18. Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:“They shall not lament for him,Saying, ‘Alas, my brother!’ or ‘Alas, my sister!’They shall not lament for him,Saying, ‘Alas, master!’ or ‘Alas, his glory!’
19. He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey,Dragged and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20. “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,And lift up your voice in Bashan;Cry from Abarim,For all your lovers are destroyed.
21. I spoke to you in your prosperity,But you said, ‘I will not hear.’This has been your manner from your youth,That you did not obey My voice.
22. The wind shall eat up all your rulers,And your lovers shall go into captivity;Surely then you will be ashamed and humiliatedFor all your wickedness.
23. O inhabitant of Lebanon,Making your nest in the cedars,How gracious will you be when pangs come upon you,Like the pain of a woman in labor?
