Jeremiah 22:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

‘People will not weep when he dies.
    They will not say, “I am very sad, my brother.
    I am very sad, my sister.”
They will not weep and say,
    “What a terrible thing has happened!
    Our great king has died!”
¹⁹ Instead, they will bury him like a dead donkey.
They will pull his dead body to the city's gate.
    They will throw it on the ground outside Jerusalem.’

²⁰ ‘Go up to Lebanon and cry aloud.^[a]
    Shout loudly in Bashan.
    Cry aloud from the mountains of Moab.
The nations that were your lovers
    have lost their power.
