Jeremiah 22

YHWH commands the king of Judah to execute justice, protect the vulnerable, and avoid violence, promising enduring Davidic kingship for obedience but desolation for disobedience; he warns of destroyers cutting down the palace cedars like those of Lebanon, due to covenant forsaken for idolatry.[1][2][3][5] The chapter pronounces judgments on kings Shallum, Jehoiakim (buried like a donkey for oppression unlike Josiah), and Jehoiachin (cast off like a signet ring to die in Babylon without return).[1][4][5]
