Jeremiah 22
1 Thus he said Yahweh go down [the] house of [the] king of Judah and you will speak there the word this.
This is what Yahweh says, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah and proclaim this word there.
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.
Say, 'King of Judah, listen to the word of Yahweh—you who sit on David's throne—you, and your servants, and your people who come through 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.
Yahweh says this, “Perform justice and righteousness, and anyone who has been robbed—rescue him from the hand of the oppressor. Do not mistreat any foreigner in your land, or any orphan or widow. Do not commit violence or pour out innocent blood 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 truly do these things, then kings sitting on David's throne will enter the gates of this house riding in a chariot and on horses, he, 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.
But if you do not listen to these words from me that I have announced—this is Yahweh's declaration—then this royal house will become a ruin.”'
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 Yahweh says this concerning the house of the king of Judah, 'You are like Gilead, or like the summit of Lebanon to me. Yet I will turn you into a wilderness, into cities with no inhabitants.
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.
For I have designated destroyers to come against you! Men with their weapons will cut off the best of your cedars and let them fall into 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.
Then many nations will pass by this city. Each person will say to the next, “Why has Yahweh acted in this way toward 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.
Then the other will answer, “Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God and bowed down to other gods and worshiped 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.
Do not weep for the one who is dead or mourn for him; but weep bitterly for him who is about to go away, because he will never return and see his native land again.'
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 Yahweh says this about Jehoahaz son of Josiah king of Judah, who served as king instead of Josiah his father, 'He has gone from this place and will not come back.
12 For in [the] place where they took into exile him there he will die and the land this not he will see again.
He will die there in the place to where they have exiled him, and he will never again see this land.'
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 builds his house by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, who makes his neighbor work for him for nothing, and he does not give him his wages;
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.
he says, 'I will build for myself a large house with spacious upper rooms.' So he cuts out large windows for it, and he panels it with cedar, and he paints it red.
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.
Is this what makes you a good king, that you wanted to have boards of cedar? Did not your father also eat and drink, yet do justice and righteousness? Then things went well for 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 judged in favor of the poor and needy. It was good then. Is this not what it means to know me?—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 there is nothing in your eyes and heart except worry for your unjust profit and for pouring out innocent blood, for producing oppression and crushing of others.
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 this is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah: They will not lament for him, saying, 'Woe, my brother!' or 'Woe, my sister!' They will not lament for him, saying, 'Woe, master!' or 'Woe, majesty!'
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 will be buried with a donkey's burial, dragged away and thrown out beyond 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 Lebanon's mountains and shout. Lift your voice in Bashan. Shout from the Abarim mountains, for all of your friends will be 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 spoke to you when you were safe, but you said, 'I will not listen.' This was your custom since 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.
The wind will shepherd away all your shepherds, and your friends will go into captivity. Then you will certainly be ashamed and humiliated by all of your evil deeds.
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.
You who live in 'Lebanon,' who is nestled in cedar buildings, how you will be pitied when the labor pains come upon you, pain like that of a woman in labor!”
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—this is Yahweh's declaration—even if you, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were the signet on my right hand, I would tear you off.
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.
For I have given you to the hand of the ones seeking your life and to the hand of those before whom you are afraid, even to the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and 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.
I will throw you and your mother who bore you into another land, a country where you were not born, and there you will die.
27 And to the land where they [will be] lifting desire their to return there there towards not they will return.
About this land to which they will want to return, they will not come back here.
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.
Is this a despised and shattered vessel? Is this man Jehoiachin a pot that pleases no one? Why have they thrown him and his descendants out, and have poured them out into a land that they did not know?
29 O land O land O land hear [the] word of Yahweh.
Land, Land, Land! Hear the word of Yahweh!
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.
Yahweh says this, 'Write about this man Jehoiachin: He will be childless. He will not prosper during his days, and no one among his descendants will achieve success or ever again sit on David's throne and rule over Judah.'”
