18 Therefore, this is what the Lord says about Josiah’s son Jehoiakim, king of Judah,

“They won’t lament for him with these words:[a]
    ‘How terrible, my brother,
        How terrible, my sister!’

    ‘How terrible, lord,
        How terrible, your[c] majesty!’

    dragged out and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.”

    have been crushed.
