thou shalt speak this word, <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sittest upon the throne of David: thou and thy servants, and thy people, who enter in by these gates. <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Thus saith the Lord: Execute judgement and justice, and deliver him that is oppressed out of the hand of the oppressor: and afflict not the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, nor oppress them unjustly: and shed not innocent blood in this place. <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>For if you will do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house, kings of the race of David sitting upon his throne, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants, and their people. <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>But if you will not hearken to these words: I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation. </p> <p class="hdg">A Warning about the Palace</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>For thus saith the Lord to the house of the king of Juda: Thou art to me Galaad the head of Libanus: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities not habitable. </p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And I will prepare against thee the destroyer and his weapons: and they shall cut down thy chosen cedars, and shall cast them headlong into the fire. </p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And many nations shall pass by this city: and they shall say every man to his neighbor: Why hath the Lord done so to this great city? <span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>And they shall answer: Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and have adored strange gods, and served them. </p> <p class="hdg">A Warning about Jehoahaz</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a

<p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/jeremiah/22-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>For thus saith the Lord to Sellum the son of Josias the king of Juda, who reigned instead of his father, who went
