Jeremiah 22:22 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 The Lord said, "Jeremiah, go down to the king's palace. Go to the king of Judah and tell this message there:
2 'Listen to the message from the Lord, King of Judah. You rule from David's throne, so listen. King, you and your officials must listen well. All of your people who come through the gates of Jerusalem must listen to the message from the Lord.
3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is right and fair. Protect those who have been robbed from the ones who robbed them. Don't hurt or do anything wrong to orphans or widows. Don't kill innocent people.
4 If you obey these commands, kings who sit on David's throne will continue to come through the gates into the city of Jerusalem. They will come through the gates with their officials. The kings, their officials, and their people will come riding in chariots and on horses.
5 But if you don't obey these commands, this is what the Lord says: I, the Lord, promise that this king's palace will be destroyed—it will become a pile of rocks.'"
6 This is what the Lord says about the palace where the king of Judah lives: "The palace is tall like the forests of Gilead, like the mountains of Lebanon. But I will make it like a desert, as empty as a city where no one lives.
7 I will send men to destroy the palace, each armed with weapons. They will cut up your strong, beautiful cedar beams and throw the beams into the fire.
8 "People from many nations will pass by this city. They will ask one another, 'Why has the Lord done such a terrible thing to Jerusalem? Jerusalem was such a great city.'
9 This will be the answer to that question: 'God destroyed Jerusalem because the people of Judah stopped following the agreement of the Lord their God. They worshiped and served other gods.'"
10 Don't cry for the king who has died. Don't cry for him. But cry very hard for the king who must leave this place. Cry for him because he will never return or see his homeland again.
11 This is what the Lord says about Shallum (Jehoahaz) son of Josiah. (He became king of Judah after his father Josiah died.) "Jehoahaz has gone away from Jerusalem. He will never return.
12 Jehoahaz will die in the place where the Egyptians have taken him, and he will not see this land again."
13 "It will be very bad for King Jehoiakim. He is doing wrong so that he can build his palace. He is cheating people so that he can build rooms upstairs. He is not paying his own people. He is making them work for nothing.
14 "Jehoiakim says, 'I will build myself a great palace, with huge rooms upstairs.' So he built it with large windows. He used cedar word for paneling, and he painted it red.
15 "Jehoiakim, having a lot of cedar in your house does not make you a great king. Your father Josiah was satisfied to have food and drink. He did what was right and fair, so everything went well for him.
16 Josiah helped poor and needy people, so everything went well for him. Jehoiakim, what does it mean "to know God"? It means living right and being fair. That is what it means to know me. This message is from the Lord.
17 "Jehoiakim, your eyes look only for what benefits yourself. You are always thinking about getting more for yourself. You are willing to kill innocent people. You are willing to steal things from other people."
18 So this is what the Lord says to King Jehoiakim son of Josiah: "The people of Judah will not cry for Jehoiakim. They will not say to each another, 'Brother, I am so sad! Sister, I am so sad!' They will not cry for Jehoiakim. They will not say about him, 'Master, I am so sad! King, I am so sad!'
19 The people of Jerusalem will bury Jehoiakim like a donkey. They will drag his body away and throw it outside the gates of Jerusalem.
20 "Judah, go up to the mountains of Lebanon and cry out. Let your voice be heard in the mountains of Bashan. Cry out in the mountains of Abarim, because all your 'lovers' will be destroyed.
21 "Judah, you felt safe, but I warned you. I warned you, but you refused to listen. You have lived like this from the time you were young. And from the time you were young, you have not obeyed me, Judah.
22 Judah, the punishment I give will come like a storm, and it will blow all your shepherds away. You thought some of the other nations would help you. But these nations will also be defeated. Then you will really be disappointed. You will be ashamed of all the evil things you did.
23 "King, you seem so safe in your palace of cedar. It's as if you live in Lebanon! But when your punishment comes, you will groan. You will be in pain like a woman giving birth!"
24 "As surely as I live," says the Lord, "I will do this to you, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah: Even if you were a signet ring on my right hand, I would still pull you off.
25 Jehoiachin, I will give you to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and the Babylonians. Those are the people you are afraid of. They want to kill you.
26 I will throw you and your mother into another country where neither of you was born. You and your mother will die in that country.
27 Jehoiachin, you will want to come back to your land, but you will never be allowed to come back."
28 Jehoiachin is like a broken pot that someone threw away. He is like a pot that no one wants. Why will Jehoiachin and his children be thrown out and sent away into a foreign land?
