Jeremiah:22:23-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O inhabitant of Lebanon ,
that makest thy nest in the cedars ,
how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee ,
the pain as of a woman in travail !
*
As I live ,
saith the LORD ,
though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand ,
yet would I pluck thee thence ;
*
And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life ,
and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest ,
even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ,
and into the hand of the Chaldeans .
*
And I will cast thee out ,
and thy mother that bare thee ,
into another country ,
where ye were not born ;
and there shall ye die .
*
But to the land whereunto they desire (
8676 )
to return ,
thither shall they not return .
*
Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol ?
is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure ?
wherefore are they cast out ,
he and his seed ,
and are cast into a land which they know not ?
