Jeremiah 22:10-12

The House of David Under Judgment for Injustice and Covenant Failure

The chapter moves from a covenant summons to the royal house, to the threatened ruin of the palace, to judgment against individual kings, and finally to the cutting off of royal confidence in Coniah.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10 Do 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.

11 For this is what the LORD says concerning Shallum son of Josiah, king of Judah, who succeeded his father Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return,

12 but he will die in the place to which he was exiled; he will never see this land again.”
