Jeremiah 22:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible

11 Josiah's son, Shallum, became king of Judah after his father died. But enemies took him away as a prisoner to a foreign land. The Lord says this about him: ‘He will never return to this land. 12 He will die in the foreign land where they took him as prisoner. He will not see this land again.’

A message about King Jehoiakim[a]

13 The Lord says,

‘Terrible trouble will happen to this man!
He cheats people
    so that he can build a beautiful palace for himself.
He does not do what is right and fair.
He does not pay the people who work for him.
    His own men have to work for nothing.
