Young's Literal Translation

King James Version
Thus said
Jehovah,
`
Go down `
to '
the house of the king of Judah, and thou
hast
spoken
there this word, and
hast
said,
Thus saith
the
LORD;
Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak
there this word,
Hear a
word of Jehovah
, O king of Judah, who
art
sitting
on
the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people ,
who
are
coming
in at
these gates ,
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 :
Thus said
Jehovah:
Do
ye judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered
from
the hand of the oppressor ,
And sojourner
, orphan
, and
widow
, ye
do
not
oppress
nor wrong
, And
innocent blood ye
do
not
shed
in this place.
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.
For ,
if ye certainly
do this thing, Then come
in by the gates of this house Have
kings sitting for
David
on
his
throne, Riding on
chariot,
and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
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.
And
if ye do
not hear these words, By myself I
have
sworn
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, That this house is
for
a desolation.
But
if ye will
not hear these words, I
swear
by myself, saith
the
LORD,
that this house shall
become
a desolation.
For thus said
Jehovah,
Concerning
the house
of
the king
of Judah :
Gilead
`art'
thou to
Me --
head of Lebanon ,
If
not
--
I make thee a wilderness, Cities not inhabited.
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.
And I have
separated
for
thee
destroyers, Each
with his weapons ,
And they have
cut down the
choice
of
thy cedars, And have
cast them on
the fire.
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.
And many nations have
passed
by this city, And they have
said,
each
to his neighbour, For
what
hath Jehovah
done thus to
this great city?
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?
And
they have
said
, `
Because that
they have forsaken The covenant of Jehovah
their God, And bow
themselves
to
other gods, and serve
them. '
Then
they shall
answer
, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the
LORD
their God, and worshipped
other gods, and served
them.
Ye do
not weep
for the dead, nor
bemoan for
him ,
Weep ye
sore for the
traveller,
For he doth
not
return again
, Nor hath
he
seen
the
land
of
his birth
.
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
.
For thus said
Jehovah
concerning
Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who
is
reigning
instead of Josiah his father, who
hath
gone
forth from
this place :
He doth
not turn
back
hither
again;
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:
For
in the place whither they have removed
him he
dieth
, And this land he
doth
not
see
again
.
But
he
shall
die
in the place whither they have led
him captive
, and shall
see
this land no
more
.
Wo
to
him who
is
building
his house by unrighteousness, And his upper
chambers by injustice,
On
his neighbour
he
layeth
service for
nought
, And his
wage
he
doth
not
give
to
him .
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;
Who
is
saying
, `
I build for
myself
a large
house ,
And airy
upper
chambers, '
And he
hath
cut
out for
himself
its
windows ,
Ceiled
with cedar, and painted with vermillion
.
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
.
Dost
thou reign, because thou art
fretting
thyself in cedar? Thy
father
--
did he
not eat and drink ?
Yea
, he
did
judgment and righteousness
, Then `
it is'
well with him .
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 ?
He decided
the cause of the poor and needy ,
Then `
it is'
well --
is
it
not to know Me? An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
He judged
the cause of the poor and needy ;
then it was
well with
him:
was
not this
to know me? saith
the
LORD
.
But thine eyes and thy
heart are not ,
Except
on
thy dishonest
gain
, And on
shedding
of
innocent blood, And on
oppression, and on
doing
of
violence.
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
.
Therefore ,
thus said
Jehovah
concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah :
They do
not lament for him, Ah
, my brother, and
Ah ,
sister ,
They do
not lament for him, Ah
, lord, and
Ah ,
his honour.
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!
The burial of an ass --
he
is
buried
, Dragged
and cast out
thence
to
the gates of Jerusalem.
He
shall
be
buried
with
the burial of an ass, drawn
and cast forth
beyond
the gates of Jerusalem.
Go up to Lebanon, and cry ,
And in
Bashan
give
forth
thy voice, And cry from Abarim,
For destroyed
have
been
all loving
thee
.
Go up to Lebanon, and cry ;
and lift
up
thy voice in
Bashan
, and cry from the
passages:
for all thy
lovers
are
destroyed
.
I have
spoken
unto thee in thine
ease,
Thou hast
said
, `
I do
not hearken,'
This `is'
thy way
from thy youth, For
thou hast
not hearkened
to
My voice.
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.
All thy friends
consume
doth
wind
, And thy lovers into captivity do
go,
Surely then thou art
ashamed ,
And hast
blushed
for all thy wickedness.
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.
O dweller
in
Lebanon, making
a
nest among
cedars, How gracious hast
thou been
when pangs come to
thee, Pain --
as of a travailing
woman .
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!
I live --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah Were a
seal
on
My right hand, Surely
thence
I draw
thee away,
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;
And I have
given
thee into the hand of those
seeking
thy life, And into hands
of which
thou art
afraid
, Into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
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.
And I have
cast thee, And thy mother who
bore
thee, unto
another country, Where ye were not born ,
and there do
ye die.
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.
And
to the land whither
they are
lifting
up
their
soul
to return, Thither they do
not return.
But
to the land whereunto
they desire
to return, thither shall
they not return.
A
grief
--
a
despised
broken
thing
--
is this man Coniah? A vessel in
which
there
is no pleasure? Wherefore have
they been
cast up
and
down
, He and his seed, Yea,
they
were
cast on
to
a land that
they knew
not?
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?
Earth, earth, earth, hear a
word of Jehovah,
O
earth, earth, earth, hear the
word of the
LORD.
Thus said
Jehovah:
Write ye this man childless, A man --
he
doth
not prosper in his days ,
For none
of his seed doth
prosper, Sitting on
the throne of David, And ruling again
in Judah !
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 .
