¹³ May all his offspring die.
    May his family name be blotted out in the next generation.

⁷ We have happy memories of the godly,
    but the name of a wicked person rots away.

²⁸ For the Lord loves justice,
    and he will never abandon the godly.

He will keep them safe forever,
    but the children of the wicked will die.

¹⁹ They will have neither children nor grandchildren,
    nor any survivor in the place where they lived.

³⁰ This is what the Lord says:
‘Let the record show that this man Jehoiachin was childless.
    He is a failure,
for none of his children will succeed him on the throne of David
    to rule over Judah.’

²⁰     You will not be given a proper burial,
for you have destroyed your nation
    and slaughtered your people.
The descendants of such an evil person
    will never again receive honor.
²¹ Kill this man’s children!
    Let them die because of their father’s sins!
They must not rise and conquer the earth,
    filling the world with their cities.”

²² This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
    “I, myself, have risen against Babylon!
I will destroy its children and its children’s children,”
    says the Lord.

¹⁰ You will wipe their children from the face of the earth;
    they will never have descendants.
