Do not weep for the dead nor bemoan him, but weep sore for him that goes away, for he shall return no more nor see his native country. For thus hath the LORD said of Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, He who went forth out of this place shall not return there any more; but he shall die in the place where they have led him captive and shall see this land no more.


Therefore the LORD, the God of the hosts, the Lord, said this: Wailing shall be in all streets, and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing. And in all vineyards shall be wailing, for I will pass through the midst of thee, said the LORD.

Do not weep for the dead nor bemoan him, but weep sore for him that goes away, for he shall return no more nor see his native country.
