Jeremiah 22:18-20

New International Reader's Version

“His people will not mourn for him.
    They will not say,
    ‘My poor brother! My poor sister!’
They will not mourn for him.
    They will not say,
    ‘My poor master! How sad that his glory is gone!’
¹⁹ In fact, he will be buried like a donkey.
    His body will be dragged away and thrown
    outside the gates of Jerusalem.”

²⁰ The Lord says, “People of Jerusalem, go up to Lebanon.
    Cry out for help.
    Let your voice be heard in the land of Bashan.
Cry out from the mountains of Abarim.
    All those who were going to help you are crushed.
