22“The wind will sweep away all your shepherds,
         And your lovers will go into captivity;
         Then you will surely be ashamed and humiliated
         Because of all your wickedness.

23“You who dwell in Lebanon,
         Nested in the cedars,
         How you will groan when pangs come upon you,
         Pain like a woman in childbirth!

      24“As I live,” declares the LORD, “even though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were a signet ring on My right hand, yet I would pull you off; 25and I will give you over into the hand of those who are seeking your life, yes, into the hand of those whom you dread, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans. 26“I will hurl you and your mother who bore you into another country where you were not born, and there you will die. 27“But as for the land to which they desire to return, they will not return to it.

28“Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered jar?
         Or is he an undesirable vessel?
         Why have he and his descendants been hurled out
         And cast into a land that they had not known?

29“O land, land, land,
         Hear the word of the LORD!

30“Thus says the LORD,
         ‘Write this man down childless,
         A man who will not prosper in his days;
         For no man of his descendants will prosper
         Sitting on the throne of David
         Or ruling again in Judah.’”
