16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy;then it was well with him.Is not this what it means to know Me?says the Lord.
17 But your eyes and your heartare intent only on your covetousnessand on shedding innocent bloodand on oppression and violence.
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: They will not lament for him, saying,“Ah, my brother!” or, “Ah, sister!”They will not lament for him, saying,“Ah, lord!” or, “Ah, his glory!”
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey,drawn and cast outbeyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Go up to Lebanon and cry out,and lift up your voice in Bashan,and cry out from Abarim,for all your lovers are destroyed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity,but you said, “I will not listen!”This has been your manner from your youth,that you have not obeyed My voice.
22 The wind will sweep away all your shepherds,and your lovers shall go into captivity;surely then you will be ashamed and humiliatedfor all your wickedness.
