22:1 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"Go
down
to
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah
and
speak
there
this
word,
22:2 and
say,
'Hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
O
king
of
Judah,
who
sits
on
the
throne
of
David,
you,
and
your
servants,
and
your
people
who
enter
these
gates.
22:3 Thus
says
the
LORD:
Do
justice
and
righteousness,
and
deliver
from
the
hand
of
the
oppressor
him
who
has
been
robbed.
And
do
no
wrong
or
violence
to
the
resident
alien,
the
fatherless,
and
the
widow,
nor
shed
innocent
blood
in
this
place.
22:4 For
if
you
will
indeed
obey
this
word,
then
there
shall
enter
the
gates
of
this
house
kings
who
sit
on
the
throne
of
David,
riding
in
chariots
and
on
horses,
they
and
their
servants
and
their
people.
22:5 But
if
you
will
not
obey
these
words,
I
swear
by
myself,
declares
the
LORD,
that
this
house
shall
become
a
desolation.
22:6 For
thus
says
the
LORD
concerning
the
house
of
the
king
of
Judah:
"'You
are
like
Gilead
to
me,
like
the
summit
of
Lebanon,
yet
surely
I
will
make
you
a
desert,
an
uninhabited
city.
22:7 I
will
prepare
destroyers
against
you,
each
with
his
weapons,
and
they
shall
cut
down
your
choicest
cedars
and
cast
them
into
the
fire.
22:8 "'And
many
nations
will
pass
by
this
city,
and
every
man
will
say
to
his
neighbor,
"Why
has
the
LORD
dealt
thus
with
this
great
city"
22:9 And
they
will
answer,
"Because
they
have
forsaken
the
covenant
of
the
LORD
their
God
and
worshiped
other
gods
and
served
them."'"
22:10 Weep
not
for
him
who
is
dead,
nor
grieve
for
him,
but
weep
bitterly
for
him
who
goes
away,
for
he
shall
return
no
more
to
see
his
native
land.
22:11 For
thus
says
the
LORD
concerning
Shallum
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
who
reigned
instead
of
Josiah
his
father,
and
who
went
away
from
this
place:
"He
shall
return
here
no
more,
22:12 but
in
the
place
where
they
have
carried
him
captive,
there
shall
he
die,
and
he
shall
never
see
this
land
again."
22:13 "Woe
to
him
who
builds
his
house
by
unrighteousness,
and
his
upper
rooms
by
injustice,
who
makes
his
neighbor
serve
him
for
nothing
and
does
not
give
him
his
wages,
22:14 who
says,
'I
will
build
myself
a
great
house
with
spacious
upper
rooms,'
who
cuts
out
windows
for
it,
paneling
it
with
cedar
and
painting
it
with
vermilion.
22:15 Do
you
think
you
are
a
king
because
you
compete
in
cedar
Did
not
your
father
eat
and
drink
and
do
justice
and
righteousness
Then
it
was
well
with
him.
22:16 He
judged
the
cause
of
the
poor
and
needy;
then
it
was
well.
Is
not
this
to
know
me
declares
the
LORD.
22:17 But
you
have
eyes
and
heart
only
for
your
dishonest
gain,
for
shedding
innocent
blood,
and
for
practicing
oppression
and
violence."
22:18 Therefore
thus
says
the
LORD
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,
lord!'
or
'Ah,
his
majesty!'
22:19 With
the
burial
of
a
donkey
he
shall
be
buried,
dragged
and
dumped
beyond
the
gates
of
Jerusalem."
22:20 "Go
up
to
Lebanon,
and
cry
out,
and
lift
up
your
voice
in
Bashan;
cry
out
from
Abarim,
for
all
your
lovers
are
destroyed.
22:21 I
spoke
to
you
in
your
prosperity,
but
you
said,
'I
will
not
listen.'
This
has
been
your
way
from
your
youth,
that
you
have
not
obeyed
my
voice.
22:22 The
wind
shall
shepherd
all
your
shepherds,
and
your
lovers
shall
go
into
captivity;
then
you
will
be
ashamed
and
confounded
because
of
all
your
evil.
22:23 O
inhabitant
of
Lebanon,
nested
among
the
cedars,
how
you
will
be
pitied
when
pangs
come
upon
you,
pain
as
of
a
woman
in
labor!"
22:24 "As
I
live,
declares
the
LORD,
though
Coniah
the
son
of
Jehoiakim,
king
of
Judah,
were
the
signet
ring
on
my
right
hand,
yet
I
would
tear
you
off
22:25 and
give
you
into
the
hand
of
those
who
seek
your
life,
into
the
hand
of
those
of
whom
you
are
afraid,
even
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
and
into
the
hand
of
the
Chaldeans.
22:26 I
will
hurl
you
and
the
mother
who
bore
you
into
another
country,
where
you
were
not
born,
and
there
you
shall
die.
22:27 But
to
the
land
to
which
they
will
long
to
return,
there
they
shall
not
return."
22:28 Is
this
man
Coniah
a
despised,
broken
pot,
a
vessel
no
one
cares
for
Why
are
he
and
his
children
hurled
and
cast
into
a
land
that
they
do
not
know
22:29 O
land,
land,
land,
hear
the
word
of
the
LORD!
22:30 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"Write
this
man
down
as
childless,
a
man
who
shall
not
succeed
in
his
days,
for
none
of
his
offspring
shall
succeed
in
sitting
on
the
throne
of
David
and
ruling
again
in
Judah."
