MLV(i)
11 For Jehovah says thus concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father and who went forth out of this place: He will not return there any more.
12 But in the place where they have led him captive, there he will die and he will see this land no more.
13 Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness and his chambers by injustice, who uses his neighbor's service without wages and gives him not his hire, 14 who says, I will build me a wide house and spacious chambers and cuts out windows for himself and it is overlaid with cedar and painted with vermilion.
15 Shall you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him. 16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy man, then it was well. Was not this to know me? says Jehovah. 17 But your eyes and your heart are not but for your covetousness and for shedding innocent blood and for oppression and for violence, to do it.
18 Therefore Jehovah says thus concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah. They will not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! They will not lament for him, saying Ah lord! or, Ah his glory! 19 He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
