19. You will be given a burialfit for a donkey;your body will be draggedoutside the city gatesand tossed in the dust.I, the Lord, have spoken.
20. People of Jerusalem,the nations you trustedhave been crushed.Go to Lebanon and weep;cry in the land of Bashanand in Moab.
21. When times were good,I warned you.But you ignored me,just as you have donesince Israel was young.
22. Now you will be disgracedbecause of your sins.Your leaders will be swept awayby the wind,and the nations you trustedwill be captured and draggedto a foreign country.
23. Those who live in the palacepanelled with cedarwill groan with painlike women giving birth.
24. King Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, even if you were the ring I wear as the sign of my royal power, I would still pull you from my finger.
