Context of Jeremiah 22:19

17“But your eyes and your mind are set on nothing but dishonest profits. You kill innocent people and violently oppress your people.” 18This is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim, son of Judah’s King Josiah: People won’t mourn for him and say, “How horrible it is for my brother and sister!” They won’t mourn for him and say, “How horrible it is for my master and his splendor!” He will receive a donkey’s burial. He will be dragged off and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem. 20“Go to Lebanon and cry! Raise your voice in Bashan! Cry out from Abarim, because all your lovers are defeated.” 21I spoke to you when you were prosperous, but you said that you wouldn’t listen. This is how you’ve been ever since you were young. You don’t listen to me.
