Jeremiah 22:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 (A)Do not weep for the dead or mourn for him,
But weep deeply for the one who goes away;
For (B)he will never return
Or see his native land.
11 For this is what the Lord says regarding [a](C)Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in the place of his father Josiah, who went out from this place: “He will never return there; 12 but in the place where they took him into exile, there he will (D)die and he will not see this land again.

International Standard Version
10 “Don’t cry for the dead
or grieve for them.
Weep bitterly for the one going away,
because he won’t return again
nor see the land of his birth.
11 “For this is what the Lord says about Josiah’s son Shallum,[a] king of Judah, who reigned in place of his father Josiah: ‘He went out from this place and won’t return to it again. 12 He will die in the place where they exiled him, and he won’t ever[b] see this land again.’”
