Jeremiah 22:23-28

NSB(i) 23 »You who dwell in Lebanon nested in the cedars. How you will groan when pangs come upon you, Pain like a woman in childbirth!« 24 »‘As I live,’ says Jehovah, ‘even though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were a signet ring on my right hand, yet I would pull you off. 25 »As I live,« says Jehovah, »I will hand you over to those who want to kill you, those you fear, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and the Babylonians. 26 »I will throw you and your mother into another land. You were not born there, but you will die there. 27 »You will want to return to this land, but you will not be allowed to come home. 28 »This Jehoiakin is like a rejected and broken pot that no one wants. Is that why he and his descendants will be thrown out and cast into another land they have never heard of?
