Jeremiah 22:23-27 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

23. You rest secure among the cedars brought from Lebanon;but how pitiful you'll be when pains strike you,pains like those of a woman in labour.

24. The Lord said to King Jehoiachin, son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, “As surely as I am the living God, even if you were the signet ring on my right-hand, I would pull you off

25. and give you to people you are afraid of, people who want to kill you. I will give you to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia and his soldiers.

26. I am going to force you and your mother into exile. You will go to a country where neither of you was born, and both of you will die there.

27. You will long to see this country again, but you will never return.”
