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.

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!
JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 were manyH7227, as the sandH2344 which is by the seaH3220 in multitudeH7230, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and making merryH8056.
And SolomonH8010 reignedH4910 over all kingdomsH4467 from the riverH5104 unto the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and unto the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714: they broughtH5066 presentsH4503, and servedH5647 SolomonH8010 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And Solomon'sH8010 provisionH3899 for oneH259 dayH3117 was thirtyH7970 measuresH3734 of fine flourH5560, and threescoreH8346 measuresH3734 of mealH7058, {provision: Heb. bread} {measures: Heb. cors}
TenH6235 fatH1277 oxenH1241, and twentyH6242 oxenH1241 out of the pasturesH7471, and an hundredH3967 sheepH6629, beside hartsH354, and roebucksH6643, and fallowdeerH3180, and fattedH75 fowlH1257.
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.
Whether it be goodH2896, or whether it be evilH7451, we will obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to whom weH580 sendH7971 thee; that it may be wellH3190 with us, when we obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
And like unto him was there no kingH4428 beforeH6440 him, that turnedH7725 to the LORDH3068 with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, and with all his mightH3966, according to all the lawH8451 of MosesH4872; neither afterH310 him aroseH6965 there any like him.
And JosiahH2977 gaveH7311 to the peopleH1121+H5971, of the flockH6629, lambsH3532 and kidsH1121+H5795, all for the passover offeringsH6453, for all that were presentH4672, to the numberH4557 of thirtyH7970 thousandH505, and threeH7969 thousandH505 bullocksH1241: these were of the king'sH4428 substanceH7399. {gave: Heb. offered}
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}
Thou shalt keepH8104 therefore his statutesH2706, and his commandmentsH4687, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, that it may go wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee, and that thou mayest prolongH748 thy daysH3117 upon the earthH127, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, for ever.
And the sonsH1121 of JosiahH2977 were, the firstbornH1060 JohananH3110, the secondH8145 JehoiakimH3079, the thirdH7992 ZedekiahH6667, the fourthH7243 ShallumH7967. {Johanan: or, Jehochaz 2.kin.23.30.} {Jehoiakim: or, Eliakim 2.kin.23.34.} {Zedekiah: or, Mathaniah.2.kin.24.17.}
And his princesH8269 gaveH7311 willinglyH5071 unto the peopleH5971, to the priestsH3548, and to the LevitesH3881: HilkiahH2518 and ZechariahH2148 and JehielH3171, rulersH5057 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, gaveH5414 unto the priestsH3548 for the passover offeringsH6453 two thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967 small cattle, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 oxenH1241. {gave willingly: Heb. offered, etc}
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will raiseH6965 unto DavidH1732 a righteousH6662 BranchH6780, and a KingH4428 shall reignH4427 and prosperH7919, and shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 in the earthH776.
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. BlessedH835 is every one that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068; that walkethH1980 in his waysH1870.
And they removedH5493 the burnt offeringsH5930, that they might giveH5414 according to the divisionsH4653 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the peopleH1121+H5971, to offerH7126 unto the LORDH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872. And so did they with the oxenH1241.
And they roastedH1310 the passoverH6453 with fireH784 according to the ordinanceH4941: but the other holyH6944 offerings sodH1310 they in potsH5518, and in caldronsH1731, and in pansH6745, and divided them speedilyH7323 among all the peopleH1121+H5971. {divided…: Heb. made them run}
And afterwardH310 they made readyH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548: because the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 were busied in offeringH5927 of burnt offeringsH5930 and the fatH2459 until nightH3915; therefore the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175.
And the singersH7891 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 were in their placeH4612, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and AsaphH623, and HemanH1968, and JeduthunH3038 the king'sH4428 seerH2374; and the portersH7778 waited at every gateH8179; they might not departH5493 from their serviceH5656; for their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for them. {place: Heb. station}
So all the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 was preparedH3559 the same dayH3117, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453, and to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, according to the commandmentH4687 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 keptH6213 the passoverH6453 at that timeH6256, and the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117. {present: Heb. found}
And there was no passoverH6453 likeH3644 to that keptH6213 in IsraelH3478 from the daysH3117 of SamuelH8050 the prophetH5030; neither didH6213 all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 keepH6213 such a passoverH6453 as JosiahH2977 keptH6213, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. {present: Heb. found}
And DavidH1732 reignedH4427 over all IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 executedH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 unto all his peopleH5971.
