19 The people of Jerusalem will bury Jehoiakim like a donkey.
    They will drag his body away and throw it outside the gates of Jerusalem.

20 “Judah, go up to the mountains of Lebanon and cry out.
    Let your voice be heard in the mountains of Bashan.
Cry out in the mountains of Abarim,
    because all your ‘lovers’ will be destroyed.

21 “Judah, you felt safe, but I warned you.
    I warned you, but you refused to listen.

    And from the time you were young,
    you have not obeyed me, Judah.
