A Message concerning Coniah
24 “As I live”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“though you, Coniah[a](A) son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were a signet ring(B) on my right hand, I would tear you from it. 25 In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread,(C) who intend to take your life, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Chaldeans. 26 I will hurl you and the mother who gave birth(D) to you into another land,(E) where neither of you were born, and there you will both die. 27 They will never return to the land they long to return to.”
28 Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered pot,(F)
a jar no one wants?
Why are he and his descendants hurled out
and cast into a land they have not known?
29 Earth, earth, earth,
hear the word of the Lord!
30 This is what the Lord says:
Record this man as childless,(G)
a man who will not be successful in his lifetime.
None of his descendants will succeed
in sitting on the throne of David(H)
or ruling again in Judah.

Jeremiah 22:24-30
New International Version
24 “As surely as I live,” declares the Lord, “even if you, Jehoiachin[a](A) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring(B) on my right hand, I would still pull you off. 25 I will deliver(C) you into the hands of those who want to kill you, those you fear—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the Babylonians.[b] 26 I will hurl(D) you and the mother(E) who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return(F) to.”
28 Is this man Jehoiachin(G) a despised, broken pot,(H)
an object no one wants?
Why will he and his children be hurled(I) out,
cast into a land(J) they do not know?
29 O land,(K) land, land,
hear the word of the Lord!
30 This is what the Lord says:
“Record this man as if childless,(L)
a man who will not prosper(M) in his lifetime,
for none of his offspring(N) will prosper,
none will sit on the throne(O) of David
or rule anymore in Judah.”
