9 Then they shall answer{H559}{(H8804)}, Because they have forsaken{H5800}{(H8804)} the covenant{H1285} of the LORD{H3068} their God{H430}, and worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)} other{H312} gods{H430}, and served{H5647}{(H8799)} them. 10 Weep{H1058}{(H8799)} ye not for the dead{H4191}{(H8801)}, neither bemoan{H5110}{(H8799)} him: but weep{H1058}{(H8798)} sore{H1058}{(H8800)} for him that goeth away{H1980}{(H8802)}: for he shall return{H7725}{(H8799)} no more, nor see{H7200}{(H8804)} his native{H4138} country{H776}. 11 For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} touching{H413} Shallum{H7967} the son{H1121} of Josiah{H2977} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063}, which reigned{H4427}{(H8802)} instead of Josiah{H2977} his father{H1}, which went forth{H3318}{(H8804)} out of this place{H4725}; He shall not return{H7725}{(H8799)} thither any more: 12 But he shall die{H4191}{(H8799)} in the place{H4725} whither they have led him captive{H1540}{(H8689)}, and shall see{H7200}{(H8799)} this land{H776} no more. 13 Woe{H1945} unto him that buildeth{H1129}{(H8802)} his house{H1004} by{H3808} unrighteousness{H6664}, and his chambers{H5944} by wrong{H4941}; that useth his neighbour's{H7453} service{H5647}{(H8799)} without wages{H2600}, and giveth{H5414}{(H8799)} him not for his work{H6467}; 14 That saith{H559}{(H8802)}, I will build{H1129}{(H8799)} me a wide{H4060} house{H1004} and large{H7304}{(H8794)} chambers{H5944}, and cutteth him out{H7167}{(H8804)} windows{H2474}; and it is cieled{H5603}{(H8803)} with cedar{H730}, and painted{H4886}{(H8800)} with vermilion{H8350}. 15 Shalt thou reign{H4427}{(H8799)}, because thou closest{H8474}{(H8808)} thyself in cedar{H730}? did not thy father{H1} eat{H398}{(H8804)} and drink{H8354}{(H8804)}, and do{H6213}{(H8804)} judgment{H4941} and justice{H6666}, and then it was well{H2896} with him? 16 He judged{H1777}{(H8804)} the cause{H1779} of the poor{H6041} and needy{H34}; then it was well{H2896} with him: was not this to know{H1847} me? saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. 17 But thine eyes{H5869} and thine heart{H3820} are not but for thy covetousness{H1215}, and for to shed{H8210}{(H8800)} innocent{H5355} blood{H1818}, and for oppression{H6233}, and for violence{H4835}, to do{H6213}{(H8800)} it. 18 Therefore thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} concerning Jehoiakim{H3079} the son{H1121} of Josiah{H2977} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063}; They shall not lament{H5594}{(H8799)} for him, saying, Ah{H1945} my brother{H251}! or, Ah{H1945} sister{H269}! they shall not lament{H5594}{(H8799)} for him, saying, Ah{H1945} lord{H113}! or, Ah{H1945} his glory{H1935}! 19 He shall be buried{H6912}{(H8735)} with the burial{H6900} of an ass{H2543}, drawn{H5498}{(H8800)} and cast forth{H7993}{(H8687)} beyond{H1973} the gates{H8179} of Jerusalem{H3389}. 20 Go up{H5927}{(H8798)} to Lebanon{H3844}, and cry{H6817}{(H8798)}; and lift up{H5414}{(H8798)} thy voice{H6963} in Bashan{H1316}, and cry{H6817}{(H8798)} from the passages{H5676}: for all thy lovers{H157}{(H8764)} are destroyed{H7665}{(H8738)}. 21 I spake{H1696}{(H8765)} unto thee in thy prosperity{H7962}; but thou saidst{H559}{(H8804)}, I will not hear{H8085}{(H8799)}. This hath been thy manner{H1870} from thy youth{H5271}, that thou obeyedst{H8085}{(H8804)} not my voice{H6963}. 22 The wind{H7307} shall eat up{H7462}{(H8799)} all thy pastors{H7462}{(H8802)}, and thy lovers{H157}{(H8764)} shall go{H3212}{(H8799)} into captivity{H7628}: surely then shalt thou be ashamed{H954}{(H8799)} and confounded{H3637}{(H8738)} for all thy wickedness{H7451}. 23 O inhabitant{H3427}{(H8802)} of Lebanon{H3844}, that makest thy nest{H7077}{(H8794)} in the cedars{H730}, how gracious{H2603}{(H8738)} shalt thou be when pangs{H2256} come{H935}{(H8800)} upon thee, the pain{H2427} as of a woman in travail{H3205}{(H8802)}!
