Jeremiah 22:23-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
23 You residents of Lebanon,
nestled among the cedars,
how you will groan[a] when labor pains come on you,
agony like a woman in labor.(A)
A Message concerning Coniah
24 “As I live,” says the Lord, “though you, Coniah[b](B) son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were a signet ring(C) on My right hand, I would tear you from it. 25 In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread,(D) who want to take your life, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Chaldeans.

Jeremiah 22:23-25
New International Version
23 You who live in ‘Lebanon,[a](A)’
who are nestled in cedar buildings,
how you will groan when pangs come upon you,
pain(B) like that of a woman in labor!
24 “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin[b](C) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring(D) on my right hand, I would still pull you off. 25 I will deliver(E) you into the hands of those who want to kill you, those you fear—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Babylonians.[c]
