Weep bitterly for him bwho goes away,
For he shall return no more,
Nor see his native country.
Message to the Sons of Josiah
And his1 chambers by injustice,
bWho uses his neighbor’s service without wages
And gives him nothing for his work,
And cut out windows for it,
Paneling it with cedar
And painting it with vermilion.’

Jeremiah 22:10
Weep ye not for the dead - Josiah, dead in consequence of the wound he had received at Megiddo, in a battle with Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt; but he died in peace with God.
But weep sore for him that goeth away - Namely, Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, called below Shallum, whom Pharaoh-necho had carried captive into Egypt from which it was prophesied he should never return, II Kings 23:30-34. He was called Shallum before he ascended the throne, and Jehoahaz afterwards; so his brother Eliakim changed his name to Jehoiakim, and Mattaniah to Zedekiah.
