耶和华如此说：“你下到犹大王的宫中，在那里说这话，

耶和华如此说：“你要下到犹大王的宫中，在那里说这话，

耶和华如此说：“你要下到犹大王的宫中，在那里说这话，

耶和华对我说：“你下到犹大王的宫殿，这样宣告，

耶和华这样说：“你下到犹大王的宫中，在那里宣讲这些话，

耶和華如此說：「你下到猶大王的宮中，在那裏說這話，

耶和華如此說：「你要下到猶大王的宮中，在那裏說這話，

耶和華如此說：「你要下到猶大王的宮中，在那裏說這話，

耶和華對我說：「你下到猶大王的宮殿，這樣宣告，

耶和華這樣說：“你下到猶大王的宮中，在那裡宣講這些話，

永恆主這麼說：『你下猶大王宮中，在那裏講以下這話，

耶和華曰、爾往猶大王宮宣言、

耶和華告耶利米曰、詣猶大王宮告之、

主如是諭我曰、爾詣猶大王宮、以斯言宣之曰、

This is what the Lord says:“ Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there:

The Lord said to Jeremiah,“ Go down to the palace of the king of Judah. Announce my message there. Tell him,

Thus says the Lord:“ Go down to the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word,

This is what the LORD says:“ Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and announce this word there.

This is what the Lord says:“ Go down to the house of the king of Judah and there speak this word,

Thus says the Lord:“ Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and there speak this word,

Thus said Jehovah: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,

This is what the Lord says:“ Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and announce this word there.

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

The LORD told me,“ Go down to the palace of the king of Judah. Give him a message from me there.

Yahweh said,“ Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word, there:

“ Go to King Zedekiah of Judah, and tell him,‘ This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am about to hand this city over to the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.

So the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to tell David this story:“ There were two men in a certain town. One was rich, and one was poor.

The next morning the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, who was David’s seer. This was the message:“ Go and say to David,‘ This is what the Lord says: I will give you three choices. Choose one of these punishments, and I will inflict it on you.’”

John had been telling Herod,“ It is against God’s law for you to marry your brother’s wife.”

“ Say to the royal family of Judah,‘ Listen to this message from the Lord!

“ Hear this, you priests. Pay attention, you leaders of Israel. Listen, you members of the royal family. Judgment has been handed down against you. For you have led the people into a snare by worshiping the idols at Mizpah and Tabor.

This made the Lord very angry, and he sent a prophet to ask,“ Why do you turn to gods who could not even save their own people from you?”But the king interrupted him and said,“ Since when have I made you the king’s counselor? Be quiet now before I have you killed!” So the prophet stopped with this warning:“ I know that God has determined to destroy you because you have done this and have refused to accept my counsel.”

John also publicly criticized Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, for marrying Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for many other wrongs he had done.So Herod put John in prison, adding this sin to his many others.

“ Go down to meet King Ahab of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He will be at Naboth’s vineyard in Jezreel, claiming it for himself.Give him this message:‘ This is what the Lord says: Wasn’t it enough that you killed Naboth? Must you rob him, too? Because you have done this, dogs will lick your blood at the very place where they licked the blood of Naboth!’”“ So, my enemy, you have found me!” Ahab exclaimed to Elijah.“ Yes,” Elijah answered,“ I have come because you have sold yourself to what is evil in the Lord’s sight.

Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him.“ Why should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord?” he asked the king.“ Because of what you have done, the Lord is very angry with you.Even so, there is some good in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles throughout the land, and you have committed yourself to seeking God.”

Don’t bother us with your prophecies here in Bethel. This is the king’s sanctuary and the national place of worship!”

The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they ignored all his warnings.

Then Samuel said to Saul,“ Stop! Listen to what the Lord told me last night!”“ What did he tell you?” Saul asked.And Samuel told him,“ Although you may think little of yourself, are you not the leader of the tribes of Israel? The Lord has anointed you king of Israel.And the Lord sent you on a mission and told you,‘ Go and completely destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, until they are all dead.’Why haven’t you obeyed the Lord? Why did you rush for the plunder and do what was evil in the Lord’s sight?”“ But I did obey the Lord,” Saul insisted.“ I carried out the mission he gave me. I brought back King Agag, but I destroyed everyone else.Then my troops brought in the best of the sheep, goats, cattle, and plunder to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”But Samuel replied,“ What is more pleasing to the Lord: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.”
