28 
“Is this man [King] Coniah a despised, broken jar?
Is he a vessel in which no one takes pleasure?
Why are he and his [royal] descendants hurled out
And cast into a land which they do not know or understand?
29 
“O land, land, land,
Hear the word of the Lord!

30 Thus says the Lord,

‘Write this man [Coniah] down as childless,
A man who will not prosper (succeed) in his lifetime;
For not one of his descendants will succeed
In sitting on the throne of David
Or ruling again in Judah.’”

28 Is this man Jehoiachin(A) a despised, broken pot,(B)
    an object no one wants?
Why will he and his children be hurled(C) out,
    cast into a land(D) they do not know?
29 O land,(E) land, land,
    hear the word of the Lord!
30 This is what the Lord says:
“Record this man as if childless,(F)
    a man who will not prosper(G) in his lifetime,
for none of his offspring(H) will prosper,
    none will sit on the throne(I) of David
    or rule anymore in Judah.”
