The LORD said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there: See also: Jeremiah 34:2Hosea 5:12 Chronicles 33:10‘Hear the LORD’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates. See also: Luke 1:32Jeremiah 22:4Isaiah 9:7The LORD says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t shed innocent blood in this place. See also: Jeremiah 21:12Micah 6:8Jeremiah 22:17For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people. See also: Jeremiah 17:25But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says the LORD, “that this house will become a desolation.”’” See also: Amos 6:8Jeremiah 17:27Hebrews 6:13For the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited. See also: Isaiah 6:11Psalms 107:34Isaiah 27:10I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire. See also: Isaiah 10:33-34Isaiah 37:24Jeremiah 4:6-7“Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this great city?’ See also: 1 Kings 9:8-92 Chronicles 7:20-22Deuteronomy 29:23-26Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’” See also: 2 Chronicles 34:252 Kings 22:17Jeremiah 50:7Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country. See also: Ecclesiastes 4:2Jeremiah 22:11Isaiah 57:1For the LORD says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more. See also: 1 Chronicles 3:152 Chronicles 36:1-42 Kings 23:34But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.” See also: 2 Kings 23:34Jeremiah 22:18“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire; See also: Leviticus 19:13Micah 3:10James 5:4who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red. See also: 2 Samuel 7:2Haggai 1:4Isaiah 5:8-9“Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him. See also: 2 Kings 23:25Isaiah 3:10Ecclesiastes 10:17He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says the LORD. See also: Jeremiah 9:241 John 2:3-4Isaiah 1:17But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.” See also: 2 Peter 2:14Jeremiah 22:32 Kings 24:4Therefore the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying ‘Ah lord!’ or, ‘Ah his glory!’ See also: 1 Kings 13:30Jeremiah 16:6Jeremiah 22:10He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.” See also: Jeremiah 36:301 Kings 21:23-24Jeremiah 36:6“Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been destroyed. See also: Numbers 27:12Lamentations 1:2Ezekiel 23:22I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey my voice. See also: Jeremiah 32:30Jeremiah 3:25Jeremiah 7:22-28The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness. See also: Hosea 13:15Zechariah 11:17Jeremiah 10:21Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail! See also: Jeremiah 6:24Jeremiah 4:30-31Jeremiah 22:6“As I live,” says the LORD, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there. See also: Jeremiah 37:11 Chronicles 3:16Song of Songs 8:6I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. See also: Jeremiah 34:20-21Jeremiah 21:72 Kings 24:15-16I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die. See also: 2 Kings 24:15Jeremiah 15:2-4Isaiah 22:17But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.” See also: Jeremiah 44:14Jeremiah 22:112 Kings 25:27-30Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know? See also: Psalms 31:12Hosea 8:8Jeremiah 48:38O earth, earth, earth, hear the LORD’s word! See also: Deuteronomy 32:1Micah 1:2Jeremiah 6:19The LORD says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.” See also: Jeremiah 36:30Psalms 94:20Matthew 1:11-16

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
