24“As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “even if you, Coniah 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.
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.”
— Jeremiah 22:24-30
