Context of Jeremiah 22:29
27But as for the land where they long to return, they will never return there.” 28Is this man Coniah a despised, shattered pot— a jar with no delight in it? Why are he and his seed cast out into the land they do not know? O land, land, land, hear the word of Adonai! 30Thus says Adonai: “Write this man childless, a man who will not prosper in his days. For no man of his seed will prosper, sitting on the throne of David and ruling again in Judah.”
