Jeremiah 22:10 Context
8And many nations shall passe by this citie, and they shall say euery man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this great citie? 9Then they shall answere, Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and serued them. 10¶ Weepe ye not for the dead, neither bemoane him, but weepe sore for him that goeth away: for he shall returne no more, nor see his natiue countrey. 11For thus saith the Lord touching Shallum, the sonne of Iosiah king of Iudah which reigned in stead of Iosiah his father, which went forth out of this place, He shall not returne thither any more. 12But he shall die in the place whither they haue led him captiue, and shal see this land no more.
