The verse 15 is found in chapter 22 of Jeremiah. Jehoiakim is condemned for building his palace through injustice and exploitation. The contrast with his father Josiah is explicit: knowing God is demonstrated by defending the poor and needy. The dishonorable burial announced for Jehoiakim represents the reversal of the expectations of a king who sought personal greatness.
