- 1Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה רֵ֖ד בֵּֽית מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה וְדִבַּרְתָּ֣ שָׁ֔ם אֶת הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּֽה
- 2And 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:וְאָֽמַרְתָּ֙ שְׁמַ֣ע דְּבַר יְהוָ֔ה מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֔ה הַיֹּשֵׁ֖ב עַל כִּסֵּ֣א דָוִ֑ד אַתָּ֤ה וַעֲבָדֶ֨יךָ֙ וְעַמְּךָ֔ הַבָּאִ֖ים בַּשְּׁעָרִ֥ים הָאֵֽלֶּה
- 3Thus 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.כֹּ֣ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה עֲשׂ֤וּ מִשְׁפָּט֙ וּצְדָקָ֔ה וְהַצִּ֥ילוּ גָז֖וּל מִיַּ֣ד עָשׁ֑וֹק וְגֵר֩ יָת֨וֹם וְאַלְמָנָ֤ה אַל תֹּנוּ֙ אַל תַּחְמֹ֔סוּ וְדָ֣ם נָקִ֔י אַֽל תִּשְׁפְּכ֖וּ בַּמָּק֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה
- 4For 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.כִּ֤י אִם עָשׂוֹ֙ תַּֽעֲשׂ֔וּ אֶת הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה וּבָ֣אוּ בְשַׁעֲרֵ֣י הַבַּ֣יִת הַזֶּ֡ה מְלָכִים֩ יֹשְׁבִ֨ים לְדָוִ֜ד עַל כִּסְא֗וֹ רֹֽכְבִים֙ בָּרֶ֣כֶב וּבַסּוּסִ֔ים ה֥וּא ועבדו וַעֲבָדָ֖יו וְעַמּֽוֹ
- 5But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.וְאִם֙ לֹ֣א תִשְׁמְע֔וּ אֶת הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה נִשְׁבַּ֨עְתִּי֙ נְאֻם יְהוָ֔ה כִּי לְחָרְבָּ֥ה יִֽהְיֶ֖ה הַבַּ֥יִת הַזֶּֽה
- 6For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.כִּֽי כֹ֣ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה עַל בֵּית֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֔ה גִּלְעָ֥ד אַתָּ֛ה רֹ֣אשׁ הַלְּבָנ֑וֹן אִם לֹ֤א אֲשִֽׁיתְךָ֙ מִדְבָּ֔ר עָרִ֖ים לֹ֥א נושבה נוֹשָֽׁבוּ
- 7And 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.וְקִדַּשְׁתִּ֥י עָלֶ֛יךָ מַשְׁחִתִ֖ים אִ֣ישׁ וְכֵלָ֑יו וְכָֽרְתוּ֙ מִבְחַ֣ר אֲרָזֶ֔יךָ וְהִפִּ֖ילוּ עַל הָאֵֽשׁ
- 8And 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?וְעָֽבְרוּ֙ גּוֹיִ֣ם רַבִּ֔ים עַ֖ל הָעִ֣יר הַזֹּ֑את וְאָֽמְרוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ אֶל רֵעֵ֔הוּ עַל מֶ֨ה עָשָׂ֤ה יְהוָה֙ כָּ֔כָה לָעִ֥יר הַגְּדוֹלָ֖ה הַזֹּֽאת
- 9Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.וְאָ֣מְר֔וּ עַ֚ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָֽזְב֔וּ אֶת בְּרִ֥ית יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲו֛וּ לֵאלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִ֖ים וַיַּעַבְדֽוּם
