Jeremiah 22:24-30
World English Bible
24 “As I live,” says Yahweh, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there. 25 I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die. 27 But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel?
Is he a vessel in which no one delights?
Why are they cast out, he and his offspring,
and cast into a land which they don’t know?
29 O earth, earth, earth,
hear Yahweh’s word!
30 Yahweh says,
“Record this man as childless,
a man who will not prosper in his days;
for no more will a man of his offspring prosper,
sitting on David’s throne,
and ruling in Judah.”
Jeremiah 22:24-30
New American Standard Bible
24 “As I live,” declares the Lord, “even if [a](A)Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were a (B)signet ring on My right hand, yet I would pull [b]you [c]off; 25 and I will (C)hand you over to those who are seeking your life, yes, to those of whom you are frightened, that is, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Chaldeans. 26 I will (D)hurl you and your (E)mother who gave birth to you into another country where you were not born, and there you will die. 27 But as for the land to which they long to return, they will not return to it.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered jar?
Or is he an (F)undesirable vessel?
Why have he and his descendants been (G)hurled out
And cast into a (H)land that they had not known?
29 (I)O land, land, land,
Hear the word of the Lord!
30 This is what the Lord says:
‘Write this man down as (J)childless,
A man who will (K)not prosper in his days;
For no man among his (L)descendants will prosper
Sitting on the throne of David
Or ruling again in Judah.’”
