Jehoiachin Reigns in Judah

(A)Jehoiachin was (B)eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

With hooks (A)they put him in a cage[a]
    and (B)brought him to the king of Babylon;
    they brought him into custody,
that his voice should no more be heard
    on (C)the mountains of Israel.

10 Your mother was (D)like a vine in a vineyard[b]
    planted by the water,
(E)fruitful and full of branches
    (F)by reason of abundant water.
11 Its strong stems became
    rulers' scepters;
it towered aloft
    among the thick boughs;[c]
it was seen in its height
    with the mass of its branches.
12 But the vine was plucked up in fury,
    cast down to the ground;
(G)the east wind dried up its fruit;
    they were stripped off and withered.
As for its strong stem,
    fire consumed it.
13 (H)Now it is planted in the wilderness,
    in a dry and thirsty land.
14 (I)And fire has gone out from the stem of its shoots,
    has consumed its fruit,
(J)so that there remains in it no strong stem,
    no scepter for ruling.

This is (K)a lamentation and has become a lamentation.

And when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord:

(A)“‘Those who are for pestilence, to pestilence,
    and those who are for the sword, to the sword;
those who are for famine, to famine,
    and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’

(B)I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the Lord: the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, and (C)the birds of the air (D)and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. (E)And I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what (F)Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.
