29 And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘This is what the Lord says: “You have (A)burned this scroll, saying, ‘(B)Why have you written on it [a]that the (C)king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will make mankind and animals disappear from it?’” 30 Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He shall have (D)no one to sit on the throne of David, and his (E)dead body shall be thrown out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. 31 I will also (F)punish him, his [b]descendants, and his servants for their wrongdoing, and I will (G)bring on them and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the people of Judah all the disaster that I have declared to them—but they did not listen.”’”
