Jeremiah 22:1-9

1ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: GoH3381 down to the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and speakH1696 there this wordH1697,

2and sayH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, O kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sittest upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, thou, and thy servantsH5650, and thy peopleH5971 who enter in through these gatesH8179.

3ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Execute judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666, and deliverH5337 the spoiled out of the handH3027 of the oppressorH3238; and do no wrong, do no violenceH2554 to the stranger, the fatherlessH3490, or the widowH490, and shedH8210 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725.

4For if ye do this thingH1697 indeed, then shall there enter in through the gatesH8179 of this houseH1004 kingsH4428 sittingH3427 in the place of DavidH1732 upon his throneH3678, ridingH7392 in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, — he, and his servantsH5650, and his peopleH5971.

5But if ye will not hearH8085 these wordsH1697, I have swornH7650 by myself, saith Jehovah, that this houseH1004 shall becomeH1961 a wasteH2723.

6For thusH3541 saith Jehovah concerning the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063: Thou art a GileadH1568 unto me, the summit of LebanonH3844: verily I will makeH7896 thee a wildernessH4057, citiesH5892 not inhabitedH3427.

7And I will prepare destroyersH7843 against thee, every oneH376 with his weaponsH3627; and they shall cutH3772 down the choice of thy cedarsH730, and castH5307 [them] into the fireH784.

8And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall passH5674 by this cityH5892, and they shall sayH559 every manH376 to his neighbour, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thusH3602 unto this greatH1419 cityH5892?

9And they shall sayH559, Because they have forsaken the covenantH1285 of Jehovah their 1GodH430, and worshipped otherH312 2godsH430, and servedH5647 them.
