Prophecies Against The Kings Of Judah

[1] Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word, [2] 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: [3] 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.

[8] 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? [9] Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them. [10] Weep 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.
