28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken pot,
    a vessel no one wants?
Why are he and his offspring hurled out
    and cast away in a land that they do not know?
29 O land, land, land,

30 Thus says the Lord:

    a man who shall not succeed in his days,
for none of his offspring shall succeed
    in sitting on the throne of David
    and ruling again in Judah.(B)

28 Is this man Jehoiachin(A) a despised, broken pot,(B)
    an object no one wants?
Why will he and his children be hurled(C) out,
    cast into a land(D) they do not know?
29 O land,(E) land, land,
    hear the word of the Lord!
30 This is what the Lord says:
“Record this man as if childless,(F)
    a man who will not prosper(G) in his lifetime,
for none of his offspring(H) will prosper,
    none will sit on the throne(I) of David
    or rule anymore in Judah.”
