rsv Jeremiah:22:11-19
rsv@Jeremiah:22:11 @ For thus says the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josi'ah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josi'ah his father, and who went away from this place: "He shall return here no more,
rsv@Jeremiah:22:12 @ but in the place where they have carried him captive, there shall he die, and he shall never see this land again."
rsv@Jeremiah:22:13 @ "Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing, and does not give him his wages;
rsv@Jeremiah:22:14 @ who says, `I will build myself a great house with spacious upper rooms,' and cuts out windows for it, paneling it with cedar, and painting it with vermilion.
rsv@Jeremiah:22:15 @ Do you think you are a king because you compete in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
rsv@Jeremiah:22:16 @ He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Is not this to know me? says the LORD.
rsv@Jeremiah:22:17 @ But you have eyes and heart only for your dishonest gain, for shedding innocent blood, and for practicing oppression and violence."
rsv@Jeremiah:22:18 @ Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoi'akim the son of Josi'ah, king of Judah: "They shall not lament for him, saying, `Ah my brother!' or `Ah sister!' They shall not lament for him, saying, `Ah lord!' or `Ah his majesty!'
rsv@Jeremiah:22:19 @ With the burial of an ass he shall be buried, dragged and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem."
