Jeremiah 22:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁸And many nations will pass by this city, and all of them will say one to another, ‘Why has the Lord dealt in this way with that great city?’ ⁹And they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods and served them.’

¹⁰Do not weep for him who is dead,
    nor bemoan him;
weep rather for him who goes away,
    for he shall return no more
    to see his native land.
