Jeremiah 22:10-19

10WeepH1058 ye notH3808 for the deadH4191, neitherH3808 bemoan him: but weepH1058 sore for him that goeth awayH7725; for he shall returnH7725 noH3808 moreH5750, norH3808 seeH7200 his nativeH4138 countryH776.

11For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 touching ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, whichH834 reignedH4427 insteadH8478 of JosiahH2977 his fatherH1, whichH834 wentH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of this placeH4725: He shall notH3808 returnH7725 thither anyH4480 moreH4480;

12But in the placeH4725 whither they have ledH1540 him captiveH1540, there shall he dieH4191, and he shall seeH7200 this landH776 noH3808 moreH5750.

13WoeH1945 unto him that buildeth his houseH1004 by unrighteousness, and his chambersH5944 by injustice; that useth his neighbour’s serviceH1004 withoutH3808 wagesH6467, and giveth him notH3808 his hire;

14that saith, I will buildH1129 meH4886 a wide houseH1004 and spaciousH7304 chambersH5944, and cutteth him out windowsH2474; and it is cieled with cedarH730, and painted with vermilionH8350.

15Shalt thou reignH4427, becauseH3588 thou strivest to excel in cedarH730? didH6213 notH3808 thy fatherH1 eatH398 and drinkH8354, and doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH4941? then it was wellH2896 with him.

16He judged the causeH1779 of the poorH6041 and needyH34; then it was wellH2896. Was notH3808 this to knowH1847 meH3808? saith the LORDH3068.

17But thine eyesH5869 and thine heartH3820 are notH369 but for thy covetousness, and for to shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, and for oppressionH6233, and for violenceH6233, to doH6213 it.

18Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 concerning JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063: They shall notH3808 lamentH5594 for him, sayingH559, AhH1945 my brotherH251! or, AhH1945 sisterH269! they shall notH3808 lamentH5594 for him, sayingH559, AhH1945 lordH3068! or, AhH1945 his gloryH1935!

19He shall be buriedH6912 with the burialH6900 of an ass, drawn and castH7993 forth beyondH1973 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
