Jeremiah 22:18-20

Revised Standard Version

¹⁸Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoi′akim the son of Josi′ah, king of Judah:

“They shall not lament for him, saying,
    ‘Ah my brother!’ or ‘Ah sister!’
They shall not lament for him, saying,
    ‘Ah lord!’ or ‘Ah his majesty!’
¹⁹With the burial of an ass he shall be buried,
    dragged and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”

²⁰“Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
and lift up your voice in Bashan;
cry from Ab′arim,
for all your lovers are destroyed.
