10 (A)Do not weep for the dead or console him,
But weep continually for the one who goes away,
For (B)he will never return
Or see the land of his birth.

11 For thus says Yahweh in regard to [a](C)Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in the place of Josiah his father, who went forth from this place, “He will never return there; 12 but in the place where they took him away into exile, there he will (D)die and not see this land again.

10 Do not weep for the dead(A) king or mourn(B) his loss;
    rather, weep bitterly for him who is exiled,
because he will never return(C)
    nor see his native land again.

11 For this is what the Lord says about Shallum[a](D) son of Josiah, who succeeded his father as king of Judah but has gone from this place: “He will never return. 12 He will die(E) in the place where they have led him captive; he will not see this land again.”
