Jeremiah 22

KJV

1  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Go down³³⁸¹ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ there^{8033 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ word,¹⁶⁹⁷

2  And say,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ O king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ that sittest³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of David,¹⁷³² thou,⁸⁵⁹ and thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ that enter⁹³⁵ in by these⁴²⁸ gates:⁸¹⁷⁹

3  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Execute⁶²¹³ ye judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and righteousness,⁶⁶⁶⁶ and deliver⁵³³⁷ the spoiled¹⁴⁹⁷ out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the oppressor:⁶²¹⁶ and do no⁴⁰⁸ wrong,³²³⁸ do no⁴⁰⁸ violence²⁵⁵⁴ to the stranger,¹⁶¹⁶ the fatherless,³⁴⁹⁰ nor the widow,⁴⁹⁰ neither⁴⁰⁸ shed⁸²¹⁰ innocent⁵³⁵⁵ blood¹⁸¹⁸ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

4  For³⁵⁸⁸ if⁵¹⁸ ye do^{6213 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ indeed,⁶²¹³ then shall there enter in⁹³⁵ by the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ kings⁴⁴²⁸ sitting³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of David,¹⁷³² riding⁷³⁹² in chariots⁷³⁹³ and on horses,⁵⁴⁸³ he,¹⁹³¹ and his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and his people.⁵⁹⁷¹

5  But if⁵¹⁸ ye will not³⁸⁰⁸ hear^{8085 853} these⁴²⁸ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ I swear⁷⁶⁵⁰ by myself, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ shall become¹⁹⁶¹ a desolation.²⁷²³

6  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁵⁹²¹ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah;³⁰⁶³ Thou⁸⁵⁹ art Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ unto me, and the head⁷²¹⁸ of Lebanon:³⁸⁴⁴ yet surely^{518 3808} I will make⁷⁸⁹⁶ thee a wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and cities⁵⁸⁹² which are not³⁸⁰⁸ inhabited.³⁴²⁷

7  And I will prepare⁶⁹⁴² destroyers⁷⁸⁴³ against⁵⁹²¹ thee, every one³⁷⁶ with his weapons:³⁶²⁷ and they shall cut down³⁷⁷² thy choice⁴⁰⁰⁵ cedars,⁷³⁰ and cast⁵³⁰⁷ them into⁵⁹²¹ the fire.⁷⁸⁴

8  And many⁷²²⁷ nations¹⁴⁷¹ shall pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ by⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁶³ city,⁵⁸⁹² and they shall say⁵⁵⁹ every man³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ Wherefore^{5921 4100} hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ done⁶²¹³ thus³⁶⁰² unto this²⁰⁶³ great¹⁴¹⁹ city?⁵⁸⁹²

9  Then they shall answer,⁵⁵⁹ Because^{5921 834} they have forsaken^{5800 853} the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God,⁴³⁰ and worshiped⁷⁸¹² other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ them.

10  Weep¹⁰⁵⁸ ye not⁴⁰⁸ for the dead,⁴¹⁹¹ neither⁴⁰⁸ bemoan⁵¹¹⁰ him: but weep sore^{1058 1058} for him that goeth away:¹⁹⁸⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ he shall return⁷⁷²⁵ no³⁸⁰⁸ more,⁵⁷⁵⁰ nor see^{7200 853} his native⁴¹³⁸ country.⁷⁷⁶

11  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ touching⁴¹³ Shallum⁷⁹⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ which reigned⁴⁴²⁷ instead⁸⁴⁷⁸ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ his father,¹ which⁸³⁴ went forth³³¹⁸ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ place;⁴⁷²⁵ He shall not³⁸⁰⁸ return⁷⁷²⁵ thither⁸⁰³³ any more:⁵⁷⁵⁰

12  But³⁵⁸⁸ he shall die⁴¹⁹¹ in the place⁴⁷²⁵ whither^{834 8033} they have led him captive,^{1540 853} and shall see⁷²⁰⁰ this²⁰⁶³ land⁷⁷⁶ no³⁸⁰⁸ more.⁵⁷⁵⁰

13  Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ unto him that buildeth¹¹²⁹ his house¹⁰⁰⁴ by unrighteousness,^{3808 6664} and his chambers⁵⁹⁴⁴ by wrong;^{3808 4941} that useth his neighbor's⁷⁴⁵³ service⁵⁶⁴⁷ without wages,²⁶⁰⁰ and giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ him not³⁸⁰⁸ for his work;⁶⁴⁶⁷

