Jeremiah 22:17-19

Jeremiah 22:17-19 NCV

“But you only look for and think about what you can get dishonestly. You are even willing to kill innocent people to get it. You feel free to hurt people and to steal from them.” So this is what the LORD says to Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “The people of Judah will not cry when Jehoiakim dies, saying: ‘Oh, my brother,’ or ‘Oh, my sister.’ They will not cry for him, saying: ‘Oh, master,’ or ‘Oh, my king.’ They will bury him like a donkey, dragging his body away and throwing it outside the gates of Jerusalem.
