Jeremiah 22:18

A Message Concerning Jehoiakim

¹⁷ But you have eyes and a heart for nothing
except your own dishonest profit,
shedding innocent blood
and committing extortion and oppression. ¹⁸ Therefore, this is what the Lord says concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:

They will not mourn for him, saying,
“Woe, my brother!” or “Woe, my sister!”
They will not mourn for him, saying,
“Woe, lord! Woe, his majesty!”
¹⁹ He will be buried like a donkey,
dragged off and thrown
outside the gates of Jerusalem.
