International Children’s Bible
17 “But your eyes only look for what you can get dishonestly.
You are always thinking about getting more for yourself.

You are making it hard for people.

“The people of Judah will not cry loudly when Jehoiakim dies.
They will not say, ‘Oh, my brother, I am so sad!
Oh, my sister, I am so sad!’
The people of Judah will not cry for him, saying:

19 The people of Jerusalem will bury him like a donkey.
They will just drag his body away.
Then they will throw it outside the gates of Jerusalem.
