24 zAs I live, saith the Lord, though aConiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were bthe signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence; 25 And cI will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them dwhose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26 eAnd fI will cast thee out, and gthy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die. 27 But to the land whereunto they †desire to return, hthither shall they not return. 28 Is this man aConiah a despised broken idol? is he ia vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they kcast out, he and his seed, and are ecast into la land which they know not? 29 mO earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. 30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man nchildless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, ositting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
