Jeremiah 22:17

17 "But thine eyes and thine heart are for nothing but thy covetousness and to shed innocent blood, and for oppression and for violence."

Jeremiah 22:17 In-Context

15 Shalt thou reign because thou enclosest thyself in cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Was not this to know Me?" saith the LORD.
17 "But thine eyes and thine heart are for nothing but thy covetousness and to shed innocent blood, and for oppression and for violence."
18 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: "They shall not lament for him, saying, `Ah, my brother!' or, `Ah, sister!' They shall not lament for him, saying, `Ah, lord!' or, `Ah, his glory!'
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
