22. Your leaders will be blown away by the wind,your allies taken as prisoners of war,your city disgraced and put to shamebecause of all the evil you have done.
23. You rest secure among the cedars brought from Lebanon;but how pitiful you'll be when pains strike you,pains like those of a woman in labour.
24. The Lord said to King Jehoiachin, son of King Jehoiakim of Judah, “As surely as I am the living God, even if you were the signet ring on my right-hand, I would pull you off
25. and give you to people you are afraid of, people who want to kill you. I will give you to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia and his soldiers.
