Jeremiah 22:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Is this not to know me? said the LORD.

¹⁷ But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness and for to shed innocent blood and for oppression and for violence, to do it.

¹⁸ Therefore thus hath the LORD said concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! and Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
