22:24 The Lord says, 2
“As surely as I am the living God, you, Jeconiah, 3 king of Judah, son of Jehoiakim, will not be the earthly representative of my authority. Indeed, I will take that right away from you. 4 22:25 I will hand you over to those who want to take your life and of whom you are afraid. I will hand you over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and his Babylonian 5 soldiers. 22:26 I will force you and your mother who gave you birth into exile. You will be exiled to 6 a country where neither of you were born, and you will both die there. 22:27 You will never come back to this land to which you will long to return!” 7
