22 Svo mælti Drottinn: Gakk þú ofan að höll Júdakonungs og flyt þar þessi orð
2 og seg: Heyr orð Drottins, konungur í Júda, þú sem situr í hásæti Davíðs, þú og þjónar þínir og lýður þinn, þeir sem ganga inn um þessi hlið!
3 Svo segir Drottinn: Iðkið rétt og réttlæti og frelsið hinn rænda af hendi kúgarans. Undirokið ekki útlendinga, munaðarleysingja og ekkjur, og hafið ekki órétt í frammi, og úthellið ekki saklausu blóði á þessum stað.
4 Því ef þér gjörið þetta, munu inn um hlið þessa húss fara konungar, er sitja í hásæti Davíðs sem eftirmenn hans, akandi í vögnum og ríðandi á hestum _ konungurinn sjálfur, þjónar hans og lýður hans.
5 En ef þér hlýðið ekki þessum orðum, þá sver ég við sjálfan mig _ segir Drottinn _ að höll þessi skal verða að eyðirúst.
6 Svo segir Drottinn um höll Júdakonungs: Þú ert mér sem Gíleað, sem Líbanonstindur. Vissulega vil ég gjöra þig að eyðimörk, eins og óbyggðar borgir,
7 og vígja spillvirkja í móti þér, hvern með sín vopn, til þess að þeir höggvi þín ágætu sedrustré og varpi þeim á eldinn.
8 Margar þjóðir skulu ganga fram hjá þessari borg og menn segja hver við annan: "Hvers vegna hefir Drottinn farið svo með þessa miklu borg?"
9 Og þá munu menn svara: "Af því að þeir yfirgáfu sáttmála Drottins, Guðs síns, og féllu fram fyrir öðrum guðum og þjónuðu þeim."
10 Grátið ekki þann, sem dauður er, og harmið hann ekki. Grátið miklu heldur þann, sem burt er farinn, því að hann mun aldrei koma heim aftur og sjá ættland sitt.
11 Því að svo segir Drottinn um Sallúm Jósíason, konung í Júda, sem ríki tók eftir Jósía föður sinn og burt er farinn úr þessum stað: Hann mun aldrei framar koma hingað aftur,
12 heldur mun hann deyja á þeim stað, þangað sem þeir hafa flutt hann hertekinn, en þetta land mun hann aldrei framar líta.
13 Vei þeim, sem byggir hús sitt með ranglæti og veggsvalir sínar með rangindum, sem lætur náunga sinn vinna fyrir ekki neitt og greiðir honum ekki kaup hans,
14 sem segir: "Ég vil reisa mér rúmgott hús og loftgóðar svalir!" og heggur sér glugga, þiljar með sedrusviði og málar fagurrautt!
15 Ert þú konungur, þótt þú keppir við aðra með húsagjörð úr sedrusviði? Át ekki faðir þinn og drakk? En hann iðkaði rétt og réttlæti, þá vegnaði honum vel.
16 Hann rak réttar hinna aumu og fátæku, þá gekk allt vel. Er slíkt ekki að þekkja mig? _ segir Drottinn.
17 En augu þín og hjarta stefna eingöngu að eigin ávinning og að því að úthella saklausu blóði og beita kúgun og undirokun.
18 Fyrir því segir Drottinn svo um Jójakím Jósíason, Júdakonung: Menn munu ekki harma hann og segja: "Æ, bróðir minn! Æ, systir!" Menn munu ekki harma hann og segja: "Æ, herra! Æ, vegsemd hans!"
19 Hann skal verða jarðaður eins og asni er jarðaður: dreginn burt og varpað langt út fyrir hlið Jerúsalem.
20 Stíg þú upp á Líbanon og hljóða! Lát raust þína gjalla í Basan og hljóða þú frá Abarím, því að allir ástmenn þínir eru sundurmolaðir.
21 Ég talaði við þig í velgengni þinni, en þú sagðir: "Ég vil ekki heyra!" Þannig var breytni þín frá æsku, að þú hlýddir ekki minni raustu.
22 Nú mun stormurinn hirða alla hirða þína, og ástmenn þínir munu herleiddir verða. Já, þá munt þú verða til skammar og smánar vegna allrar vonsku þinnar.
23 Þú sem býr á Líbanon og hreiðrar þig í sedrustrjám, hversu munt þú stynja, þegar hríðirnar koma yfir þig, kvalir eins og yfir jóðsjúka konu.
24 Svo sannarlega sem ég lifi _ segir Drottinn _ þótt Konja Jójakímsson, konungur í Júda, væri innsiglishringur á hægri hendi minni, þá mundi ég rífa hann þaðan.
25 Og ég sel þig í hendur þeirra, sem sitja um líf þitt, og í hendur þeirra, sem þú hræðist, og í hendur Nebúkadresars Babelkonungs og í hendur Kaldea.
