24:021:014 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,
saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest
thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
24:022:001 Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of
Judah, and speak there this word,
24:022:002 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:
24:022:003 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.
24:022:004 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.
24:022:005 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
24:022:006 For 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.
24:022:007 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.
24:022:008 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?
24:022:009 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the
covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and
served them.
