Jeremiah 22:16-18

Living Bible

¹⁶ He saw to it that justice and help were given the poor and the needy and all went well for him. This is how a man lives close to God. ¹⁷ But you! You are full of selfish greed and all dishonesty! You murder the innocent, oppress the poor, and reign with ruthlessness.

¹⁸ Therefore this is God’s decree of punishment against King Jehoiakim, who succeeded his father Josiah on the throne: His family will not weep for him when he dies. His subjects will not even care that he is dead.
