18. Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: “They will not lament for him, ‘Alas, my brother,’ or ‘Alas, sister.’ They will not lament for him, ‘Alas, lord,’ or ‘alas, his majesty.’
19. He will be buried with the burial of a donkey. He will be dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.
