Jeremiah 22:20-30

20Go upH5927 to LebanonH3844 and cry outH6817; raiseH5414 your voiceH6963 in BashanH1316; cry outH6817 from AbarimH5682, forH3588 allH3605 your loversH157 have been crushedH7665.

21I warnedH1696 youH413 when you were secureH7962.You saidH559, ‘I will notH3808 listenH8085.’ThisH2088 has been your wayH1870 from youthH5271,thatH3588 you have notH3808 obeyedH8085 My voiceH6963.22The windH7307 will drive awayH7462 allH3605 your shepherdsH7462,and your loversH157 will goH1980 H3588 into captivityH7628.ThenH227 you will be ashamedH954 and humiliatedH3637because of allH3605 your wickednessH7451.23O inhabitantH3427 of LebanonH3844,1nestledH7077 in the cedarsH730,howH4100 you will groanH584 when pangs of anguishH2256 comeH935 upon you,agonyH2427 like a woman in laborH3205.”

24“As surely as IH589 liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, “evenH3588 ifH518 you, ConiahH3659 2 sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, wereH1961 a signet ringH2368 onH5921 My rightH3225 H3588 handH3027, I would pull youH5423 offH8033. 25In fact, I will hand you overH5414 H3027 to thoseH834 youH859 dreadH3016 H6440 H3027, who want to takeH1245 your lifeH5315 H3027—to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 H3027 and to the ChaldeansH3778.3 26I will hurlH2904 youH853 andH853 the motherH517 whoH834 gave you birthH3205 intoH5921 anotherH312 landH776, whereH834 neitherH3808 of you were bornH3205—and thereH8033 you both will dieH4191. 27You will neverH3808 returnH7725 toH5921 the landH776 for whichH1992 you longH5375 .”

28Is thisH2088 manH376 ConiahH3659 H518 a despisedH959 and shatteredH5310 potH6089,a jarH3627 that noH369 one wantsH2656?WhyH4069 are heH1931 and his descendantsH2233 hurled outH2904and castH7993 intoH5921 a landH776 they do notH3808 knowH3045?29O landH776, landH776, landH776,hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068!

30This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

“EnrollH3789 thisH2088 manH376 as childlessH6185,a manH1397 who will notH3808 prosperH6743 in his lifetimeH3117 H3588.NoneH3808 H376 of his descendantsH2233 will prosperH6743to sitH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of DavidH1732or to ruleH4910 againH5750 in JudahH3063.”
