Context of Jeremiah 22:25

23You live safely in beautiful houses that are made from Lebanon's cedar wood. But when I punish you, you will cry out with pain. You will feel pain like a woman who is having a baby.’ 24This is what the Lord says: ‘Jeconiah, king of Judah, son of Jehoiakim, I promise you this, as surely as I live. I will remove your power as king. If you were the special ring of authority on my right hand, I would pull you off! You are afraid of your enemies who want to kill you, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his army. Now I will let them catch you. 26I will throw you and your mother out of Judah. I will send you both to a foreign land. You were not born in that land, but you will both die there. 27You will want to return to this land of Judah, but you will never come back here.’
