Jeremiah 22:17-19

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

and for practising oppression and violence.

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

They shall not lament for him, saying,
    ‘Alas, my brother!’ or ‘Alas, sister!’

¹⁹With the burial of a donkey he shall be buried—
    dragged off and thrown out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
