17 But you have eyes and heart
    only for your dishonest gain,
(A)for shedding innocent blood,
    and for practising oppression and violence.”

18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:

(B)“They shall not lament for him, saying,
    (C)‘Ah, my brother!’ or ‘Ah, sister!’
They shall not lament for him, saying,
    (D)‘Ah, lord!’ or ‘Ah, his majesty!’
19 With the burial of a donkey (E)he shall be buried,
    dragged and dumped beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”
