*
Thus saith the LORD ;
Go down to the house of the king of Judah ,
and speak there this word ,
*
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 sha #

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 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 .
*
But if ye will not hear these words ,
I swear by myself ,
saith the LORD ,
that this house shall become a desolation .
*
For thus saith the LORD unto the kings house of Judah ;
Thou art Gilead unto me ,
and the head of Lebanon :
yet srely I will make thee a wilderness ,
and cities which are not inhabited (
8675 ).
*
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 shall pass by this city ,
and they shall say every man to his neighbour ,
Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city ?
*
Then they shall answer ,
Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God ,
and worshipped other gods ,
and served them .
