23 You who live in Lebanon,
        nestled in cedar,
    who will pity you[a]
        when you are overcome in pain,
        like that of childbirth?

24 As surely as I live, declares the Lord, even if Coniah,[b] King Jehoiakim’s son from Judah were a signet ring on my right hand, I would still remove you from there. 25 I would hand you over to those who seek to kill you, those you dread, even Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar and his army.[c]
