Jeremiah 22:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹In fact, he will be buried like a donkey.
His body will be dragged away and thrown
outside the gates of Jerusalem.”

²⁰The Lord says, “People of Jerusalem, go up to Lebanon.
    Cry out for help.
    Let your voice be heard in the land of Bashan.
Cry out from the mountains of Abarim.
    All those who were going to help you are crushed.
²¹When you felt secure, I warned you.
    But you said, ‘I won’t listen!’
You have acted like that ever since you were young.
    You have not obeyed me.