- 10Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.אַל תִּבְכּ֣וּ לְמֵ֔ת וְאַל תָּנֻ֖דוּ בְּכ֤וּ בָכוֹ֙ לַֽהֹלֵ֔ךְ כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יָשׁוּב֙ ע֔וֹד וְרָאָ֖ה אֶת אֶ֥רֶץ מוֹלַדְתּֽוֹ
- 11For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָֽמַר יְ֠הוָה אֶל שַׁלֻּ֨ם בֶּן יֹאשִׁיָּ֜הוּ מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֗ה הַמֹּלֵךְ֙ תַּ֚חַת יֹאשִׁיָּ֣הוּ אָבִ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָצָ֖א מִן הַמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה לֹֽא יָשׁ֥וּב שָׁ֖ם עֽוֹד
- 12But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.כִּ֗י בִּמְק֛וֹם אֲשֶׁר הִגְל֥וּ אֹת֖וֹ שָׁ֣ם יָמ֑וּת וְאֶת הָאָ֥רֶץ הַזֹּ֖את לֹֽא יִרְאֶ֥ה עֽוֹד
- 13Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;ה֣וֹי בֹּנֶ֤ה בֵיתוֹ֙ בְּֽלֹא צֶ֔דֶק וַעֲלִיּוֹתָ֖יו בְּלֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּ֑ט בְּרֵעֵ֨הוּ֙ יַעֲבֹ֣ד חִנָּ֔ם וּפֹעֲל֖וֹ לֹ֥א יִתֶּן
- 14That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.הָאֹמֵ֗ר אֶבְנֶה בֵּ֣ית מִדּ֔וֹת וַעֲלִיּ֖וֹת מְרֻוָּחִ֑ים וְקָ֤רַֽע חַלּוֹנָ֔י וְסָפ֣וּן בָּאָ֔רֶז וּמָשׁ֖וֹחַ בַּשָּׁשַֽׁר
- 15Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?הֲתִֽמְלֹ֔ךְ כִּ֥י אַתָּ֖ה מְתַחֲרֶ֣ה בָאָ֑רֶז אָבִ֜יךָ הֲל֧וֹא אָכַ֣ל וְשָׁתָ֗ה וְעָשָׂ֤ה מִשְׁפָּט֙ וּצְדָקָ֔ה אָ֖ז ט֥וֹב
- 16He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well not this to know me? saith the LORD.דָּ֛ן דִּין עָנִ֥י וְאֶבְי֖וֹן אָ֣ז ט֑וֹב הֲלוֹא הִ֛יא הַדַּ֥עַת אֹתִ֖י נְאֻם יְהוָֽה
- 17But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.כִּ֣י אֵ֤ין עֵינֶ֨יךָ֙ וְלִבְּךָ֔ כִּ֖י אִם עַל בִּצְעֶ֑ךָ וְעַ֤ל דַּֽם הַנָּקִי֙ לִשְׁפּ֔וֹךְ וְעַל הָעֹ֥שֶׁק וְעַל הַמְּרוּצָ֖ה לַעֲשֽׂוֹת
- 18Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!לָכֵ֞ן כֹּֽה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה אֶל יְהוֹיָקִ֤ים בֶּן יֹאשִׁיָּ֨הוּ֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֔ה לֹא יִסְפְּד֣וּ ה֥וֹי אָחִ֖י וְה֣וֹי אָח֑וֹת לֹא יִסְפְּד֣וּ ה֥וֹי אָד֖וֹן וְה֥וֹי הֹדֹֽה
- 19He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.קְבוּרַ֥ת חֲמ֖וֹר יִקָּבֵ֑ר סָח֣וֹב וְהַשְׁלֵ֔ךְ מֵהָ֖לְאָה לְשַׁעֲרֵ֥י יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם
- 20Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.עֲלִ֤י הַלְּבָנוֹן֙ וּֽצְעָ֔קִי וּבַבָּשָׁ֖ן תְּנִ֣י קוֹלֵ֑ךְ וְצַֽעֲקִי֙ מֵֽעֲבָרִ֔ים כִּ֥י נִשְׁבְּר֖וּ כָּל מְאַהֲבָֽיִךְ
