Jeremiah

Jeremiah 22:24–30

24“As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “evenif you, Coniahd son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off. 25In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread, who want to take your life — to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Chaldeans.e 26I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another land, where neither of you were born — and there you both will die. 27You will never return to the land for which you long.”

28Is this man Coniah a despised and shattered pot,

a jar that no one wants?

Why are he and his descendants hurled out

and cast into a land they do not know?

29O land, land, land,

hear the word of the LORD!

30This is what the LORD says:

“Enroll this man as childless,

a man who will not prosper in his lifetime.

None of his descendants will prosper

to sit on the throne of David

or to rule again in Judah.”
