Jeremiah 22:18-19

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.

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.
