The LORD said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there: Jer 34:21Ki 21:18-201Sa 15:16-232Ch 19:2-32Ch 25:15-162Ch 33:102Sa 12:12Sa 24:11-12 ‘Hear the LORD’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates. Luk 1:32Isa 1:10Isa 9:7Jer 22:41Ki 22:19Amo 7:16Ezk 34:7Isa 28:14 The LORD says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place. Jer 21:12Jer 22:17Mic 6:8Jas 1:27Ezk 22:7Isa 1:15-20Mal 3:5Zec 7:9-11 For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people. Jer 17:25 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says the LORD, “that this house will become a desolation.”’” Amo 6:8Gen 22:16Heb 6:13Jer 17:27Deu 32:40-42Isa 1:20Jer 26:6-9Jer 39:8
For the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: Isa 6:11Psa 107:34Isa 27:10Jer 9:11Mic 3:12Gen 37:25Jer 26:18Jer 7:34
“You are Gilead to me,
the head of Lebanon.
Yet surely I will make you a wilderness,
cities which are not inhabited.
I will prepare destroyers against you, Isa 10:33-34Isa 37:24Jer 4:6-7Ezk 9:1-7Isa 13:3-5Jer 21:14Isa 10:3-7Isa 27:10-11
everyone with his weapons,
and they will cut down your choice cedars,
and cast them into the fire.
“Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this great city?’ 1Ki 9:8-92Ch 7:20-22Deu 29:23-26Lam 2:15-17Dan 9:7Jer 16:10Lam 4:12 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’” 2Ch 34:252Ki 22:17Deu 29:25-28Jer 2:17-19Jer 40:2-3Jer 50:7
Don’t weep for the dead. Ecc 4:2Jer 22:11Isa 57:1Lam 4:92Ch 35:23-252Ki 22:202Ki 23:30-34Jer 22:18
Don’t bemoan him;
but weep bitterly for him who goes away,
for he will return no more,
and not see his native country.
For the LORD says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more. 1Ch 3:152Ch 36:1-42Ki 23:342Ch 28:122Ch 34:222Ki 23:31 But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.” 2Ki 23:34Jer 22:18
“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, Jas 5:4Lev 19:13Mic 3:10Deu 24:14-15Mal 3:5Hab 2:9-112Ch 36:4Jer 22:18
and his rooms by injustice;
who uses his neighbor’s service without wages,
and doesn’t give him his hire;
who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ 2Sa 7:2Hag 1:4Isa 5:8-92Ch 3:5Dan 4:30Isa 9:9Luk 14:28-29Mal 1:4
and cuts out windows for himself,
with a cedar ceiling,
and painted with red.
“Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? 2Ki 23:25Isa 3:10Ecc 10:17Pro 25:5Pro 29:42Ki 22:2Psa 128:1-21Ki 10:9
Didn’t your father eat and drink,
and do justice and righteousness?
Then it was well with him.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; Jer 9:241Jn 2:3-4Isa 1:17Tit 1:16Jhn 17:3Psa 72:1-4Psa 72:12-13Jer 9:16
so then it was well.
Wasn’t this to know me?”
says the LORD.
But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, 2Ki 24:42Pe 2:14Ezk 19:6Jer 22:3Ezk 33:31Psa 10:31Co 6:101Ki 21:19
for shedding innocent blood,
for oppression, and for doing violence.”
Therefore the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: 1Ki 13:30Jer 16:6Jer 16:4Jer 22:102Ch 21:19-202Ch 35:252Sa 1:262Sa 3:33-38
“They won’t lament for him,
saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’
They won’t lament for him,
saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’
He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, Jer 36:301Ki 21:23-241Ki 14:102Ch 36:62Ki 9:35Jer 15:3Jer 36:6
drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
“Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Num 27:12Ezk 23:22Lam 1:22Ki 24:7Deu 32:49Ezk 23:9Isa 20:5-6Isa 30:1-7
Lift up your voice in Bashan,
and cry from Abarim;
for all your lovers have been destroyed.
I spoke to you in your prosperity, Jer 32:30Jer 3:25Jer 7:22-28Ezk 23:3-39Isa 48:8Pro 30:9Ezk 20:8Jer 35:15
but you said, ‘I will not listen.’
This has been your way from your youth,
that you didn’t obey my voice.
The wind will feed all your shepherds, Ezk 34:2-10Hos 13:15Jer 10:21Jer 12:10Jer 23:1-2Jer 5:30-31Zec 11:17Isa 64:6
and your lovers will go into captivity.
Surely then you will be ashamed
and confounded for all your wickedness.
Inhabitant of Lebanon, Jer 6:24Jer 22:6Jer 4:30-31Amo 9:2Hab 2:9Hos 5:15Hos 7:14Jer 21:13
who makes your nest in the cedars,
how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you,
the pain as of a woman in travail!
“As I live,” says the LORD, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there. Jer 37:11Ch 3:16Sng 8:62Ki 24:6-8Hag 2:23Jer 22:28Jer 22:6Mat 1:11-12 I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. Jer 21:7Jer 34:20-212Ki 24:15-16Jer 22:28Jer 38:16Pro 10:24 I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die. 2Ki 24:152Ki 24:8Isa 22:17Jer 15:2-42Ch 36:9-10Ezk 19:9-14 But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.” Jer 44:142Ki 25:27-30Jer 22:11Jer 52:31-34Psa 86:4
Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Hos 8:8Psa 31:12Jer 48:38Jer 22:301Ch 3:17-241Sa 5:3-52Sa 5:212Ti 2:20-21
Is he a vessel in which no one delights?
Why are they cast out, he and his offspring,
and cast into a land which they don’t know?
O earth, earth, earth, Deu 32:1Mic 1:2Jer 6:19Isa 1:1-2Mic 6:1-2Isa 34:1Deu 31:19Deu 4:26
hear the LORD’s word!
The LORD says, Jer 36:30Psa 94:20Mat 1:11-161Ch 3:16-17Jer 10:21Luk 1:32-33
“Record this man as childless,
a man who will not prosper in his days;
for no more will a man of his offspring prosper,
sitting on David’s throne
and ruling in Judah.”
