Jeremiah 22
1 Thus he said Yahweh go down [the] house of [the] king of Judah and you will speak there the word this.
Thus said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,
2 And you will say hear [the] word of Yahweh O king of Judah who sits on [the] throne of David you and servants your and people your who come in the gates these.
Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at these gates,”
3 Thus - he says Yahweh do justice and righteousness and deliver [one who] has been robbed from [the] hand of an oppressor and sojourner fatherless and widow may not you maltreat may not you treat violently and blood innocent may not you shed in the place this.
Thus said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed in this place.
4 That except certainly you will do the thing this and they will go in [the] gates of the house this kings [who] sit for David on throne his [who] ride in chariot[s] and on horses he (and servants his *Q(K)*) and people his.
For if you certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
5 And if not you will listen to the words these by myself I swear [the] utterance of Yahweh that a ruin it will become the house this.
And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for a desolation.”
6 For thus - he says Yahweh on [the] house of [the] king of Judah [are] Gilead you to me [the] top of Lebanon if not I will make you a wilderness cities [which] not (they are inhabited. *Q(K)*)
For thus said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are not inhabited.
7 And I will consecrate on you destroyers everyone and weapons his and they will cut down [the] choicest of cedars your and they will cast [them] on the fire.
And I have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on the fire.”
8 And they will pass by nations many at the city this and they will say each to neighbor his concerning what? did he do Yahweh thus to the city great this.
And many nations have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?”
9 And they will say on that they forsook [the] covenant of Yahweh God their and they bowed down to gods other and they served them.
And they have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.”
10 May not you weep for [the] dead and may not you show sympathy to him weep continually for one [who] is about to go away for not he will return again and he will see [the] land of kindred his.
You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.
11 For thus he says Yahweh to Shallum [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah who is reigning in place of Josiah father his who he went forth from the place this not he will return there again.
For thus said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;
12 For in [the] place where they took into exile him there he will die and the land this not he will see again.
For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.
13 Woe to! [one who] builds house his with not righteousness and upper rooms his with not justice by fellow-citizen his he works without paying and wage[s] his not he gives to him.
Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.
14 The [one who] says I will build for myself a house of size and upper rooms spacious and he will tear for himself windows my and paneled with cedar and he will smear [it] with vermilion.
Who is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.
15 ¿ Are you king for you [are] competing in cedar father your ¿ not did he eat and did he drink? and did he do? justice and righteousness then it was well for him.
Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
16 He defended [the] cause of [the] poor and [the] needy then was well ¿ not [is] that the knowledge me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
17 That [are] not eyes your and heart your that except on unjust gain your and on [the] blood of the innocent [person] to shed [it] and on oppression and on extortion to do [it].
“But your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”
18 Therefore thus he says Yahweh to Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah not people will mourn for him alas! O brother my and alas! O sister not people will mourn for him alas! O lord and alas! (splendor his. *Q(K)*)
Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!
19 [the] burial of A donkey he will be buried people will drag and people will throw out from beyond [the] gates of Jerusalem.
He is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Go up Lebanon and cry out and in Bashan give forth voice your and cry out from Abarim for they have been broken all lovers your.
Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been destroyed.
21 I spoke to you in prosperity your you said not I will listen this [has been] way your since youth your that not you have listened to voice my.
I have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to My voice.
22 All shepherds your it will shepherd a wind and lovers your in captivity they will go for then you will be ashamed and you will be humiliated from all wickedness your.
Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your wickedness.
23 (O [you who] dwell *Q(K)*) in Lebanon ([who is] nested *Q(k)*) among the cedars how! you will groan when will come to you labor-pains anguish like [woman] giving birth.
O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”
24 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of Yahweh that except he will be Coniah [the] son of Jehoiakim [the] king of Judah a signet-ring on [the] hand of right my for from there I will pull off you.
“[As] I live,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,
25 And I will give you in [the] hand of [those who] seek life your and in [the] hand of [those] whom you [are] fearful of them and in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and in [the] hand of the Chaldeans.
And I have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 And I will throw out you and mother your who she bore you to the land another where not you were born there and there you will die.
And I have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.
27 And to the land where they [will be] lifting desire their to return there there towards not they will return.
And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”
28 ¿ A pot despised smashed [is] the man this Coniah or? a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it why? have they been thrown out he and offspring his and have they been thrown? to the land which not they knew.
A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?
29 O land O land O land hear [the] word of Yahweh.
Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!
30 Thus - he says Yahweh record the man this childless a man [who] not he will prosper in days his for not he will prosper any of offspring his anyone [will be] sitting on [the] throne of David and ruling again over Judah.
Thus said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”