14  That saith,⁵⁵⁹ I will build¹¹²⁹ me a wide⁴⁰⁶⁰ house¹⁰⁰⁴ and large⁷³⁰⁴ chambers,⁵⁹⁴⁴ and cutteth him out⁷¹⁶⁷ windows;²⁴⁷⁴ and it is ceiled⁵⁶⁰³ with cedar,⁷³⁰ and painted⁴⁸⁸⁶ with vermilion.⁸³⁵⁰

15  Shalt thou reign,⁴⁴²⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ closest⁸⁴⁷⁴ thyself in cedar?⁷³⁰ did not³⁸⁰⁸ thy father¹ eat³⁹⁸ and drink,⁸³⁵⁴ and do⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice,⁶⁶⁶⁶ and then²²⁷ it was well²⁸⁹⁶ with him?

16  He judged¹⁷⁷⁷ the cause¹⁷⁷⁹ of the poor⁶⁰⁴¹ and needy;³⁴ then²²⁷ it was well²⁸⁹⁶ with him: was not³⁸⁰⁸ this¹⁹³¹ to know¹⁸⁴⁷ me? saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

17  But³⁵⁸⁸ thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ and thine heart³⁸²⁰ are not³⁶⁹ but for^{3588 518 5921} thy covetousness,¹²¹⁵ and for⁵⁹²¹ to shed⁸²¹⁰ innocent⁵³⁵⁵ blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and for⁵⁹²¹ oppression,⁶²³³ and for⁵⁹²¹ violence,⁴⁸³⁵ to do⁶²¹³ it.

18  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ concerning⁴¹³ Jehoiakim³⁰⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Josiah²⁹⁷⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah;³⁰⁶³ They shall not³⁸⁰⁸ lament⁵⁵⁹⁴ for him, saying, Ah¹⁹⁴⁵ my brother!²⁵¹ or, Ah¹⁹⁴⁵ sister!²⁶⁹ they shall not³⁸⁰⁸ lament⁵⁵⁹⁴ for him, saying, Ah¹⁹⁴⁵ lord!¹¹³ or, Ah¹⁹⁴⁵ his glory!¹⁹³⁵

19  He shall be buried⁶⁹¹² with the burial⁶⁹⁰⁰ of an ass,²⁵⁴³ drawn⁵⁴⁹⁸ and cast forth⁷⁹⁹³ beyond^{4480 1973} the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

20  Go up⁵⁹²⁷ to Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ and cry;⁶⁸¹⁷ and lift up⁵⁴¹⁴ thy voice⁶⁹⁶³ in Bashan,¹³¹⁶ and cry⁶⁸¹⁷ from the passages:^{4480 5676} for³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ thy lovers¹⁵⁷ are destroyed.⁷⁶⁶⁵

21  I spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ thee in thy prosperity;⁷⁹⁶² but thou saidst,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ hear.⁸⁰⁸⁵ This²⁰⁸⁸ hath been thy manner¹⁸⁷⁰ from thy youth,^{4480 5271} that³⁵⁸⁸ thou obeyedst⁸⁰⁸⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ my voice.⁶⁹⁶³

22  The wind⁷³⁰⁷ shall eat up⁷⁴⁶² all³⁶⁰⁵ thy pastors,⁷⁴⁶² and thy lovers¹⁵⁷ shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ into captivity:⁷⁶²⁸ surely³⁵⁸⁸ then²²⁷ shalt thou be ashamed⁹⁵⁴ and confounded³⁶³⁷ for all^{4480 3605} thy wickedness.⁷⁴⁵¹

23  O inhabitant³⁴²⁷ of Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ that makest thy nest⁷⁰⁷⁷ in the cedars,⁷³⁰ how⁴¹⁰⁰ gracious²⁶⁰³ shalt thou be when pangs²²⁵⁶ come⁹³⁵ upon thee, the pain²⁴²⁷ as of a woman in travail!³²⁰⁵

24  As I⁵⁸⁹ live,²⁴¹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ though^{3588 518} Coniah³⁶⁵⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoiakim³⁰⁷⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ were¹⁹⁶¹ the signet²³⁶⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ my right³²²⁵ hand,³⁰²⁷ yet³⁵⁸⁸ would I pluck⁵⁴²³ thee thence;^{4480 8033}

25  And I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee into the hand³⁰²⁷ of them that seek¹²⁴⁵ thy life,⁵³¹⁵ and into the hand³⁰²⁷ of them whose⁸³⁴ face^{4480 6440} thou⁸⁵⁹ fearest,³⁰¹⁶ even into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Nebuchadnezzar⁵⁰¹⁹ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Babylon,⁸⁹⁴ and into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Chaldeans.³⁷⁷⁸

