Did not thy father eate and drinke and prosper, when he executed iudgement and iustice? 16 When he iudged the cause of the afflicted and the poore, he prospered: was not this because he knewe me, saith the Lorde? 17 But thine eyes and thine heart are but only for thy couetousnesse, and for to sheade innocent blood, and for oppression, and for destruction, euen to doe this. 18 Therefore thus saith the Lorde against Iehoiakim, the sonne of Iosiah king of Iudah, They shall not lament him, saying, Ah, my brother, or ah, sister: neither shall they mourne for him, saying, Ah, lord, or ah, his glorie. 19 He shalbe buryed, as an asse is buryed, euen drawen and cast foorth without the gates of Ierusalem. 20 Goe vp to Lebanon, and cry: showte in Bashan and crye by the passages: for all thy louers are destroyed. 21 I spake vnto thee when thou wast in prosperitie: but thou saidest, I will not heare: this hath bene thy maner from thy youth, that thou wouldest not obey my voyce. 22 The wind shall feede all thy pastors, and thy louers shall goe into captiuitie: and then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded of al thy wickednesse. 23 Thou that dwellest in Lebanon, and makest thy nest in the cedars, howe beautiful shalt thou be when sorowes come vpon thee, as the sorowe of a woman in trauaile?
