Jeremiah 36:29-31
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
29 And against Jehoiakim, king of Judah, say this: Thus says the Lord: You are the one who burned that scroll, saying, “Why did you write on it: Babylon’s king shall surely come and ravage this land, emptying it of every living thing”? 30 The Lord now says of Jehoiakim, king of Judah:(A) No descendant of his shall sit on David’s throne; his corpse shall be thrown out, exposed to heat by day, frost by night.[a] 31 I will punish him and his descendants and his officials for their wickedness; upon them, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the people of Judah I will bring all the evil threats to which they did not listen.
