Jeremiah 22:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁸Therefore thus says the Lord concerning King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah:

They shall not lament for him, saying,
    ‘Alas, my brother!’ or ‘Alas, sister!’
They shall not lament for him, saying,
    ‘Alas, lord!’ or ‘Alas, his majesty!’
¹⁹With the burial of a donkey he shall be buried—
    dragged off and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

²⁰Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
and lift up your voice in Bashan;
cry out from Abarim,
for all your lovers are crushed.
