Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Go downH3381 to the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and speakH1696 there this wordH1697,
And sayH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sittestH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, thou, and thy servantsH5650, and thy peopleH5971 that enterH935 in by these gatesH8179:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; ExecuteH6213 ye judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666, and deliverH5337 the spoiledH1497 out of the handH3027 of the oppressorH6216: and do no wrongH3238, do no violenceH2554 to the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, nor the widowH490, neither shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725.
For if ye doH6213 this thingH1697 indeedH6213, then shall there enter inH935 by the gatesH8179 of this houseH1004 kingsH4428 sittingH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, ridingH7392 in chariotsH7393 and on horsesH5483, he, and his servantsH5650, and his peopleH5971. {upon…: Heb. for David upon his throne}
But if ye will not hearH8085 these wordsH1697, I swearH7650 by myself, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that this houseH1004 shall become a desolationH2723.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the king'sH4428 houseH1004 of JudahH3063; Thou art GileadH1568 unto me, and the headH7218 of LebanonH3844: yet surely I will makeH7896 thee a wildernessH4057, and citiesH5892 which are not inhabitedH3427+H3427.
And I will prepareH6942 destroyersH7843 against thee, every oneH376 with his weaponsH3627: and they shall cut downH3772 thy choiceH4005 cedarsH730, and castH5307 them into the fireH784.
And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall passH5674 by this cityH5892, and they shall sayH559 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this greatH1419 cityH5892?
Then they shall answerH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and worshippedH7812 otherH312 godsH430, and servedH5647 them.
WeepH1058 ye not for the deadH4191, neither bemoanH5110 him: but weepH1058 soreH1058 for him that goeth awayH1980: for he shall returnH7725 no more, nor seeH7200 his nativeH4138 countryH776.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 touchingH413 ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, which reignedH4427 instead of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, which went forthH3318 out of this placeH4725; He shall not returnH7725 thither any more:
But he shall dieH4191 in the placeH4725 whither they have led him captiveH1540, and shall seeH7200 this landH776 no more.
WoeH1945 unto him that buildethH1129 his houseH1004 byH3808 unrighteousnessH6664, and his chambersH5944 by wrongH4941; that useth his neighbour'sH7453 serviceH5647 without wagesH2600, and givethH5414 him not for his workH6467;
That saithH559, I will buildH1129 me a wideH4060 houseH1004 and largeH7304 chambersH5944, and cutteth him outH7167 windowsH2474; and it is cieledH5603 with cedarH730, and paintedH4886 with vermilionH8350. {large: Heb. through-aired} {windows: or, my windows}
Shalt thou reignH4427, because thou closestH8474 thyself in cedarH730? did not thy fatherH1 eatH398 and drinkH8354, and doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666, and then it was wellH2896 with him?
He judgedH1777 the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needyH34; then it was wellH2896 with him: was not this to knowH1847 me? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But thine eyesH5869 and thine heartH3820 are not but for thy covetousnessH1215, and for to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, and for oppressionH6233, and for violenceH4835, to doH6213 it. {violence: or, incursion}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; They shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 my brotherH251! or, AhH1945 sisterH269! they shall not lamentH5594 for him, saying, AhH1945 lordH113! or, AhH1945 his gloryH1935!
He shall be buriedH6912 with the burialH6900 of an assH2543, drawnH5498 and cast forthH7993 beyondH1973 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
Go upH5927 to LebanonH3844, and cryH6817; and lift upH5414 thy voiceH6963 in BashanH1316, and cryH6817 from the passagesH5676: for all thy loversH157 are destroyedH7665.
I 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. {prosperity: Heb. prosperities}
The 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.
O 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! {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, though ConiahH3659 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 were the signetH2368 upon my rightH3225 handH3027, yet would I pluckH5423 thee thence;
And 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 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778.
And I will cast thee outH2904, and thy motherH517 that bareH3205 thee, into anotherH312 countryH776, where ye were not bornH3205; and there shall ye dieH4191.
But to the landH776 whereunto they desireH5375+H5315 to returnH7725, thither shall they not returnH7725. {desire: Heb. lift up their mind}
Is 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?
O earthH776, earthH776, earthH776, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, 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.
Querverweise zu Jeremia 22,3 Jer 22,3
They are waxen fatH8080, they shineH6245: yea, they overpassH5674 the deedsH1697 of the wickedH7451: they judgeH1777 not the causeH1779, the cause of the fatherlessH3490, yet they prosperH6743; and the rightH4941 of the needyH34 do they not judgeH8199.
He doth executeH6213 the judgmentH4941 of the fatherlessH3490 and widowH490, and lovethH157 the strangerH1616, in givingH5414 him foodH3899 and raimentH8071.
