Jeremia 22:13-30
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
13 ”Ve den som bygger sitt hus
med orättfärdighet
och sina övre salar med orätt,
som låter sin nästa arbeta för ingenting
och inte ger honom någon lön,
14 den som säger:
’Jag ska bygga mig ett stort palats
med rymliga övre salar
och göra många fönster,
klä det med cederpanel
och måla det rött.’
15 Är det att vara kung,
att stoltsera med cederträ?
Tänk på din far: han åt och drack
och gjorde det som var rätt och rättfärdigt,
och allt gick honom väl.
16 Han värnade om den fattige och skaffade rätt åt den behövande,
och det gick väl för honom.
Är inte detta att känna mig?
säger Herren.
17 Men dina ögon och tankar
är bara inriktade på oärlig vinning
och att utgjuta oskyldigt blod,
och på förtryck och våld.”
18 Därför säger Herren så om kung Jojakim, Josias son, Juda kung:
”Ingen ska hålla dödsklagan över honom:
’Min broder, min syster!’
Ingen ska hålla dödsklagan över honom:
’Min herre, all hans prakt!’
19 Han kommer att begravas som en åsna,
släpas ut och kastas utanför Jerusalems portar.”
20 ”Gå upp på Libanon och ropa,
höj din röst i Bashan!
Ropa högt från Avarim,
för alla dina älskare är krossade.
21 När du levde i fred talade jag till dig,
men du svarade: ’Jag vill inte lyssna.’
Sådan var du sedan din ungdom,
du har aldrig velat lyssna på mig.
22 Alla dina herdar
ska föras bort av vinden.
Dina älskare
ska föras bort i exil.
Du ska få stå där i skam och förödmjukelse
för all din ondskas skull.
23 Du som bor på ’Libanon’[a]
och har ditt näste bland cedrarna,
hur ska du inte jämra dig,
när värkarna kommer över dig,
som en kvinna när hon ska föda.
24 Så sant jag lever, säger Herren, även om du Konja, son till kung Jojakim av Juda, var sigillringen på min högra hand, skulle jag slita av den. 25 Jag ska överlämna dig till dem som är ute efter ditt liv, till dem som du är så rädd för, nämligen Nebukadnessar, kungen av Babylonien, och kaldéerna. 26 Dig själv och din mor, som födde dig, ska jag slunga iväg till ett annat land, där ni inte är födda, och där ska ni dö. 27 De ska aldrig mer återvända till sin längtans land.”
28 Är då denne Konja ett värdelöst, krossat kärl, en kruka som ingen vill ha? Varför kastas han och hans barn bort till ett land som är okänt för dem?
29 O, land, land, land! Hör Herrens ord! 30 Så säger Herren: ”Registrera denne man som barnlös, som en man som inte lyckades med något under sin livstid. För inget av hans barn ska lyckas uppnå att sitta på Davids tron och regera i Juda.”

Jeremiah 22:13-30
English Standard Version
13 (A)“Woe to him who builds his house by (B)unrighteousness,
and his upper rooms by injustice,
(C)who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing
and does not give him his wages,
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a great house
with spacious upper rooms,’
who cuts out windows for it,
paneling it with cedar
and (D)painting it with vermilion.
15 Do you think you are a king
because you compete in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink
and (E)do justice and righteousness?
(F)Then it was well with him.
16 (G)He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
(H)then it was well.
Is not this (I)to know me?
declares the Lord.
17 But you have eyes and heart
only for your dishonest gain,
(J)for shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence.”
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
(K)“They shall not lament for him, saying,
(L)‘Ah, my brother!’ or ‘Ah, sister!’
They shall not lament for him, saying,
(M)‘Ah, lord!’ or ‘Ah, his majesty!’
19 With the burial of a donkey (N)he shall be buried,
dragged and dumped beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
and lift up your voice in Bashan;
cry out from (O)Abarim,
for all (P)your lovers are destroyed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity,
but you said, ‘I will not listen.’
(Q)This has been your way from (R)your youth,
that you have not obeyed my voice.
22 (S)The wind shall shepherd all your shepherds,
and (T)your lovers shall go into captivity;
(U)then you will be ashamed and confounded
because of all your evil.
23 O inhabitant of (V)Lebanon,
nested among the cedars,
how you will be pitied when pangs come upon you,
(W)pain as of a woman in labor!”
24 (X)“As I live, declares the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were (Y)the signet ring on my right hand, yet I would tear you off 25 and (Z)give you (AA)into the hand of those who seek your life, into the hand of those of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 (AB)I will hurl you and (AC)the mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born, and there you shall die. 27 But to the land to which they will long to return, there they shall not return.”
28 Is this man (AD)Coniah a despised, broken pot,
a (AE)vessel no one cares for?
Why are he and his children hurled and cast
into a (AF)land that they do not know?
29 (AG)O land, land, land,
hear the word of the Lord!
30 Thus says the Lord:
“Write this man down as (AH)childless,
a man who shall not succeed in his days,
(AI)for none of his offspring shall succeed
(AJ)in sitting on the throne of David
and ruling again in Judah.”
Jeremiah 22:13-30
World English Bible
13 “Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness,
and his rooms by injustice;
who uses his neighbor’s service without wages,
and doesn’t give him his hire;
14 who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’
and cuts out windows for himself,
with a cedar ceiling,
and painted with red.
15 “Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar?
Didn’t your father eat and drink,
and do justice and righteousness?
Then it was well with him.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy;
so then it was well.
Wasn’t this to know me?”
says Yahweh.
17 But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness,
for shedding innocent blood,
for oppression, and for doing violence.”
18 Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
“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!’
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey,
drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out.
Lift up your voice in Bashan,
and cry from Abarim;
for all your lovers have been destroyed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity,
but you said, ‘I will not listen.’
This has been your way from your youth,
that you didn’t obey my voice.
22 The wind will feed all your shepherds,
and your lovers will go into captivity.
Surely then you will be ashamed
and confounded for all your wickedness.
23 Inhabitant of Lebanon,
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!
24 “As I live,” says Yahweh, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there. 25 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. 26 I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die. 27 But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel?
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?
29 O earth, earth, earth,
hear Yahweh’s word!
30 Yahweh says,
“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.”