26 Og ég varpa þér og móður þinni, sem ól þig, burt til annars lands, þar sem þið ekki eruð fædd, og þar skuluð þið deyja,
27 en í landið, sem þeir þrá að komast til aftur, þangað skulu þeir aldrei aftur komast.
28 Er þá þessi Konja fyrirlitlegt ílát, sem ekki er til annars en að brjóta sundur, eða ker, sem engum manni geðjast að? Hví var honum og niðjum hans þá kastað burt og varpað til lands, sem þeir þekktu ekki?
29 Ó land, land, land, heyr orð Drottins!
30 Svo segir Drottinn: Skrásetjið þennan mann barnlausan, mann, sem ekki mun verða lángefinn um dagana, því að engum af niðjum hans mun auðnast að sitja í hásæti Davíðs og ríkja framar yfir Júda.

Judgment Against Wicked Kings
22 This is what the Lord says: “Go down to the palace of the king(A) of Judah and proclaim this message there: 2 ‘Hear(B) the word of the Lord to you, king of Judah, you who sit on David’s throne(C)—you, your officials and your people who come through these gates.(D) 3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is just(E) and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor(F) the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow,(G) and do not shed innocent blood(H) in this place. 4 For if you are careful to carry out these commands, then kings(I) who sit on David’s throne will come through the gates of this palace, riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by their officials and their people. 5 But if you do not obey(J) these commands, declares the Lord, I swear(K) by myself that this palace will become a ruin.’”
6 For this is what the Lord says about the palace of the king of Judah:
“Though you are like Gilead(L) to me,
like the summit of Lebanon,(M)
I will surely make you like a wasteland,(N)
like towns not inhabited.
7 I will send destroyers(O) against you,
each man with his weapons,
and they will cut(P) up your fine cedar beams
and throw them into the fire.(Q)
8 “People from many nations will pass by this city and will ask one another, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this great city?’(R) 9 And the answer will be: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and have worshiped and served other gods.(S)’”
10 Do not weep for the dead(T) king or mourn(U) his loss;
rather, weep bitterly for him who is exiled,
because he will never return(V)
nor see his native land again.
11 For this is what the Lord says about Shallum[a](W) son of Josiah, who succeeded his father as king of Judah but has gone from this place: “He will never return. 12 He will die(X) in the place where they have led him captive; he will not see this land again.”
13 “Woe(Y) to him who builds(Z) his palace by unrighteousness,
his upper rooms by injustice,
making his own people work for nothing,
not paying(AA) them for their labor.
14 He says, ‘I will build myself a great palace(AB)
with spacious upper rooms.’
So he makes large windows in it,
panels it with cedar(AC)
and decorates it in red.(AD)
15 “Does it make you a king
to have more and more cedar?
Did not your father have food and drink?
He did what was right and just,(AE)
so all went well(AF) with him.
16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy,(AG)
and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know(AH) me?”
declares the Lord.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
are set only on dishonest gain,(AI)
on shedding innocent blood(AJ)
and on oppression and extortion.”(AK)
18 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
“They will not mourn(AL) for him:
‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
19 He will have the burial(AM) of a donkey—
dragged away and thrown(AN)
outside the gates of Jerusalem.”
20 “Go up to Lebanon and cry out,(AO)
let your voice be heard in Bashan,(AP)
cry out from Abarim,(AQ)
for all your allies(AR) are crushed.
21 I warned you when you felt secure,(AS)
but you said, ‘I will not listen!’
This has been your way from your youth;(AT)
you have not obeyed(AU) me.
22 The wind(AV) will drive all your shepherds(AW) away,
and your allies(AX) will go into exile.
Then you will be ashamed and disgraced(AY)
because of all your wickedness.
23 You who live in ‘Lebanon,[b](AZ)’
who are nestled in cedar buildings,
how you will groan when pangs come upon you,
pain(BA) like that of a woman in labor!
24 “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin[c](BB) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring(BC) on my right hand, I would still pull you off. 25 I will deliver(BD) you into the hands of those who want to kill you, those you fear—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Babylonians.[d] 26 I will hurl(BE) you and the mother(BF) who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return(BG) to.”
28 Is this man Jehoiachin(BH) a despised, broken pot,(BI)
an object no one wants?
Why will he and his children be hurled(BJ) out,
cast into a land(BK) they do not know?
29 O land,(BL) land, land,
hear the word of the Lord!
30 This is what the Lord says:
“Record this man as if childless,(BM)
a man who will not prosper(BN) in his lifetime,
for none of his offspring(BO) will prosper,
none will sit on the throne(BP) of David
or rule anymore in Judah.”

King James Version
22 Thus saith the Lord; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
2 And say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
3 Thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.
6 For thus saith the Lord unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city?
9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
11 For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
14 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the Lord.
17 But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
24 As I live, saith the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
27 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.
30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
