In context

8 “Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this great city?’

9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.’”

10 Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.

11 For the LORD says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.

12 But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more.”
