[22:24] The Lord said to King Jehoiachin, son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, “As surely as I am the living God, even if you were the signet ring on my right hand, I would pull you off
[22:25] and give you to people you are afraid of, people who want to kill you. I will give you to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia and his soldiers.
[22:26] I am going to force you and your mother into exile. You will go to a country where neither of you was born, and both of you will die there.
[22:27] You will long to see this country again, but you will never return.”
[22:28] I said, “Has King Jehoiachin become like a broken jar that is thrown away and that no one wants? Is that why he and his children have been taken into exile to a land they know nothing about?”
[22:29] O land, land, land! Listen to what the Lord has said:
[22:30] “This man is condemned to lose his children, to be a man who will never succeed. He will have no descendants who will rule in Judah as David's successors. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
