Context of Jeremiah 22:9
7I will send enemies to destroy this place. They will use their weapons to knock it all down. They will cut down the strong beams of cedar wood. They will throw them into the fire. 8People from many nations will see what has happened here. They will ask each other, “Why has the Lord destroyed this great city?” Other people will answer, “He did it because they refused to obey their covenant with the Lord their God. They worshipped other gods instead of him.” ’ 10Do not weep because the king is dead. Do not be sad that he no longer lives. Instead, weep for the king that has gone away. He will never return to see his own land again. 11Josiah's son, Shallum, became king of Judah after his father died. But enemies took him away as a prisoner to a foreign land. The Lord says this about him: ‘He will never return to this land.
