Jeremiah 22:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 He judged the legal cause of the needy and the poor,
and then it was well.
Is that not what it means to know me?[a]” declares[b] Yahweh.
17 “But there is nothing in your eyes and your heart
except[c] your unlawful gain,
and on shedding the blood of the innocent,
and on committing oppression and extortion.”
18 Therefore[d] thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah:
“They will not lament for him,
‘Alas, my brother,’ or ‘Alas, sister.’
They will not lament for him,
‘Alas, lord,’ or ‘alas, his majesty.’