26  And I will cast thee out,^{2904 853} and thy mother⁵¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ bore³²⁰⁵ thee, into⁵⁹²¹ another³¹² country,⁷⁷⁶ where^{834 8033} ye were not³⁸⁰⁸ born;³²⁰⁵ and there⁸⁰³³ shall ye die.⁴¹⁹¹

27  But to⁵⁹²¹ the land⁷⁷⁶ whereunto^{834 8033} they¹⁹⁹² desire^{5375 853 5315} to return,⁷⁷²⁵ thither⁸⁰³³ shall they not³⁸⁰⁸ return.⁷⁷²⁵

28  Is this²⁰⁸⁸ man³⁷⁶ Coniah³⁶⁵⁹ a despised⁹⁵⁹ broken⁵³¹⁰ idol?⁶⁰⁸⁹ is he a vessel³⁶²⁷ wherein is no³⁶⁹ pleasure?²⁶⁵⁶ wherefore⁴⁰⁶⁹ are they cast out,²⁹⁰⁴ he¹⁹³¹ and his seed,²²³³ and are cast⁷⁹⁹³ into⁵⁹²¹ a land⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ they know³⁰⁴⁵ not?³⁸⁰⁸

29  O earth,⁷⁷⁶ earth,⁷⁷⁶ earth,⁷⁷⁶ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

30  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Write³⁷⁸⁹ ye ⁸⁵³ this²⁰⁸⁸ man³⁷⁶ childless,⁶¹⁸⁵ a man¹³⁹⁷ that shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prosper⁶⁷⁴³ in his days:³¹¹⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ no³⁸⁰⁸ man³⁷⁶ of his seed^{4480 2233} shall prosper,⁶⁷⁴³ sitting³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of David,¹⁷³² and ruling⁴⁹¹⁰ any more⁵⁷⁵⁰ in Judah.³⁰⁶³

1 τάδε λέγει κύριος πορεύου καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως Ιουδα καὶ λαλήσεις ἐκεῖ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον

2 καὶ ἐρεῖς ἄκουε λόγον κυρίου βασιλεῦ Ιουδα ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυιδ σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ ὁ λαός σου καὶ οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι ταῖς πύλαις ταύταις

3 τάδε λέγει κύριος ποιεῖτε κρίσιν καὶ δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἐξαιρεῖσθε διηρπασμένον ἐκ χειρὸς ἀδικοῦντος αὐτὸν καὶ προσήλυτον καὶ ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν μὴ καταδυναστεύετε καὶ μὴ ἀσεβεῖτε καὶ αἷμα ἀθῷον μὴ ἐκχέητε ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ

4 διότι ἐὰν ποιοῦντες ποιήσητε τὸν λόγον τοῦτον καὶ εἰσελεύσονται ἐν ταῖς πύλαις τοῦ οἴκου τούτου βασιλεῖς καθήμενοι ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυιδ καὶ ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐφ᾽ ἁρμάτων καὶ ἵππων αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτῶν καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτῶν

5 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ποιήσητε τοὺς λόγους τούτους κατ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα λέγει κύριος ὅτι εἰς ἐρήμωσιν ἔσται ὁ οἶκος οὗτος

6 ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος κατὰ τοῦ οἴκου βασιλέως Ιουδα Γαλααδ σύ μοι ἀρχὴ τοῦ Λιβάνου ἐὰν μὴ θῶ σε εἰς ἔρημον πόλεις μὴ κατοικηθησομένας

7 καὶ ἐπάξω ἐπὶ σὲ ἄνδρα ὀλεθρεύοντα καὶ τὸν πέλεκυν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκκόψουσιν τὰς ἐκλεκτὰς κέδρους σου καὶ ἐμβαλοῦσιν εἰς τὸ πῦρ

8 καὶ διελεύσονται ἔθνη διὰ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ ἐροῦσιν ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ διὰ τί ἐποίησεν κύριος οὕτως τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ ταύτῃ

9 καὶ ἐροῦσιν ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπον τὴν διαθήκην κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ προσεκύνησαν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς

10 μὴ κλαίετε τὸν τεθνηκότα μηδὲ θρηνεῖτε αὐτόν κλαύσατε κλαυθμῷ τὸν ἐκπορευόμενον ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιστρέψει ἔτι καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδῃ τὴν γῆν πατρίδος αὐτοῦ

