Jeremiah 22:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ “And many nations shall pass by this city. And every man shall say to his neighbor, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this great city?’

⁹ “Then they shall answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the Covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods and served them.’”’”

¹⁰ Do not weep for the dead, and do not be moved for them. Weep for him who goes out. For he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
