Jeremiah 22:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord against Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah, They shall not [a]lament him, saying, Ah, my brother, or ah sister: neither shall they mourn for him, saying, Ah, lord, or ah, his glory.
19 He shall be buried, as an ass [b]is buried, even drawn and cast forth without the gates of Jerusalem.
20 ¶ Go up to [c]Lebanon, and cry: shout in [d]Bashan, and cry by the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
