Jeremiah:22:24-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 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 ?
*
O earth ,
earth ,
earth ,
hear the word of the LORD .
*
Thus saith the LORD ,
Write ye this man childless ,
a man that shall not prosper in his days :
for no man of his seed shall prosper ,
sitting upon the throne of David ,
and ruling any more in Judah .
