And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; {Is it} not for you to know judgment?

Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, {even} the crown of your glory. {principalities: or, head tires}

Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,

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.