- 21I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.דִּבַּ֤רְתִּי אֵלַ֨יִךְ֙ בְּשַׁלְוֺתַ֔יִךְ אָמַ֖רְתְּ לֹ֣א אֶשְׁמָ֑ע זֶ֤ה דַרְכֵּךְ֙ מִנְּעוּרַ֔יִךְ כִּ֥י לֹֽא שָׁמַ֖עַתְּ בְּקוֹלִֽי
- 22The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.כָּל רֹעַ֨יִךְ֙ תִּרְעֶה ר֔וּחַ וּֽמְאַהֲבַ֖יִךְ בַּשְּׁבִ֣י יֵלֵ֑כוּ כִּ֣י אָ֤ז תֵּבֹ֨שִׁי֙ וְנִכְלַ֔מְתְּ מִכֹּ֖ל רָעָתֵֽךְ
- 23O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!ישבתי יֹשַׁבְתְּ֙ בַּלְּבָנ֔וֹן מקננתי מְקֻנַּ֖נְתְּ בָּֽאֲרָזִ֑ים מַה נֵּחַנְתְּ֙ בְּבֹא חֲבָלִ֔ים חִ֖יל כַּיֹּלֵדָֽה
- 24As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;חַי אָנִי֮ נְאֻם יְהוָה֒ כִּ֣י אִם יִהְיֶ֞ה כָּנְיָ֤הוּ בֶן יְהֽוֹיָקִים֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֔ה חוֹתָ֖ם עַל יַ֣ד יְמִינִ֑י כִּ֥י מִשָּׁ֖ם אֶתְּקֶֽנְךָּ
- 25And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.וּנְתַתִּ֗יךָ בְּיַד֙ מְבַקְשֵׁ֣י נַפְשֶׁ֔ךָ וּבְיַ֛ד אֲשֶׁר אַתָּ֥ה יָג֖וֹר מִפְּנֵיהֶ֑ם וּבְיַ֛ד נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּ֥ר מֶֽלֶךְ בָּבֶ֖ל וּבְיַ֥ד הַכַּשְׂדִּֽים
- 26And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.וְהֵֽטַלְתִּ֣י אֹתְךָ֗ וְאֶֽת אִמְּךָ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יְלָדַ֔תְךָ עַ֚ל הָאָ֣רֶץ אַחֶ֔רֶת אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא יֻלַּדְתֶּ֖ם שָׁ֑ם וְשָׁ֖ם תָּמֽוּתוּ
- 27But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.וְעַל הָאָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁר הֵ֛ם מְנַשְּׂאִ֥ים אֶת נַפְשָׁ֖ם לָשׁ֣וּב שָׁ֑ם שָׁ֖מָּה לֹ֥א יָשֽׁוּבוּ
- 28Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?הַעֶ֨צֶב נִבְזֶ֜ה נָפ֗וּץ הָאִ֤ישׁ הַזֶּה֙ כָּנְיָ֔הוּ אִ֨ם כְּלִ֔י אֵ֥ין חֵ֖פֶץ מַדּ֤וּעַ הֽוּטֲלוּ֙ ה֣וּא וְזַרְע֔וֹ וְהֻ֨שְׁלְכ֔וּ עַל הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא יָדָֽעוּ
- 29O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.אֶ֥רֶץ אֶ֖רֶץ אָ֑רֶץ שִׁמְעִ֖י דְּבַר יְהוָֽה
- 30Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.כֹּ֣ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה כִּתְב֞וּ אֶת הָאִ֤ישׁ הַזֶּה֙ עֲרִירִ֔י גֶּ֖בֶר לֹא יִצְלַ֣ח בְּיָמָ֑יו כִּי֩ לֹ֨א יִצְלַ֜ח מִזַּרְע֗וֹ אִ֚ישׁ יֹשֵׁב֙ עַל כִּסֵּ֣א דָוִ֔ד וּמֹשֵׁ֥ל ע֖וֹד בִּיהוּדָֽה

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
