Jeremiah 22:28-30
EasyEnglish Bible
28 This man Jeconiah will be like a broken pot.
It is a clay pot that nobody wants any more.
He and his children will go as prisoners to a foreign country.
They will live in a country that they do not know.
Why will that happen to them?
29 Listen, people of this land! Listen, people of Judah!
Listen to the Lord's message!
30 The Lord says,
‘Write this man's name on the list.
Write it as the name of a man who has no children.[a]
He will not have success in his life.
None of his sons will rule as a descendant of King David.
None of them will be king of Judah.’
Footnotes
- 22:30 Jeconiah did have children but they would never become king after him. So they would not go on the list of future kings.
