Jeremiah 22:10
Compare all
8 And many nations will pass by this city; and everyone will say to his neighbor, a‘Why has the Lord done so to this great city?’  
9 Then they will answer, a‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshiped other gods and served them.’ ” 
10 Weep not for athe dead, nor bemoan him;
Weep bitterly for him bwho goes away,
For he shall return no more,
Nor see his native country.  

Message to the Sons of Josiah

11 For thus says the Lord concerning aShallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, bwho went from this place: “He shall not return here anymore,  
12 but he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
13 “Woea to him who builds his house by unrighteousness
And his1 chambers by injustice,
bWho uses his neighbor’s service without wages
And gives him nothing for his work,

Jeremiah 22:10-12

In the two foregoing prophecies Jeremiah stated the general principle on which depend the rise and downfall of kings and nations. He now adds for Zedekiah' s warning the history of three thrones which were not established.

The first is that of Shallum the successor of Josiah, who probably took the name of Jehoahaz on his accession (see the marginal references notes).

Jeremiah 22:10

The dead - i. e., Josiah II Chronicles 35:25.

That goeth away - Rather, that is gone away.
