The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Literal Fulfillment

While the prophecy is stated in concrete terms, the exact manner of Jehoiakim's death and burial is debated among scholars, with some suggesting a less literal interpretation of "cast out" than a complete lack of burial.

Prophecy Fulfilled Literally
