Jeremiah 22:17-19
Lexham English Bible

17 “But there is nothing in your eyes and your heart
    except[a] your unlawful gain,
and on shedding the blood of the innocent,
    and on committing oppression and extortion.”

18 Therefore[b] thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah:

“They will not lament for him,
    ‘Alas, my brother,’ or ‘Alas, sister.’
They will not lament for him,
    ‘Alas, lord,’ or ‘alas, his majesty.’
19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey.
    He will be[c] dragged away and thrown outside[d] the gates of Jerusalem.
