Jeremiah 22:26 in context

Jeremiah 22:23–29

23

Inhabitant of Lebanon,

who makes your nest in the cedars,

how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you,

the pain as of a woman in travail!

24

“As I live,” says the LORD, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.

25

I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26
Selected verse

I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.

27

But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return.”

28

Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel?

Is he a vessel in which no one delights?

Why are they cast out, he and his offspring,

and cast into a land which they don’t know?

29

O earth, earth, earth,

hear the LORD’s word!
