15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my abba,
saying, A male child is born to you; giving him very
much simcha.
16 And let that man be as the cities that vuvh overthrew,
and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning,
and the shouting at noon;
17 Because he killed me not from the womb, so that my
eema might have been my grave, and her womb great
le-olam-va-ed.
18 Why did I come forth from the womb to see labor and
sorrow, that my days should be spent in shame?
21 The word which came to Yirmeyahu from vuvh,
when melech Tzidkiyahu sent to him Pashur the son of
Melchiyah, and Tzephanyah the son of Maaseyah the
kohen, saying,
2 Inquire to vuvh for us; for Nevuchadnetzar melech of
Bavel makes war against us; if so be that vuvh will deal
with us according to all His wondrous works, so that the
enemy withdraws from us.
3 Then said Yirmeyahu to them, This shall you say to
Tzidkiyahu:
4 This says vuvh Elohim of Yisrael; See, I will turn back
the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which
you fight against the melech of Bavel, and against the
Chaldeans, which besiege you outside the walls, and I
will gather them into the midst of this city.
5 And I Myself will fight against you with an outstretched
hand and with a strong arm, even in rage, and in
displeasure, and in great wrath.
6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man
and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
7 And afterward, says vuvh, I will deliver Tzidkiyahu
melech of Yahudah, and his avadim, and the people, and
such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the
sword, and from the famine, into the hand of
Nevuchadnetzar melech of Bavel, and into the hand of
their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their
chayim: and he shall smite them with the edge of the
sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor
have rachamim.
8 And to this people you shall say, This says vuvh; See, I
set before you the derech of chayim, and the derech of
death.
9 He that stays in this city shall die by the sword, and by
the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goes out,
and falls to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live,
and his chayim shall be to him for a prize.
10 For I have set My face against this city for evil, and
not for tov, says vuvh: it shall be given into the hand of
the melech of Bavel, and he shall burn it with fire.
11 And touching the bayit of the melech of Yahudah, say,
Hear the word of vuvh;
12 O Beit Dawid, this says vuvh; Execute mishpat in the
morning, and deliver him that is plundered out of the
hand of the oppressor, lest My wrath goes out like fire,
and burns so that none can quench it, because of the evil
of your doings.
13 See, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and
rock of the plain, says vuvh; who says, Who shall come
down against us? Or, who shall enter into our dwellings?
14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your
doings, says vuvh: and I will kindle a fire in its forest, and
YIRMEYAHU - JEREMIAH
- 318 -
it shall devour all things all around.
22
This says vuvh; Go down to the bayit of the melech of
Yahudah, and speak there this word,
2 And say, Hear the word of vuvh, O melech of Yahudah,
that sits upon the kesay of Dawid, you, and your avadim,
and your people that enter in by these gates:
3 This says vuvh; Execute mishpat and tzedakah, and
deliver the plundered out of the hand of the oppressor:
and do no wrong, do no violence to the ger, the fatherless,
nor the widow, neither shed innocent dahm in this place.
4 For if you do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in
by the gates of this bayit melechim sitting upon the kesay
of Dawid, riding in mirkavot and on horses, he, and his
avadim, and his people.
5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by Myself,
says vuvh, that this bayit shall become a ruin.
6 For this says vuvh to the melech's bayit of Yahudah;
You are Gilad to Me, and the head of Levanon: yet surely
I will make you a wilderness, and cities that are not
inhabited.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against you, every one
with his weapons: and they shall cut down your choice
cedars, and cast them into the fire.
8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall
say every man to his neighbor, Why has vuvh done this to
this great city?
9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the
brit of vuvh their Elohim, and worshipped other elohim,
and served them.
10 Weep not for the dead, neither mourn him: but weep
bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall shuv no more,
nor see his native country.
11 For this says vuvh regarding Shallum the son of
Yoshiyahu melech of Yahudah, who reigned in the place
of Yoshiyahu his abba, who went forth out of this place;
He shall not shuv here any more:
12 But he shall die in the place where they have led him
into exile, and shall see this land no more.
13 Woe to him that builds his bayit by unrighteousness,
and his rooms by wrong; that uses his neighbor's service
without wages, and gives him nothing for his work;
14 That says, I will build a wide bayit with large rooms,
and cuts out windows; and it is paneled with cedar, and
painted in red.
15 Shall you reign, just because you enclose yourself in
cedar? Did not your abba eat and drink, and do mishpat
and justice, and then it went well with him?
16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy; then it
was well with him: was not this to know Me? says vuvh.
17 But your eyes and your lev are for nothing but your
greed, and to shed innocent dahm, and oppression, and
the doing of violence.
18 Therefore this says vuvh concerning Yahuyakim the
son of Yoshiyahu melech of Yahudah; They shall not
lament for him, saying, Oy vey my brother! Or, Oy vey my
sister! They shall not lament for him, saying, Oy vey
master! Or, Oy vey your excellency!
19 He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn
out and cast out outside the gates of Yahrushalayim.
20 Go up to Levanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in
Bashan, and cry from Avariym: for all your lovers are
destroyed.
