Jeremiah
Jeremiah 22:18–19
18Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
“They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
19He will be buried like a donkey,
dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.