For thou shalt eatH398 the labourH3018 of thine handsH3709: happyH835 shalt thou be, and it shall be wellH2896 with thee.
There is nothing betterH2896 for a manH120, than that he should eatH398 and drinkH8354, and that he should make his soulH5315 enjoyH7200 goodH2896 in his labourH5999. ThisH2090 also I sawH7200, that it was from the handH3027 of GodH430. {should make…: or, delight his senses}
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which delightedH2654 in thee, to setH5414 thee on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478: because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 IsraelH3478 for everH5769, therefore madeH7760 he thee kingH4428, to doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666.
SayH559 ye to the righteousH6662, that it shall be wellH2896 with him: for they shall eatH398 the fruitH6529 of their doingsH4611.
Go thy wayH3212, eatH398 thy breadH3899 with joyH8057, and drinkH8354 thy wineH3196 with a merryH2896 heartH3820; for GodH430 nowH3528 acceptethH7521 thy worksH4639.
Let thy garmentsH899 be alwaysH6256 whiteH3836; and let thy headH7218 lackH2637 no ointmentH8081.
LiveH2416 joyfullyH7200 with the wifeH802 whom thou lovestH157 all the daysH3117 of the lifeH2416 of thy vanityH1892, which he hath givenH5414 thee under the sunH8121, all the daysH3117 of thy vanityH1892: for that is thy portionH2506 in this lifeH2416, and in thy labourH5999 which thou takestH6001 under the sunH8121. {Live…: Heb. See, or, Enjoy life}
Whatsoever thy handH3027 findethH4672 to doH6213, doH6213 it with thy mightH3581; for there is no workH4639, nor deviceH2808, nor knowledgeH1847, nor wisdomH2451, in the graveH7585, whither thou goestH1980.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in all the wayH1870 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and turned not asideH5493 to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040.
BlessedH835 art thou, O landH776, when thy kingH4428 is the sonH1121 of noblesH2715, and thy princesH8269 eatH398 in due seasonH6256, for strengthH1369, and not for drunkennessH8358!
And like unto him was there no kingH4428 beforeH6440 him, that turnedH7725 to the LORDH3068 with all his heartH3824, and with all his soulH5315, and with all his mightH3966, according to all the lawH8451 of MosesH4872; neither afterH310 him aroseH6965 there any like him.
He shall dwellH7931 on highH4791: his place of defenceH4869 shall be the munitionsH4679 of rocksH5553: breadH3899 shall be givenH5414 him; his watersH4325 shall be sureH539. {high: Heb. heights, or, high places}
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in the waysH1870 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and declinedH5493 neither to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
But ratherG4133 giveG1325 almsG1654 of such things as ye haveG1751; andG2532, beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 areG2076 cleanG2513 unto youG5213. {of…: or, as you are able}
MercyH2617 and truthH571 preserveH5341 the kingH4428: and his throneH3678 is upholdenH5582 by mercyH2617.
AndG5037 they, continuingG4342 dailyG2596+G2250 with one accordG3661 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG5037 breakingG2806 breadG740 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, did eatG3335 their meatG5160 withG1722 gladnessG20 andG2532 singlenessG858 of heartG2588, {from…: or, at home}
To doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941 is more acceptableH977 to the LORDH3068 than sacrificeH2077.
WhetherG1535 thereforeG3767 ye eatG2068, orG1535 drinkG4095, orG1535 whatsoeverG5100 ye doG4160, doG4160 allG3956 toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
Take awayH1898 the wickedH7563 from beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 in righteousnessH6664.
The kingH4428 by judgmentH4941 establishethH5975 the landH776: but heH376 that receiveth giftsH8641 overthrowethH2040 it. {he…: Heb. a man of oblations}
OpenH6605 thy mouthH6310, judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664, and pleadH1777 the cause of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
