Jeremiah 22
22
1Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Go down to the house of the king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and speak there this word,
2And say, Hear the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), O king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], that sit upon the throne of David [beloved], youi, and youi servants, and youi people that enter in by these gates:
3Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Execute you2f 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.
4For if you2f do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David [beloved], riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
5But if you2f will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that this house shall become a desolation.
6For thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto the king’s house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; youi [are] Gil’ad [Rocky Region] unto me, [and] the head of L’vanon [Whiteness]: [yet] surely I will make youi a wilderness, [and] cities [which] are not inhabited.
7And I will prepare destroyers against youi, everyone with his weapons: and they shall cut down youri choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
8And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, For what reason has the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) done thus unto this great city?
9Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and worshipped other gods, and served them.
10Weep you2f not for the dead, neither bemoan him: [but] weep sore for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
11For thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) touching Shalum [retribution] the son of Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], which reigned instead of Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return there any more:
12But he shall die in the place to which they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
13Woe unto him that builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; [that] uses his neighbour’s service without wages, and gives him not for his work;
14That says, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cuts him out windows; and [it’s] cieling with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15Shalt youi reign, because youi clothe [yourself] in cedar? did not youri father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, [and] then [it was] well with him?
16He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then [it was] well [with him: was] not this to know me? says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
17But youri eyes and youri heart [are] not but for youri covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do [it].
18Therefore thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) concerning Y’hoyakim [Yehovah raises up] the son of Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; 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!
19He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].
20Go up to L’vanon [Whiteness], and cry; and lift up youri voice in Bashan [Fruitful], and cry from the passages: for all youri lovers are destroyed.
21I spoke unto youi in youri prosperity; [but] youi said, I will not hear. This [has been] youri manner from youri youth, that youi obeyed not my voice.
22The wind shall eat up all youri pastors, and youri lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shall youi be ashamed and confounded for all youri wickedness.
23O inhabitant of L’vanon [Whiteness], that makes youri nest in the cedars, how gracious shall youi be when pangs (extreme sharp pains) come upon youi, the pain as of a woman in travail!
24 [As] I live, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), though Koniyahu [Yehovah will establish] the son of Y’hoyakim [Yehovah raises up] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] were the signet (seal or stamp) upon my right hand, yet would I pluck youi there;
25And I will give youi into the hand of them that seek youri life, and into the hand [of them] whose face youi fear, even into the hand of N’vukhadretzar [may Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], and into the hand of the Kasdim [clod-breakers].
26And I will cast youi out, and youri mother that bore youi, into another country, where you2f were not born; and there shall you2f die.
27But to the land whereunto they desire to return, there shall they not return.
28 [Is] this man Koniyahu [Yehovah will establish] a despised broken idol? [is he] a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure? therefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
29O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
30Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Write you2f 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 [beloved], and ruling any more in Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
