Context of Jeremiah 22:26
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! 25You are afraid of your enemies who want to kill you, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his army. Now I will let them catch you. I 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.’ 28This 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?
