  1. Jeremiah 22:30 none of his children shall ever sit upon the throne of David or rule in Judah. This man, Coniah’s grandson, Zerubbabel, was briefly governor but not king.

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.”
