11 For thus saith the Lord touching vShallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, uwwhich went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more: 12 But he shall die win the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

13  xWoe unto yhim that buildeth his house by unrighteousness,

And his zchambers by wrong;

aThat useth his neighbour’s service bwithout wages,

And giveth him not for his work;

14  That saith, I will build me a wide house and †large zchambers,

And cutteth him out ||windows;

And it is ccieled with cedar, and painted dwith vermilion.

15  Shalt thou reign, because thou eclosest thyself in cedar?

Did not thy father eat and drink,

And fdo judgment and justice,

And then git was well with him?

16  He judged hthe cause of the poor and needy; then git was well with him:

Was not this ito know me? saith the Lord.

17  jBut thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy kcovetousness,

And jfor to shed innocent blood,

And jlfor oppression, and for ||violence, to do it.

18  Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning mJehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah;

n*They shall not lament for him, saying, oAh my brother! or, Ah sister!

They shall not lament for him, saying, pAh lord! or, Ah his glory!

19  He shall be buried with the burial of an ass,

qDrawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