11 διότι τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ Σελλημ υἱὸν Ιωσια τὸν βασιλεύοντα ἀντὶ Ιωσια τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὃς ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου οὐκ ἀναστρέψει ἐκεῖ οὐκέτι

12 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ οὗ μετῴκισα αὐτόν ἐκεῖ ἀποθανεῖται καὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην οὐκ ὄψεται ἔτι

13 ὦ ὁ οἰκοδομῶν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ οὐ μετὰ δικαιοσύνης καὶ τὰ ὑπερῷα αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐν κρίματι παρὰ τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐργᾶται δωρεὰν καὶ τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀποδώσει αὐτῷ

14 ᾠκοδόμησας σεαυτῷ οἶκον σύμμετρον ὑπερῷα ῥιπιστὰ διεσταλμένα θυρίσιν καὶ ἐξυλωμένα ἐν κέδρῳ καὶ κεχρισμένα ἐν μίλτῳ

15 μὴ βασιλεύσεις ὅτι σὺ παροξύνῃ ἐν Αχαζ τῷ πατρί σου οὐ φάγονται καὶ οὐ πίονται βέλτιον ἦν σε ποιεῖν κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην καλήν

16 οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐκ ἔκριναν κρίσιν ταπεινῷ οὐδὲ κρίσιν πένητος οὐ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ μὴ γνῶναί σε ἐμέ λέγει κύριος

17 ἰδοὺ οὔκ εἰσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου οὐδὲ ἡ καρδία σου καλή ἀλλ᾽ εἰς τὴν πλεονεξίαν σου καὶ εἰς τὸ αἷμα τὸ ἀθῷον τοῦ ἐκχέειν αὐτὸ καὶ εἰς ἀδίκημα καὶ εἰς φόνον τοῦ ποιεῖν

18 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐπὶ Ιωακιμ υἱὸν Ιωσια βασιλέα Ιουδα οὐαὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον οὐ μὴ κόψωνται αὐτόν ὦ ἀδελφέ οὐδὲ μὴ κλαύσονται αὐτόν οἴμμοι κύριε

19 ταφὴν ὄνου ταφήσεται συμψησθεὶς ῥιφήσεται ἐπέκεινα τῆς πύλης Ιερουσαλημ

20 ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν Λίβανον καὶ κέκραξον καὶ εἰς τὴν Βασαν δὸς τὴν φωνήν σου καὶ βόησον εἰς τὸ πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης ὅτι συνετρίβησαν πάντες οἱ ἐρασταί σου

21 ἐλάλησα πρὸς σὲ ἐν τῇ παραπτώσει σου καὶ εἶπας οὐκ ἀκούσομαι αὕτη ἡ ὁδός σου ἐκ νεότητός σου οὐκ ἤκουσας τῆς φωνῆς μου

22 πάντας τοὺς ποιμένας σου ποιμανεῖ ἄνεμος καὶ οἱ ἐρασταί σου ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ ἐξελεύσονται ὅτι τότε αἰσχυνθήσῃ καὶ ἀτιμωθήσῃ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν φιλούντων σε

23 κατοικοῦσα ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ ἐννοσσεύουσα ἐν ταῖς κέδροις καταστενάξεις ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν σοι ὠδῖνας ὡς τικτούσης

24 ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος ἐὰν γενόμενος γένηται Ιεχονιας υἱὸς Ιωακιμ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα ἀποσφράγισμα ἐπὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς δεξιᾶς μου ἐκεῖθεν ἐκσπάσω σε

25 καὶ παραδώσω σε εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ζητούντων τὴν ψυχήν σου ὧν σὺ εὐλαβῇ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν Χαλδαίων

26 καὶ ἀπορρίψω σὲ καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου τὴν τεκοῦσάν σε εἰς γῆν οὗ οὐκ ἐτέχθης ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐκεῖ ἀποθανεῖσθε

27 εἰς δὲ τὴν γῆν ἣν αὐτοὶ εὔχονται ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ ἀποστρέψωσιν

28 ἠτιμώθη Ιεχονιας ὡς σκεῦος οὗ οὐκ ἔστιν χρεία αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐξερρίφη καὶ ἐξεβλήθη εἰς γῆν ἣν οὐκ ᾔδει

29 γῆ γῆ ἄκουε λόγον κυρίου

30 γράψον τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦτον ἐκκήρυκτον ἄνθρωπον ὅτι οὐ μὴ αὐξηθῇ ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυιδ ἄρχων ἔτι ἐν τῷ Ιουδα

2 et dices: [Audi verbum Domini, rex Juda,
qui sedes super solium David:
tu et servi tui, et populus tuus,
qui ingredimini per portas istas.

