24:022:008 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say
           every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the lord done thus
           unto this great city?

24:022:009 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the
           covenant of the lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and
           served them.

24:022:010 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him:  but weep sore
           for him that goeth away:  for he shall return no more, nor see
           his native country.

24:022:011 For thus saith the lord touching Shallum the son of Josiah
           king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father,
           which went forth out of this place; He shall not return
           thither any more: 

24:022:012 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him
           captive, and shall see this land no more.

24:022:013 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and
           his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour’s service
           without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

24:022:014 That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers,
           and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and
           painted with vermilion.

24:022:015 Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did
           not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and
           then it was well with him?

24:022:016 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well
           with him:  was not this to know me? saith the lord.

24:022:017 But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy
           covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for
           oppression, and for violence, to do it.

24:022:018 Therefore thus saith the lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of
           Josiah 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 glory!

24:022:019 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast
           forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

24:022:020 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan,
           and cry from the passages:  for all thy lovers are destroyed.

24:022:021 I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will
           not hear.  This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou
           obeyedst not my voice.

24:022:022 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go
           into captivity:  surely then shalt thou be ashamed and
           confounded for all thy wickedness.

24:022:023 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars,
           how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain
           as of a woman in travail!