29 Land, land, land of Judah! Listen to the message of the Lord!
30 The Lord says, "Write this down about Jehoiachin: 'He does not have children anymore! Jehoiachin will not be successful because none of his children will sit on the throne of David. None of his children will rule in Judah.'"
1 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; Go down H3381 to the house H1004 of the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , and speak H1696 there H8033 ADV this H2088 D-PMS word H1697 D-NMS ,

3 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; Execute H6213 ye judgment H4941 NMS and righteousness H6666 , and deliver H5337 the spoiled H1497 out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of the oppressor H6216 : and do no H408 NPAR wrong H3238 , do no H408 NPAR violence H2554 to the stranger H1616 , the fatherless H3490 NMS , nor the widow H490 W-NFS , neither H408 ADV shed H8210 innocent H5355 AMS blood H1818 in this H2088 D-PMS place H4725 .
4 For H3588 CONJ if H518 PART ye do H6213 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS indeed H6213 , then shall there enter in H935 by the gates H8179 of this H2088 D-PMS house H1004 D-NMS kings H4428 NMP sitting H3427 upon H5921 PREP the throne H3678 of David H1732 L-NAME , riding H7392 in chariots H7393 and on horses H5483 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS , and his servants H5650 , and his people H5971 .
5 But if H518 W-PART ye will not H3808 NADV hear H8085 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP , I swear H7650 by myself , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , that H3588 CONJ this H2088 D-PMS house H1004 D-NMS shall become H1961 VQY3MS a desolation H2723 .
6 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS unto H5921 PREP the king H4428 NMS \'s house H1004 CMS of Judah H3063 ; Thou H859 PPRO-2MS art Gilead H1568 unto me , and the head H7218 NMS of Lebanon H3844 : yet surely H518 PART I will make H7896 thee a wilderness H4057 NMS , and cities H5892 GFP which are not H3808 NADV inhabited H3427 .
7 And I will prepare H6942 destroyers H7843 against H5921 PREP thee , every one H376 NMS with his weapons H3627 : and they shall cut down H3772 thy choice H4005 cedars H730 , and cast H5307 them into H5921 PREP the fire H784 .
8 And many H7227 AMP nations H1471 NMP shall pass H5674 by H5921 PREP this H2063 D-DFS city H5892 D-GFS , and they shall say H559 every man H376 NMS to H413 PREP his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS , Wherefore H4100 IPRO hath the LORD H3068 EDS done H6213 VQQ3MS thus H3602 ADV unto this H2063 great H1419 D-AFS city H5892 L-NMS ?
9 Then they shall answer H559 W-VQQ3MP , Because H5921 PREP they have forsaken H5800 the covenant H1285 NFS of the LORD H3068 EDS their God H430 , and worshiped H7812 other H312 AMP gods H430 , and served H5647 them .
10 Weep H1058 ye not H408 NPAR for the dead H4191 , neither H408 ADV bemoan H5110 him : but weep sore H1058 for him that goeth away H1980 : for H3588 CONJ he shall return H7725 VQY3MS no H3808 NADV more H5750 ADV , nor see H7200 his native H4138 country H776 GFS .
11 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 EDS touching H413 PREP Shallum H7967 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , which reigned H4427 instead H8478 NMS of Josiah H2977 his father H1 CMS-3MS , which H834 RPRO went forth H3318 VQQ3MS out of H4480 PREP this H2088 D-PMS place H4725 D-NMS ; He shall not H3808 ADV return H7725 VQY3MS thither H8033 ADV any more H5750 ADV :
12 But H3588 CONJ he shall die H4191 VQY3MS in the place H4725 B-CMS whither H834 RPRO they have led him captive H1540 , and shall see H7200 VQY3MS this H2063 D-DFS land H776 D-GFS no H3808 ADV more H5750 ADV .
13 Woe H1945 unto him that buildeth H1129 VQPMS his house H1004 CMS-3MS by unrighteousness H3808 ADV , and his chambers H5944 by wrong H3808 ADV ; that useth his neighbor H7453 \'s service H5647 without wages H2600 ADV , and giveth H5414 VQY3MS him not H3808 NADV for his work H6467 ;
14 That saith H559 D-VQPMS , I will build H1129 me a wide H4060 house H1004 CMS and large H7304 chambers H5944 , and cutteth him out H7167 windows H2474 ; and it is ceiled H5603 with cedar H730 , and painted H4886 with vermilion H8350 .
