King James Version with Apocrypha
"But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return."
— Jeremiah 22:27, King James Version with Apocrypha
“But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.”
“But to the land whereunto their soul longeth to return, thither shall they not return. ”
“But to the land whereunto their soul longs to return, there shall they not return.”
“You will never come back to this land to which you will long to return!””
“And they shall not return into the land, whereunto they lift up their mind to return thither.”
“But to the land on which their soul's desire is fixed, they will never come back.”
As I live, saith the Lord, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.
Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
