Jeremiah 22:15-19

Jeremiah 22:15-19

[15] Shalt thou reign,  because thou closest  thyself in cedar?  did not thy father  eat  and drink,  and do  judgment  and justice,  and then it was well  with him? [16] He judged  the cause  of the poor  and needy;  then it was well  with him: was not this to know  me? saith  the LORD.  [17] But thine eyes  and thine heart  are not but for thy covetousness,  and for to shed  innocent  blood,  and for oppression,  and for violence,  to do  it. [18] Therefore thus saith  the LORD  concerning Jehoiakim  the son  of Josiah  king  of Judah;  They shall not lament  for him, saying, Ah  my brother!  or, Ah  sister!  they shall not lament  for him, saying, Ah  lord!  or, Ah  his glory!  [19] He shall be buried  with the burial  of an ass,  drawn  and cast forth  beyond  the gates  of Jerusalem.
