Jeremiah 22:10-14

Do not weep for the dead or mourn for him, But weep deeply for the one who goes away; For he will never return Or see his native land.

For this is what the Lord says regarding Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in the place of his father Josiah, who went out from this place: “He will never return there;

but in the place where they took him into exile, there he will die and he will not see this land again. Messages about the Kings

“Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, And his upstairs rooms without justice, Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay And does not give him his wages,

Who says, ‘I will build myself a large house With spacious upstairs rooms, And cut out its windows, Paneling it with cedar and painting it bright red.’
