Jeremiah 22:20-30

20Go upH5927 to LebanonH3844, and cryH6817; and lift upH5414 thy voiceH6963 in BashanH1316, and cryH6817 from the passagesH5676: for all thy loversH157 are destroyedH7665. 21I spakeH1696 unto thee in thy prosperityH7962; but thou saidstH559, I will not hearH8085. This hath been thy mannerH1870 from thy youthH5271, that thou obeyedstH8085 not my voiceH6963.1 22The windH7307 shall eat upH7462 all thy pastorsH7462, and thy loversH157 shall goH3212 into captivityH7628: surely then shalt thou be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637 for all thy wickednessH7451. 23O inhabitantH3427 of LebanonH3844, that makest thy nestH7077 in the cedarsH730, how graciousH2603 shalt thou be when pangsH2256 comeH935 upon thee, the painH2427 as of a woman in travailH3205!2 24As I liveH2416, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, though ConiahH3659 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 were the signetH2368 upon my rightH3225 handH3027, yet would I pluckH5423 thee thence; 25And I will giveH5414 thee into the handH3027 of them that seekH1245 thy lifeH5315, and into the handH3027 of them whose faceH6440 thou fearestH3016, even into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778. 26And I will cast thee outH2904, and thy motherH517 that bareH3205 thee, into anotherH312 countryH776, where ye were not bornH3205; and there shall ye dieH4191. 27But to the landH776 whereunto they desireH5315H5375 to returnH7725, thither shall they not returnH7725.3 28Is this manH376 ConiahH3659 a despisedH959 brokenH5310 idolH6089? is he a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656? wherefore are they cast outH7993, he and his seedH2233, and are castH2904 into a landH776 which they knowH3045 not? 29O earthH776, earthH776, earthH776, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068. 30Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, WriteH3789 ye this manH376 childlessH6185, a manH1397 that shall not prosperH6743 in his daysH3117: for no manH376 of his seedH2233 shall prosperH6743, sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and rulingH4910 any more in JudahH3063.
