So Jehoiachin changed his prison clothes, and had his meals in the king’s presence regularly all the days of his life.

And I will also bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ says the Lord, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”

That her hope was lost,
She took another of her cubs
