Thus saith Yahweh, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
And say, Hear the word of Yahweh, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
Therefore thus saith Yahweh; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith Yahweh; because he hath taught rebellion against Yahweh.
Therefore thus saith Yahweh of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
