In context

9And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshiped strange gods, and served them.

10Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.

— Jeremiah 22:11 —

12but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.

13He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbor for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
