Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, even concerning this man: they shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah brother! Neither shall they weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.

And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharaoh: they gave the silver and the gold, [each] man according to his assessment, together with the people of the land to give to Pharaoh Necho.

And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.

And Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim the son of Josiah king over Judah in the place of his father Josiah, and changed his name [to] Jehoiakim. And Pharaoh Necho took his brother Jehoahaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there; but [he] had given the silver and gold to Pharaoh. At that time the land began to be taxed to give the money at the command of Pharaoh; and everyone as he could borrowed the silver and the gold of the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh Necho.

You shall not injure your neighbor, neither shall you rob [him], neither shall the wages of your hireling remain with you until the morning.

You shall not unjustly withhold the wages of the poor and needy of your brothers, or of the strangers who are in your cities.

You shall pay him his wages the same day, the sun shall not go down upon it, because he is poor and he trusts in it; and he shall cry against you to the Lord, and it shall be sin to you.

And they have wrongfully caused [others] to sleep without clothing, and taken away the morsel of the hungry.

They have unrighteously laid wait in narrow places, and have not known the righteous way.

who build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.

Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evils.

For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beetle out of the timber shall speak.

And I will draw near to you in judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the witches, and against the adulteresses, and against them that swear falsely by My name, and against them that keep back the hireling's wages, and them that oppress the widow, and afflict orphans, and that wrest the judgment of the stranger, and do not fear Me, says the Lord Almighty.

Indeed, the wages of the laborers who reaped your fields, which were kept back by you, cry out, and the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
