8. And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why has the LORD done thus unto this great city?
9. Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.
10. Weep not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
11. For thus says the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth out of this place;
12. But he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
