Jeremiah 22:18

A Message Concerning Jehoiakim

¹⁷ But thine eyes and thy heart are not, Except on thy dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence. ¹⁸ Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: They do not lament for him, Ah, my brother, and Ah, sister, They do not lament for him, Ah, lord, and Ah, his honour. ¹⁹ The burial of an ass -- he is buried, Dragged and cast out thence to the gates of Jerusalem.