15 Shalt thou reign H4427 , because H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS closest H8474 thyself in cedar H730 ? did not H3808 D-NPAR thy father H1 NMS eat H398 VQQ3MS and drink H8354 , and do H6213 W-VQQ3MS judgment H4941 NMS and justice H6666 , and then H227 ADV it was well H2896 AMS with him ?
16 He judged H1777 the cause H1779 NMS of the poor H6041 AMS and needy H34 W-AMS ; then H227 ADV it was well H2896 AMS with him : was not H3808 D-NPAR this H1931 PPRO-3FS to know H1847 D-CFS me ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
17 But H3588 CONJ thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS and thine heart H3820 are not H369 NPAR but for PART thy covetousness H1215 , and for H5921 PREP to shed H8210 innocent H5355 blood H1818 , and for H5921 PREP oppression H6233 , and for H5921 PREP violence H4835 , to do H6213 it .
18 Therefore H3651 L-ADV thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS concerning H413 PREP Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 ; They shall not H3808 NADV lament H5594 for him , saying , Ah H1945 my brother H251 ! or , Ah H1945 sister H269 ! they shall not H3808 NADV lament H5594 for him , saying , Ah H1945 lord H113 ! or , Ah H1945 his glory H1935 !
19 He shall be buried H6912 with the burial H6900 of an ass H2543 CMS , drawn H5498 and cast forth H7993 beyond H1973 the gates H8179 of Jerusalem H3389 .
20 Go up H5927 to Lebanon H3844 , and cry H6817 ; and lift up H5414 thy voice H6963 in Bashan H1316 , and cry H6817 from the passages H5676 : for H3588 CONJ all H3605 NMS thy lovers H157 are destroyed H7665 .
21 I spoke H1696 VPQ1MS unto H413 thee in thy prosperity H7962 ; but thou saidst H559 VQQ2FS , I will not H3808 NADV hear H8085 VQY1MS . This H2088 DPRO hath been thy manner H1870 from thy youth H5271 , that H3588 CONJ thou obeyedst H8085 VQY1MS not H3808 ADV my voice H6963 .
22 The wind H7307 NFS shall eat up H7462 all H3605 NMS thy pastors H7462 , and thy lovers H157 shall go H1980 into captivity H7628 : surely H3588 CONJ then H227 ADV shalt thou be ashamed H954 and confounded H3637 for all H3605 NMS thy wickedness H7451 .
23 O inhabitant H3427 of Lebanon H3844 , that makest thy nest H7077 in the cedars H730 , how H4100 IPRO gracious H2603 shalt thou be when pangs H2256 NMP come H935 B-VQFC upon thee , the pain H2427 as of a woman in travail H3205 !
24 As I H589 PPRO-1MS live H2416 AMS , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , though H518 PART Coniah H3659 the son H1121 CMS of Jehoiakim H3079 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 were H1961 VQY3MS the signet H2368 NMS upon H5921 PREP my right H3225 hand H3027 CFS , yet H3588 CONJ would I pluck H5423 thee thence H8033 M-ADV ;

26 And I will cast thee out H2904 , and thy mother H517 that H834 RPRO bore H3205 thee , into H5921 PREP another H312 country H776 D-GFS , where H834 RPRO ye were not H3808 ADV born H3205 ; and there H8033 ADV shall ye die H4191 .

28 Is this H2088 D-PMS man H376 D-NMS Coniah H3659 a despised H959 broken H5310 idol H6089 ? is he a vessel H3627 CMS wherein is no H369 NPAR pleasure H2656 ? wherefore H4069 IPRO are they cast out H2904 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS and his seed H2233 , and are cast H7993 into H5921 PREP a land H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO they know H3045 not H3808 NADV ?
29 O earth H776 GFS , earth H776 GFS , earth H776 NFS , hear H8085 the word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
30 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Write H3789 ye this H2088 D-PMS man H376 D-NMS childless H6185 , a man H1397 NMS that shall not H3808 NADV prosper H6743 in his days H3117 : for H3588 CONJ no H3808 NADV man H376 D-NMS of his seed H2233 shall prosper H6743 , sitting H3427 VQPMS upon H5921 PREP the throne H3678 of David H1732 , and ruling H4910 any more H5750 ADV in Judah H3063 .
