VIN(i)
1 This is what the LORD says: "Go to the palace of the king of Judah, and speak this message there:
2 'Listen to the word of the LORD, king of Judah, you who sit on the throne of David you, your officials, and your people who enter these gates.
3 This is what the LORD says: "Uphold justice and righteousness. Deliver from their oppressor those who have been robbed. Don't mistreat or do violence to the alien, the orphan, or the widow, or shed the blood of innocent people in this place.
4 "'If you do what I say, then the kings who sit on David's throne will ride through the gates of this palace in chariots and on horses along with their officials and their people."'
5 But if you don't listen to these words, I swear," declares the LORD, "that this house will become a ruin."'"
6 For this is what the LORD says about the house of the king of Judah, "You are like Gilead to me, like the summit of Lebanon. Yet I'll surely make you a desert, towns where no one lives.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against you, each one with his weapons. And they shall cut down your choice cedars, and throw them into the fire.
8 »Many nations will pass by this city. They will say to one another: Why has the LORD done thus to this great city?
9 Then shall it be answered: Because they have broken the covenant of the LORD their God, and have worshipped and served strange gods.'"
