Jeremiah 22:20
Compare all
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.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity,
But you said, ‘I will not hear.’
aThis has been your manner from your youth,
That you did not obey My voice. 
22 The wind shall eat up all ayour rulers,
And your lovers shall go into captivity;
Surely then you will be ashamed and humiliated
For all your wickedness. 
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon,
Making your nest in the cedars,
How gracious will you be when pangs come upon you,
Like athe pain of a woman in labor?  

Message to Coniah

24 “As I live,” says the Lord, a“though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, bwere the signet on My right hand, yet I would pluck you off;  
25 aand I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those whose face you fear—the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of the1 Chaldeans.  
26 aSo I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country where you were not born; and there you shall die.  
27 But to the land to which they desire to return, there they shall not return.
28 “Is this man1 Coniah a despised, broken idol—
aA vessel in which is no pleasure?
Why are they cast out, he and his descendants,
And cast into a land which they do not know? 
29 aO earth, earth, earth,
Hear the word of the Lord! 
30 Thus says the Lord:
‘Write this man down as achildless,
A man who shall not prosper in his days;
For bnone of his descendants shall prosper,
Sitting on the throne of David,
And ruling anymore in Judah.’ ”
