Jeremiah 22:1-9

ECB(i) 1
THE JUDGMENT OF THE HOUSE OF YAH HUDAH
Thus says Yah Veh: Descend to the house of the sovereign of Yah Hudah and word there this word, 2 and say, Hear the word of Yah Veh, O sovereign of Yah Hudah, who sits on the throne of David - you and your servants and your people entering by these portals. 3 Thus says Yah Veh: Work judgment and justness and rescue the stripped from the hand of the oppressor: and neither wrong nor violate the sojourner, the orphan and the widow; nor pour innocent blood in this place. 4 For if in working, ye work this word, then there enters in by the portals of this house sovereigns sitting on the throne of David riding in chariots and on horses - he and his servants and his people: 5 and if you hear not these words, I oath by myself - an oracle of Yah Veh that this house becomes a parched area. 6 For thus says Yah Veh to the house of the sovereign of Yah Hudah: You are my Gilad - the head of Lebanon: surely I place you a wilderness, and cities not settled: 7 and I hallow ruiners against you, - every man with his instruments: and they cut down your choice cedars and fell them in the fire. 8 And many goyim pass by this city and they say every man to his friend, Why works Yah Veh thus to this great city? 9 And they say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yah Veh their Elohim; and prostrated to other elohim and served them.
