24 “As I live,” declares Yahweh, “even though aConiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were a bsignet ring on My right hand, yet I would pull you off; 25 and I will agive you over into the hand of those who are seeking your life, indeed, into the hand of those whom you dread, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 I will ahurl you and your bmother who bore you into another land—there you were not born, but there you will die. 27 But as for the land to which their soul desires to return, they will not return to it.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered jar?
Or is he an aundesirable vessel?
Why have he and his seed been bhurled out
And cast into a cland that they had not known?
29 aO land, land, land,
Hear the word of Yahweh!
30 Thus says Yahweh,
‘Write this man down achildless,
A man who will bnot succeed in his days;
For no man of his cseed will succeed
Sitting on the throne of David
Or ruling again in Judah.’”
