Judgement for Yehoyakin/Jehoiachin

Jer 22:24–30

24Yahweh declares by his life:

Even if you, Yehoyakin (Jehoiachin),[fn] son of Yehudah’s King Yehoyakim (Jehoiakim), were the signet ring on my right hand, I would tear you off[ref] 25because I’m handing you over to the ones who are wanting to kill you and to those that you’re afraid of—to Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar and his men. (Heb. The Kasdi = Chaldeans) 26I’ll hurl you and your mother who bore you, into another land—a country where you’re both foreigners and you’ll both die there. 27Although they’ll long to return to this land, they’ll never return here.

28Is this man Yehoyakin a despised, shattered pot—

≈ a jar that no one wants

Why will before hurled out along with his descendants,

and thrown into a country that they’re not familiar with?

29Land, land, land, Listen to Yahweh’s message.

30Yahweh says this:

Record this man as being childless

a man who won’t prosper in his lifetime.

None of his descendants will prosper

to sit on David’s throne

or to rule over Yehudah again.


22:24 Called ‘Shallum’ here in the Hebrew and in verse 28.
