22:1 Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Goe
downe
to
the
house
of
the
king
of
Iudah,
and
speake
there
this
word,
22:2 And
say,
Heare
the
word
of
the
Lord,
O
king
of
Iudah,
that
sittest
vpon
the
throne
of
Dauid,
thou,
and
thy
seruants,
and
thy
people
that
enter
in
by
these
gates.
22:3 Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Execute
ye
iudgement
and
righteousnesse,
and
deliuer
the
spoiler
out
of
the
hand
of
the
oppressour:
and
doe
no
wrong,
doe
no
violence
to
the
stranger,
the
fatherlesse,
nor
the
widow,
neither
shed
innocent
blood
in
this
place.
22:4 For
if
ye
doe
this
thing
indeede,
then
shall
there
enter
in
by
the
gates
of
this
house,
Kings
sitting
vpon
the
throne
of
Dauid,
riding
in
charets
and
on
horses,
he,
and
his
seruants,
and
his
people.
22:5 But
if
yee
will
not
heare
these
words,
I
sweare
by
my
selfe,
saith
the
Lord,
that
this
house
shall
become
a
desolation.
22:6 For
thus
saith
the
Lord
vnto
the
kings
house
of
Iudah,
Thou
art
Gilead
vnto
me,
and
the
head
of
Lebanon:
yet
surely
I
will
make
thee
a
wildernesse,
and
cities
which
are
not
inhabited.
22:7 And
I
will
prepare
destroyers
against
thee,
euery
one
with
his
weapons,
and
they
shall
cut
downe
thy
choise
cedars,
and
cast
them
into
the
fire.
22:8 And
many
nations
shall
passe
by
this
citie,
and
they
shall
say
euery
man
to
his
neighbour,
Wherefore
hath
the
Lord
done
thus
vnto
this
great
citie
22:9 Then
they
shall
answere,
Because
they
haue
forsaken
the
couenant
of
the
Lord
their
God,
and
worshipped
other
gods,
and
serued
them.
22:10 Weepe
ye
not
for
the
dead,
neither
bemoane
him,
but
weepe
sore
for
him
that
goeth
away:
for
he
shall
returne
no
more,
nor
see
his
natiue
countrey.
22:11 For
thus
saith
the
Lord
touching
Shallum,
the
sonne
of
Iosiah
king
of
Iudah
which
reigned
in
stead
of
Iosiah
his
father,
which
went
forth
out
of
this
place,
He
shall
not
returne
thither
any
more.
22:12 But
he
shall
die
in
the
place
whither
they
haue
led
him
captiue,
and
shal
see
this
land
no
more.
22:13 Woe
vnto
him
that
buildeth
his
house
by
vnrighteousnesse,
and
his
chambers
by
wrong:
that
vseth
his
neighbours
seruice
without
wages,
and
giueth
him
not
for
his
worke:
22:14 That
saith,
I
will
build
mee
a
wide
house
and
large
chambers,
and
cutteth
him
out
windowes,
and
it
is
sieled
with
cedar,
and
painted
with
vermilion.
22:15 Shalt
thou
reigne
because
thou
closest
thy
selfe
in
cedar
did
not
thy
father
eate
and
drinke,
and
doe
iudgment
and
iustice,
and
then
it
was
wel
with
him
22:16 He
iudged
the
cause
of
the
poore
and
needy,
then
it
was
well
with
him:
was
not
this
to
know
me,
saith
the
Lord
22:17 But
thine
eyes
and
thine
heart
are
not
but
for
thy
couetousnesse,
and
for
to
shed
innocent
blood,
and
for
oppression,
and
for
violence
to
doe
it.
22:18 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
concerning
Iehoiakim
the
sonne
of
Iosiah
king
of
Iudah,
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
glory.
22:19 He
shall
be
buried
with
the
buriall
of
an
asse,
drawen
and
cast
forth
beyond
the
gates
of
Ierusalem.
22:20 Goe
vp
to
Lebanon,
and
crie,
and
lift
vp
thy
voice
in
Bashan,
and
crie
from
the
passages:
for
all
thy
louers
are
destroyed.
22:21 I
spake
vnto
thee
in
thy
prosperitie,
but
thou
saidest,
I
will
not
heare:
this
hath
bin
thy
maner
from
thy
youth,
that
thou
obeyedst
not
my
voice.
22:22 The
winde
shall
eate
vp
all
thy
pastors,
and
thy
louers
shall
goe
into
captiuitie,
surely
then
shalt
thou
be
ashamed
and
confounded
for
all
thy
wickednesse.
22:23 O
inhabitant
of
Lebanon,
that
makest
thy
nest
in
the
Cedars,
how
gracious
shalt
thou
bee
when
pangs
come
vpon
thee,
the
paine
as
of
a
woman
in
trauell
22:24 As
I
liue,
saith
the
Lord,
though
Coniah
the
sonne
of
Iehoiakim
king
of
Iudah
were
the
signet
vpon
my
right
hand,
yet
would
I
plucke
thee
thence.
22:25 And
I
will
giue
thee
into
the
hand
of
them
that
seeke
thy
life,
and
into
the
hand
of
them
whose
face
thou
fearest,
euen
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchad-rezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
into
the
hand
of
the
Caldeans.
22:26 And
I
will
cast
thee
out,
and
thy
mother
that
bare
thee,
into
another
countrey
where
ye
were
not
borne,
and
there
shall
ye
die.
22:27 But
to
the
land
whereunto
they
desire
to
returne,
thither
shall
they
not
returne.
22:28 Is
this
man
Coniah
a
despised
broken
idole
is
hee
a
vessell
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 O
earth,
earth,
earth,
heare
the
word
of
the
Lord:
22:30 Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Write
ye
this
man
childlesse,
a
man
that
shall
not
prosper
in
his
dayes:
for
no
man
of
his
seed
shall
prosper,
sitting
vpon
the
throne
of
Dauid,
and
ruling
any
more
in
Iudah.
