“The people will not mourn for him, crying to one another,
    ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
His subjects will not mourn for him, crying,
    ‘Alas, our master is dead! Alas, his splendor is gone!’
¹⁹ He will be buried like a dead donkey—
    dragged out of Jerusalem and dumped outside the gates!
²⁰ Weep for your allies in Lebanon.
    Shout for them in Bashan.
Search for them in the regions east of the river.^[a]
    See, they are all destroyed.
    Not one is left to help you.
