20 “Go up to Lebanon, and cry out,
    and lift up your voice in Bashan;
cry out from (A)Abarim,
    for all (B)your lovers are destroyed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity,
    but you said, ‘I will not listen.’
(C)This has been your way from (D)your youth,
    that you have not obeyed my voice.
22 (E)The wind shall shepherd all your shepherds,
    and (F)your lovers shall go into captivity;
(G)then you will be ashamed and confounded
    because of all your evil.
23 O inhabitant of (H)Lebanon,
    nested among the cedars,
how you will be pitied when pangs come upon you,
    (I)pain as of a woman in labor!”

24 (J)“As I live, declares the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were (K)the signet ring on my right hand, yet I would tear you off 25 and (L)give you (M)into the hand of those who seek your life, into the hand of those of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 (N)I will hurl you and (O)the mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born, and there you shall die. 27 But to the land to which they will long to return, there they shall not return.”

28 Is this man (P)Coniah a despised, broken pot,
    a (Q)vessel no one cares for?
Why are he and his children hurled and cast
    into a (R)land that they do not know?
29 (S)O land, land, land,
    hear the word of the Lord!
30 Thus says the Lord:
“Write this man down as (T)childless,
    a man who shall not succeed in his days,
(U)for none of his offspring shall succeed
    (V)in sitting on the throne of David
    and ruling again in Judah.”

20 “Go up to Lebanon and cry out,(A)
    let your voice be heard in Bashan,(B)
cry out from Abarim,(C)
    for all your allies(D) are crushed.
21 I warned you when you felt secure,(E)
    but you said, ‘I will not listen!’
This has been your way from your youth;(F)
    you have not obeyed(G) me.
22 The wind(H) will drive all your shepherds(I) away,
    and your allies(J) will go into exile.
Then you will be ashamed and disgraced(K)
    because of all your wickedness.
23 You who live in ‘Lebanon,[a](L)
    who are nestled in cedar buildings,
how you will groan when pangs come upon you,
    pain(M) like that of a woman in labor!

24 “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin[b](N) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring(O) on my right hand, I would still pull you off. 25 I will deliver(P) you into the hands of those who want to kill you, those you fear—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Babylonians.[c] 26 I will hurl(Q) you and the mother(R) who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return(S) to.”

28 Is this man Jehoiachin(T) a despised, broken pot,(U)
    an object no one wants?
Why will he and his children be hurled(V) out,
    cast into a land(W) they do not know?
29 O land,(X) land, land,
    hear the word of the Lord!
30 This is what the Lord says:
“Record this man as if childless,(Y)
    a man who will not prosper(Z) in his lifetime,
for none of his offspring(AA) will prosper,
    none will sit on the throne(AB) of David
    or rule anymore in Judah.”