3 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Facite judicium et justitiam,
et liberate vi oppressum de manu calumniatoris:
et advenam, et pupillum, et viduam
nolite contristare, neque opprimatis inique,
et sanguinem innocentem ne effundatis in loco isto.

4 Si enim facientes feceritis verbum istud,
ingredientur per portas domus hujus
reges sedentes de genere David super thronum ejus,
et ascendentes currus et equos,
ipsi, et servi, et populus eorum.

5 Quod si non audieritis verba hæc:
in memetipso juravi, dicit Dominus,
quia in solitudinem erit domus hæc.

6 Quia hæc dicit Dominus super domum regis Juda:
Galaad, tu mihi caput Libani,
si non posuero te solitudinem, urbes inhabitabiles!

7 Et sanctificabo super te, interficientem virum et arma ejus:
et succident electas cedros tuas,
et præcipitabunt in ignem.

8 Et pertransibunt gentes multæ per civitatem hanc,
et dicet unusquisque proximo suo:
Quare fecit Dominus sic civitati huic grandi?

9 Et respondebunt:
Eo quod dereliquerint pactum Domini Dei sui,
et adoraverint deos alienos, et servierint eis.

10 Nolite flere mortuum,
neque lugeatis super eum fletu:
plangite eum qui egreditur,
quia non revertetur ultra,
nec videbit terram nativitatis suæ.

11 Quia hæc dicit Dominus ad Sellum,
filium Josiæ, regem Juda,
qui regnavit pro Josia patre suo,
qui egressus est de loco isto:
Non revertetur huc amplius,

12 sed in loco ad quem transtuli eum, ibi morietur,
et terram istam non videbit amplius.

13 Væ qui ædificat domum suam in injustitia,
et cœnacula sua non in judicio:
amicum suum opprimet frustra,
et mercedem ejus non reddet ei:

14 qui dicit: Ædificabo mihi domum latam,
et cœnacula spatiosa:
qui aperit sibi fenestras et facit laquearia cedrina,
pingitque sinopide.

15 Numquid regnabis quoniam confers te cedro?
pater tuus numquid non comedit et bibit,
et fecit judicium et justitiam tunc cum bene erat ei?

16 Judicavit causam pauperis et egeni in bonum suum:
numquid non ideo quia cognovit me? dicit Dominus.

17 Tui vero oculi et cor ad avaritiam,
et ad sanguinem innocentem fundendum,
et ad calumniam, et ad cursum mali operis.

18 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus ad Joakim,
filium Josiæ, regem Juda:
Non plangent eum: Væ frater! et væ soror!
non concrepabunt ei: Væ domine! et væ inclyte!

19 Sepultura asini sepelietur,
putrefactus et projectus extra portas Jerusalem.]

20 [Ascende Libanum, et clama,
et in Basan da vocem tuam:
et clama ad transeuntes,
quia contriti sunt omnes amatores tui.

21 Locutus sum ad te in abundantia tua,
et dixisti: Non audiam:
hæc est via tua ab adolescentia tua,
quia non audisti vocem meam.

22 Omnes pastores tuos pascet ventus,
et amatores tui in captivitatem ibunt:
et tunc confunderis,
et erubesces ab omni malitia tua.

23 Quæ sedes in Libano,
et nidificas in cedris,
quomodo congemuisti cum venissent tibi dolores,
quasi dolores parturientis?

24 Vivo ego, dicit Dominus,
quia si fuerit Jechonias filius Joakim regis Juda
annulus in manu dextera mea,
inde evellam eum,

25 et dabo te in manu quærentium animam tuam,
et in manu quorum tu formidas faciem,
et in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis,
et in manu Chaldæorum:

26 et mittam te, et matrem tuam quæ genuit te,
in terram alienam, in qua nati non estis,
ibique moriemini.

27 Et in terram ad quam ipsi levant animam suam ut revertantur illuc,
non revertentur.

28 Numquid vas fictile atque contritum
vir iste Jechonias?
numquid vas absque omni voluptate?
quare abjecti sunt ipse et semen ejus,
et projecti in terram quam ignoraverunt?

29 Terra, terra, terra, audi sermonem Domini.

30 Hæc dicit Dominus:
Scribe virum istum sterilem,
virum qui in diebus suis non prosperabitur:
nec enim erit de semine ejus vir
qui sedeat super solium David,
et potestatem habeat ultra in Juda.]
