19 With the funeral honors of a donkey,
    he will be dragged away
    and thrown outside Jerusalem's gates.”

Jeremiah's Message about the Fate of Jerusalem

20 People of Jerusalem, go to Lebanon and shout,
    go to the land of Bashan and cry;
call out from the mountains of Moab,
    because all your allies have been defeated.
21 The Lord spoke to you when you were prosperous,
    but you refused to listen.
That is what you've done all your life;
    you never would obey the Lord.
