Jeremiah 22:24-30

Oracle Against King Coniah (Jehoiachin)

Jeremiah 22:24-30
24
"As I live," says ADONAI, "even if Koniyahu the son of Y'hoyakim king of Y'hudah were the signet ring on my right hand, I would pull you off
25
and hand you over to those who seek your life, to those you fear, N'vukhadretzar king of Bavel and the Kasdim.
26
I will hurl you and the mother who gave birth to you into a country different from the one you were born in, and you will die there.
27
They will not return to the country to which they long to return."
28
Is this man Koniyahu a despised, broken pot, an instrument nobody wants? Why are they being thrown out? Why are he and his offspring thrown out into a country they do not know?
29
Oh, land, land, land! Hear the word of ADONAI!
30
This what ADONAI says: "List this man as childless; he is a lifetime failure - none of his offspring will succeed, none will sit on David's throne or rule again in Y'hudah."
