24. As I live—oracle of the Lord—even if you, Coniah, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, were a signet ring on my right hand, I would snatch you off.
25. I will hand you over to those who seek your life, to those you dread: Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and the Chaldeans.
26. I will cast you out, you and the mother who bore you, into a land different from the land of your birth; and there you will die;
27. Neither shall return to the land for which they yearn.
28. Is this man Coniah a thing despised, to be broken,a vessel that no one wants?Why are he and his offspring cast out?why thrown into a land they do not know?
29. O land, land, land,hear the word of the Lord—
30. Thus says the Lord: Write this man down as childless,a man who will never prosper in his life!Nor shall any of his descendants prosper,to sit upon the throne of David,to rule again over Judah.