But thine eyesH5869 and thine heartH3820 are not but for thy covetousnessH1215, and for to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, and for oppressionH6233, and for violenceH4835, to doH6213 it. {violence: or, incursion}
But let him that gloriethH1984 gloryH1984 in this, that he understandethH7919 and knowethH3045 me, that I am the LORDH3068 which exerciseH6213 lovingkindnessH2617, judgmentH4941, and righteousnessH6666, in the earthH776: for in these things I delightH2654, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
If a manH376 be foundH4672 stealingH1589 anyH5315 of his brethrenH251 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and maketh merchandiseH6014 of him, or sellethH4376 him; then that thiefH1590 shall dieH4191; and thou shalt putH1197 evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you.
If ye oppressH6231 not the strangerH1616, the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, and shedH8210 not innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in this placeH4725, neither walkH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to your hurtH7451:
O houseH1004 of DavidH1732, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; ExecuteH1777 judgmentH4941 in the morningH1242, and deliverH5337 him that is spoiledH1497 out of the handH3027 of the oppressorH6231, lest my furyH2534 go outH3318 like fireH784, and burnH1197 that none can quenchH3518 it, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611. {Execute: Heb. Judge}
CursedH779 be he that pervertethH5186 the judgmentH4941 of the strangerH1616, fatherlessH3490, and widowH490. And all the peopleH5971 shall sayH559, AmenH543.
Then saidH559 the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 unto the priestsH3548 and to the prophetsH5030; This manH376 is not worthyH4941 to dieH4194: for he hath spokenH1696 to us in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Thou shalt not wrestH5186 the judgmentH4941 of thy poorH34 in his causeH7379.
Keep thee farH7368 from a falseH8267 matterH1697; and the innocentH5355 and righteousH6662 slayH2026 thou not: for I will not justifyH6663 the wickedH7563.
And thou shalt takeH3947 no giftH7810: for the giftH7810 blindethH5786 the wiseH6493, and pervertethH5557 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. {the wise: Heb. the seeing}
Also thou shalt not oppressH3905 a strangerH1616: for ye knowH3045 the heartH5315 of a strangerH1616, seeingH3588 ye were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {heart: Heb. soul}
Thou hast sentH7971 widowsH490 away emptyH7387, and the armsH2220 of the fatherlessH3490 have been brokenH1792.
That innocentH5355 bloodH1818 be not shedH8210 inH7130 thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159, and so bloodH1818 be upon thee.
But if any manH376 hateH8130 his neighbourH7453, and lie in waitH693 for him, and rise upH6965 against him, and smiteH5221 him mortallyH5315 that he dieH4191, and fleethH5127 into oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892: {mortally: Heb. in life}
Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall sendH7971 and fetchH3947 him thence, and deliverH5414 him into the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, that he may dieH4191.
Thine eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 him, but thou shalt put awayH1197 the guilt of innocentH5355 bloodH1818 from IsraelH3478, that it may go wellH2895 with thee.
Ye shall doH6213 no unrighteousnessH5766 in judgmentH4941: thou shalt not respectH5375 the personH6440 of the poorH1800, nor honourH1921 the personH6440 of the mightyH1419: but in righteousnessH6664 shalt thou judgeH8199 thy neighbourH5997.
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
JudgesH8199 and officersH7860 shalt thou makeH5414 thee in all thy gatesH8179, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, throughout thy tribesH7626: and they shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 with justH6664 judgmentH4941.
Thou shalt not wrestH5186 judgmentH4941; thou shalt not respectH5234 personsH6440, neither takeH3947 a giftH7810: for a giftH7810 doth blindH5786 the eyesH5869 of the wiseH2450, and pervertH5557 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. {words: or, matters}
That which is altogetherH6664 justH6664 shalt thou followH7291, that thou mayest liveH2421, and inheritH3423 the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee. {That which…: Heb. Justice, justice}
Because I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that criedH7768, and the fatherlessH3490, and him that had none to helpH5826 him.
They gather themselves togetherH1413 against the soulH5315 of the righteousH6662, and condemnH7561 the innocentH5355 bloodH1818.
If there be a controversyH7379 between menH582, and they comeH5066 unto judgmentH4941, that the judges may judgeH8199 them; then they shall justifyH6663 the righteousH6662, and condemnH7561 the wickedH7563.
A fatherH1 of the fatherlessH3490, and a judgeH1781 of the widowsH490, is GodH430 in his holyH6944 habitationH4583.
