Jeremiah 22:24-30 - A Message Concerning Coniah

24 As truly as I live, sayeth the LORD, Though Jechoniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet of my right hand, yet will I pluck him off: 25 And I will give thee into the power of them that seek to slay thee, and into the power of them that thou fearest: into the power of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and into the power of the Chaldeans. 26 Moreover, I will send thee, and thy mother that bare thee, into a strange land where ye were not born; and there shall ye die. 27 But as for the land that ye will desire to return unto, ye shall never come at it again.

28 This man Jechoniah shall be like an image robbed and torn in pieces, which pleaseth no man, for all his apparel. Wherefore both he and his seed shall be sent away, and cast out into a land, that they know not. 29 O thou earth, earth, earth: hear the word of the LORD!

30 Write this man among the outlaws, for no prosperity shall this man have all his life long. Neither shall any of his seed be so happy as to sit upon the seat of David, and to bear rule in Judah."
