11 For thus saith the Lord, As touching [a]Shallum the son of Josiah King of Judah, which reigned for Josiah his father, which went out of this place, he shall not return thither,

12 But he shall die in the place, whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

13 ¶ Woe unto him that buildeth his house by [b]unrighteousness, and his chambers without equity: he useth his neighbor without wages, and giveth him not for his work.
