Jeremiah 22

The Message Bible MSG

1 God's orders: "Go to the royal palace and deliver this Message.

2 Say, 'Listen to what God says, O King of Judah, you who sit on David's throne - you and your officials and all the people who go in and out of these palace gates.

3 This is God's Message: Attend to matters of justice. Set things right between people. Rescue victims from their exploiters. Don't take advantage of the homeless, the orphans, the widows. Stop the murdering!

4 "'If you obey these commands, then kings who follow in the line of David will continue to go in and out of these palace gates mounted on horses and riding in chariots - they and their officials and the citizens of Judah.

5 But if you don't obey these commands, then I swear - God's Decree! - this palace will end up a heap of rubble.'"

6 This is God's verdict on Judah's royal palace: "I number you among my favorite places - like the lovely hills of Gilead, like the soaring peaks of Lebanon. Yet I swear I'll turn you into a wasteland, as empty as a ghost town.

7 I'll hire a demolition crew, well-equipped with sledgehammers and wrecking bars, Pound the country to a pulp and burn it all up.

8 "Travelers from all over will come through here and say to one another, 'Why would God do such a thing to this wonderful city?'

9 They'll be told, 'Because they walked out on the covenant of their God, took up with other gods and worshiped them.'" Building a Fine House but Destroying Lives

10 Don't weep over dead King Josiah. Don't waste your tears. Weep for his exiled son: He's gone for good. He'll never see home again.

11 For this is God's Word on Shallum son of Josiah, who succeeded his father as king of Judah: "He's gone from here, gone for good.

12 He'll die in the place they've taken him to. He'll never see home again."

13 "Doom to him who builds palaces but bullies people, who makes a fine house but destroys lives, Who cheats his workers and won't pay them for their work,

14 Who says, 'I'll build me an elaborate mansion with spacious rooms and fancy windows. I'll bring in rare and expensive woods and the latest in interior decor.'

15 So, that makes you a king - living in a fancy palace? Your father got along just fine, didn't he? He did what was right and treated people fairly, And things went well with him.

16 He stuck up for the down-and-out, And things went well for Judah. Isn't this what it means to know me?" God's Decree!

17 "But you're blind and brainless. All you think about is yourself, Taking advantage of the weak, bulldozing your way, bullying victims."

18 This is God's epitaph on Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: "Doom to this man! Nobody will shed tears over him, 'Poor, poor brother!' Nobody will shed tears over him, 'Poor, poor master!'

19 They'll give him a donkey's funeral, drag him out of the city and dump him. You've Made a Total Mess of Your Life

20 "People of Jerusalem, climb a Lebanon peak and weep, climb a Bashan mountain and wail, Climb the Abarim ridge and cry - you've made a total mess of your life.

21 I spoke to you when everything was going your way. You said, 'I'm not interested.' You've been that way as long as I've known you, never listened to a thing I said.

22 All your leaders will be blown away, all your friends end up in exile, And you'll find yourself in the gutter, disgraced by your evil life.

23 You big-city people thought you were so important, thought you were 'king of the mountain'! You're soon going to be doubled up in pain, pain worse than the pangs of childbirth.

24 "As sure as I am the living God" - God's Decree - "even if you, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were the signet ring on my right hand, I'd pull you off

25 and give you to those who are out to kill you, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Chaldeans,

26 and then throw you, both you and your mother, into a foreign country, far from your place of birth. There you'll both die.

27 "You'll be homesick, desperately homesick, but you'll never get home again."

28 Is Jehoiachin a leaky bucket, a rusted-out pail good for nothing? Why else would he be thrown away, he and his children, thrown away to a foreign place?

29 O land, land, land, listen to God's Message!

30 This is God's verdict: "Write this man off as if he were childless, a man who will never amount to anything. Nothing will ever come of his life. He's the end of the line, the last of the kings.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 haec dicit Dominus descende in domum regis Iuda et loqueris ibi verbum hoc

2 et dices audi verbum Domini rex Iuda qui sedes super solium David tu et servi tui et populus tuus qui ingredimini per portas istas

3 haec dicit Dominus facite iudicium et iustitiam 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 huius reges sedentes de genere David super thronum eius et ascendentes currus et equos ipsi et servi et populus eorum

5 quod si non audieritis verba haec in memet ipso iuravi dicit Dominus quia in solitudinem erit domus haec

6 quia haec dicit Dominus super domum regis Iuda Galaad tu mihi caput Libani si non posuero te solitudinem urbes inhabitabiles

7 et sanctificabo super te interficientem virum et arma eius et succident electam cedrum tuam et praecipitabunt in ignem

8 et pertransibunt gentes multae 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 suae

11 quia haec dicit Dominus ad Sellum filium Iosiae regem Iuda qui regnavit pro Iosia 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 vae qui aedificat domum suam in iniustitia et cenacula sua non in iudicio amicum suum opprimet frustra et mercedem eius non reddet ei

14 qui dicit aedificabo mihi domum latam et cenacula 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 iudicium et iustitiam tunc cum bene erat ei

16 iudicavit 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 haec dicit Dominus ad Ioachim filium Iosiae regem Iuda non plangent eum vae frater et vae fratres non concrepabunt ei vae domine et vae inclite

19 sepultura asini sepelietur putrefactus et proiectus extra portas Hierusalem

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 dixisti non audiam haec est via tua ab adulescentia 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 quae sedes in Libano et nidificas in cedris quomodo congemuisti cum venissent tibi dolores quasi dolores parturientis

24 vivo ego dicit Dominus quia si fuerit Iechonias filius Ioachim regis Iuda anulus in manu dextera mea inde avellam eum

25 et dabo te in manu quaerentium animam tuam et in manu quorum tu formidas faciem et in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis et in manu Chaldeorum

26 et mittam te et matrem tuam quae 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 Iechonias numquid vas absque omni voluptate quare abiecti sunt ipse et semen eius et proiecti in terram quam ignoraverunt

29 terra terra terra audi sermonem Domini

30 haec dicit Dominus scribe virum istum sterilem virum qui in diebus suis non prosperabitur nec enim erit de semine eius vir qui sedeat super solium David et potestatem habeat ultra in Iuda
