— Jeremiah 22:12, Catholic Public Domain Version

“But in the place where they have led him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more.”
“For he will die in the country where they took him as a captive. He will never see this land again.””
“But in the place, to which I have removed him, there shall he die, and he shall not see this land any more.”
“But death will come to him in the place where they have taken him away prisoner, and he will never see this land again.”

And they will answer: ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord their God, and they adored strange gods and served them.’
You should not choose to weep for the dead, nor should you mourn over them with tears. Lament for him who is departing, for he will return no more, nor will he see his native land again.
For thus says the Lord to Shallum, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, who reigned in place of his father, who has departed from this place: He will not return here again.
Instead, he will die in the place to which I have transferred him, and he will not see this land anymore.
Woe to one who builds his house with injustice and his upper rooms without judgment, who oppresses his friend without cause and does not pay him his wages.
And he says: ‘I will build a broad house for myself, with spacious upper rooms.’ He makes windows for himself, and he builds the roof out of cedar, and he paints it with red ocher.
Will you reign because you compare yourself to the cedar? Did your father not eat and drink, and act with judgment and justice, so that it would be well with him?