A proudH7311 lookH5869, a lyingH8267 tongueH3956, and handsH3027 that shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, {A proud…: Heb. Haughty eyes}
The GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, the RockH6697 of IsraelH3478 spakeH1696 to me, He that rulethH4910 over menH120 must be justH6662, rulingH4910 in the fearH3374 of GodH430. {He…: or, Be thou ruler, etc}
And when ye spread forthH6566 your handsH3709, I will hideH5956 mine eyesH5869 from you: yea, when ye make manyH7235 prayersH8605, I will not hearH8085: your handsH3027 are fullH4390 of bloodH1818. {make…: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}
WashH7364 you, make you cleanH2135; put awayH5493 the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611 from beforeH5048 mine eyesH5869; ceaseH2308 to do evilH7489;
LearnH3925 to do wellH3190; seekH1875 judgmentH4941, relieveH833 the oppressedH2541, judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490, pleadH7378 for the widowH490. {relieve: or, righten}
Come nowH3212, and let us reason togetherH3198, saithH559 the LORDH3068: though your sinsH2399 be as scarletH8144, they shall be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they be redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall be as woolH6785.
If ye be willingH14 and obedientH8085, ye shall eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776:
But if ye refuseH3985 and rebelH4784, ye shall be devouredH398 with the swordH2719: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
When I went outH3318 to the gateH8179 through the cityH7176, when I preparedH3559 my seatH4186 in the streetH7339!
The young menH5288 sawH7200 me, and hidH2244 themselves: and the agedH3453 aroseH6965, and stood upH5975.
The princesH8269 refrainedH6113 talkingH4405, and laidH7760 their handH3709 on their mouthH6310.
The noblesH5057 heldH2244 their peaceH6963, and their tongueH3956 cleavedH1692 to the roof of their mouthH2441. {The nobles…: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid}
When the earH241 heardH8085 me, then it blessedH833 me; and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 me, it gave witnessH5749 to me:
Because I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that criedH7768, and the fatherlessH3490, and him that had none to helpH5826 him.
The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me: and I caused the widow'sH490 heartH3820 to sing for joyH7442.
I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me: my judgmentH4941 was as a robeH4598 and a diademH6797.
I was eyesH5869 to the blindH5787, and feetH7272 was I to the lameH6455.
I was a fatherH1 to the poorH34: and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searched outH2713.
And I brakeH7665 the jawsH4973 of the wickedH5767, and pluckedH7993 the spoilH2964 out of his teethH8127. {the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}
RemoveH5253 not the oldH5769 landmarkH1366; and enterH935 not into the fieldsH7704 of the fatherlessH3490: {landmark: or, bound}
EgyptH4714 shall be a desolationH8077, and EdomH123 shall be a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057, for the violenceH2555 against the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, because they have shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in their landH776.
He shall judgeH1777 thy peopleH5971 with righteousnessH6664, and thy poorH6041 with judgmentH4941.
The mountainsH2022 shall bringH5375 peaceH7965 to the peopleH5971, and the little hillsH1389, by righteousnessH6666.
He shall judgeH8199 the poorH6041 of the peopleH5971, he shall saveH3467 the childrenH1121 of the needyH34, and shall break in piecesH1792 the oppressorH6231.
Thy princesH8269 are rebelliousH5637, and companionsH2270 of thievesH1590: every one lovethH157 giftsH7810, and followethH7291 after rewardsH8021: they judgeH8199 not the fatherlessH3490, neither doth the causeH7379 of the widowH490 comeH935 unto them.
The headsH7218 thereof judgeH8199 for rewardH7810, and the priestsH3548 thereof teachH3384 for hireH4242, and the prophetsH5030 thereof divineH7080 for moneyH3701: yet will they leanH8172 upon the LORDH3068, and sayH559, Is not the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us? none evilH7451 can comeH935 upon us. {and say: Heb. saying}
In thee have they set lightH7043 by fatherH1 and motherH517: in the midstH8432 of thee have they dealtH6213 by oppressionH6233 with the strangerH1616: in thee have they vexedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490. {oppression: or, deceit}
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, ExecuteH8199 trueH571 judgmentH4941, and shewH6213 mercyH2617 and compassionsH7356 every manH376 to his brotherH251: {Execute…: Heb. Judge judgment of truth}
And oppressH6231 not the widowH490, nor the fatherlessH3490, the strangerH1616, nor the poorH6041; and let none of you imagineH2803 evilH7451 againstH376 his brotherH251 in your heartH3824.
But they refusedH3985 to hearkenH7181, and pulled awayH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and stoppedH3513 their earsH241, that they should not hearH8085. {pulled…: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}
And I will come nearH7126 to you to judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the sorcerersH3784, and against the adulterersH5003, and against falseH8267 swearersH7650, and against those that oppressH6231 the hirelingH7916 in his wagesH7939, the widowH490, and the fatherlessH3490, and that turn asideH5186 the strangerH1616 from his right, and fearH3372 not me, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {oppress: or, defraud}
