Jeremiah 22:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 He pled the cause of the (A)afflicted and the poor,
Then it was well.
(B)Is that not what it means to know Me?”
Declares the Lord.
17 “But your eyes and your heart
Are intent only upon your own (C)dishonest gain,
And on (D)shedding innocent blood,
And on practicing oppression and extortion.”
18 Therefore this is what the Lord says regarding (E)Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
“They will not (F)mourn for him:
‘(G)Oh, my brother!’ or, ‘Oh, sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Oh, for the master!’ or, ‘Oh, for his splendor!’
