Jeremiah

Jeremiah 22:10–12

¹⁰Do not weep for him who is dead;

do not mourn his loss.

Weep bitterly for him who is exiled,

for he will never return

to see his native land.

¹¹For this is what the LORD says concerning Shallum^a son of Josiah, king of Judah, who succeeded his father Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return, ¹²but he will die in the place to which he was exiled; he will never see this land again.”
