Jeremiah 22:16-18
Names of God Bible
16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy.
Everything went well for him.
Isn’t this what it means to know me?” asks Yahweh.
17 “But your eyes and your mind are set on nothing but dishonest profits.
You kill innocent people and violently oppress your people.”
18 This is what Yahweh says about Jehoiakim, son of Judah’s King Josiah:
People won’t mourn for him and say,
“How horrible it is for my brother and sister!”
They won’t mourn for him and say,
“How horrible it is for my master and his splendor!”
Jeremiah 22:16-18
New International Version
16 He defended the cause of the poor and needy,(A)
and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know(B) me?”
declares the Lord.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
are set only on dishonest gain,(C)
on shedding innocent blood(D)
and on oppression and extortion.”(E)
18 Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
“They will not mourn(F) for him:
‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
