Did not thy father eate and drinke and prosper well, as long as he dealt with equitie and righteousnesse? 16 Yea, when he helped the oppressed and poore to their right, then prospered he well: From whence came this, but onlye because he knewe me, saith the Lorde? 17 Neuerthelesse, as for thyne eyes and thyne heart they loke vpon couetousnesse, to shed innocent blood, to do wrong and violence. 18 And therefore thus saith the Lorde against Iehoakim the sonne of Iosias kyng of Iuda: They shall not mourne for hym as they vse to do Alas brother, alas sister: neither shall they say vnto him, Alas sir, alas for that noble prince. 19 But as an asse shall he be buried, corrupt, and be cast without the gates of Hierusalem.
