8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why hath the LORD done thus to this great city?
9 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.
10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: [but] weep bitterly for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
11 For thus saith the LORD concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth from this place; He shall not return thither any more:
12 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
