Jeremiah 22:18

A Message Concerning Jehoiakim

¹⁷ But you are always thinking and looking for ways to increase your wealth by dishonest means. Your eyes and your heart are set on killing some innocent person and committing fraud and oppression. ¹⁸ So the Lord has this to say about Josiah's son, King Jehoiakim of Judah: People will not mourn for him, saying, "This makes me sad, my brother! This makes me sad, my sister!" They will not mourn for him, saying, "Poor, poor lord! Poor, poor majesty!" ¹⁹ He will be left unburied just like a dead donkey. His body will be dragged off and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.'"
