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, 
14 Who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house with spacious1 chambers,
And cut out windows for it,
Paneling it with cedar
And painting it with vermilion.’ 
15 “Shall you reign because you enclose yourself in cedar?
Did not your father eat and drink,
And do justice and righteousness?
Then ait was well with him. 
16 He1 judged the cause of the poor and needy;
Then it was well.
Was not this knowing Me?” says the Lord. 
17 “Yeta your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness,
For shedding innocent blood,
And practicing oppression and violence.”  
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
a“They shall not lament for him,
Saying, b‘Alas, my brother!’ or ‘Alas, my sister!’
They shall not lament for him,
Saying, ‘Alas, master!’ or ‘Alas, his glory!’ 
19 aHe shall be buried with the burial of a donkey,
Dragged and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem. 
20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
And lift up your voice in Bashan;
Cry from Abarim,
For all your lovers are destroyed.
