New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 Therefore, thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah:
They shall not lament him,
“Alas! my brother”; “Alas! sister.”[a]
They shall not lament him,
“Alas, Lord! alas, Majesty!”(A)
19 The burial of a donkey[b] he shall be given,
dragged forth and cast out
beyond the gates of Jerusalem.(B)
