The king and princes are exhorted to execute judgment, and are assured that, if they did so, the royal family should flourish, but otherwise it should be ruined, ver. 1-9 . Jehoahaz, called here Shallum, is lamented, ver. 10-12 . Jehoiakim is reproved and threatened, ver. 13-19 . II.

( b. c. 590.) 1 Thus saith the Lord ; Go down to the hou
