Jeremiah 22:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ ‘But you always want to cheat people,
    so that you can get more riches for yourself.
You make plans to kill people who have not done anything wrong.
    You hurt people in cruel ways.’

‘People will not weep when he dies.
    They will not say, “I am very sad, my brother.
    I am very sad, my sister.”
They will not weep and say,
    “What a terrible thing has happened!
    Our great king has died!”
¹⁹ Instead, they will bury him like a dead donkey.
They will pull his dead body to the city's gate.
    They will throw it on the ground outside Jerusalem.’
