thy manner°
from thy youth,°°
that°
thou obeyedst°°
not°
my voice.° |
|
22:22
The wind shall tend all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; for then shalt thou be ashamed and disgraced because of all thy lovers. |
|
22:22
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.° |
|
22:23
O thou that dwellest in Lebanon{gr.Libanus}, making thy nest in the cedars, thou shalt groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon thee. |
|
22:23
O inhabitant°°
of Lebanon,°
that makest thy nest°°
in the cedars,°
how°
gracious°°
shalt thou be when pangs°
come°°
upon thee, the pain°
as of a woman in travail!°° |
|
22:24
[As] I live, saith the Lord, though Jeconiah{gr.Jechonias} son of Jehoiakim{gr.Joakim} king of Judah{gr.Juda} were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck thee; |
|
22:24
[As] I°
live,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
though°°
Coniah°
the son°
of Jehoiakim°
king°
of Judah°
were°
the signet°
upon°
my right°
hand,°
yet°
would I pluck°°
thee thence;°° |
|
22:25
and I will deliver thee into the hands of them that seek thy life, before whom thou art afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans. |
|
22:25
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 Nebuchadrezzar°
king°
of Babylon,°
and into the hand°
of the Chaldeans.° |
|
22:26
And I will cast forth thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a land where thou wast not born; and there ye shall die. |
|
22:26
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.°° |
|
22:27
But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls. |
|
22:27
But to°
the land°
whereunto°°
they°
desire°°°°°
to return,°°
thither°
shall they not°
return.°° |
|
22:28
Jeconiah{gr.Jechonias} is dishonoured as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not. |
|
22:28
[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?° |
|
22:29
Land, land, hear the word of the Lord. |
|
22:29
O earth,°
earth,°
earth,°
hear°°
the word°
of Yahweh.° |
|
22:30
Write ye this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Judah{gr.Juda}. |
|
22:30
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
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.° |
