NET Bible
"You will never come back to this land to which you will long to return!”"
— Jeremiah 22:27, NET Bible
“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.”
“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.”
“But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.”
Jeconiah Will Be Permanently Exiled The LORD says,“As surely as I am the living God, you, Jeconiah, king of Judah, son of Jehoiakim, will not be the earthly representative of my authority. Indeed, I will take that right away from you.
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 soldiers.
I will force you and your mother who gave you birth into exile. You will be exiled to a country where neither of you were born, and you will both die there.
You will never come back to this land to which you will long to return!”
This man, Jeconiah, will be like a broken pot someone threw away. He will be like a clay vessel that no one wants. Why will he and his children be forced into exile? Why will they be thrown out into a country they know nothing about?
O land of Judah, land of Judah, land of Judah! Listen to the LORD’s message!
The LORD says,“Enroll this man in the register as though he were childless. Enroll him as a man who will not enjoy success during his lifetime. For none of his sons will succeed in occupying the throne of David or ever succeed in ruling over Judah.”
