Context of Jeremiah 22:9

7I will consecrate destroyers against you, each with his own weapons. They will cut down your choice cedars and cast them into the fire. 8Many nations will pass by this city, and they will say, each to his neighbor, ‘Why has Adonai done such a thing to this great city?’ Then they will answer: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Adonai their God, and worshipped other gods and served them.’” 10Weep not for the dead or bemoan him. Weep bitterly for him who departs, for he will never return, or see his native country again. 11For thus says Adonai to Shallum, son of King Josiah of Judah, who became king in place of his father Josiah: “He who went forth from this place will never return there.
