Context — A Warning to Coniah
26I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another land, where neither of you were born—and there you both will die.
27You will never return to the land for which you long.” 28Is this man Coniah a despised and shattered pot, a jar that no one wants? Why are he and his descendants hurled out and cast into a land they do not know?Cross References

Its strong branches were stripped off and they withered; the fire consumed them. Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. Fire has gone out from its main branch and devoured its fruit; on it no strong branch remains fit for a ruler’s scepter.’ This is a lament and shall be used as a lament.” |
Jeremiah 22:26 Summary
[Jeremiah 22:26 is a verse where God is speaking to a king named Coniah, telling him that he and his mother will be forced to leave their home and die in a foreign land. This is because Coniah did not obey God's commands, and God is punishing him for his disobedience. As we read this verse, we can remember that God is in control of everything, and He has the power to do what He wants, as seen in Psalm 115:3. We should strive to obey God's commands, just like we are told to in Deuteronomy 13:4, so we can avoid His judgment and receive His blessings instead.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be 'hurl' into another land?
To be hurled into another land means to be forcibly and violently taken away from one's home and thrown into a foreign land, as seen in Jeremiah 22:26, similar to the way the LORD described the scattering of Israel in Deuteronomy 28:64.
Why is the mother mentioned alongside Coniah in this verse?
The mother is mentioned because, in ancient Near Eastern cultures, the mother's influence and status were often closely tied to the son's, as seen in 1 Samuel 2:19, and the LORD is emphasizing the thoroughness of the judgment that will come upon Coniah and his family.
Is this verse talking about a physical death or a spiritual death?
In Jeremiah 22:26, the LORD is speaking of a physical death, where both Coniah and his mother will die in a foreign land, as a result of God's judgment, which is a theme also seen in Ezekiel 18:4.
How does this verse relate to the concept of God's sovereignty?
This verse highlights God's sovereignty over all nations and individuals, as He declares His power to hurl Coniah and his mother into another land, demonstrating His absolute control over human affairs, as stated in Psalm 135:6.

- What are some ways I can prepare myself for the possibility of being 'hurl' into unfamiliar or challenging circumstances, and how can I trust in God's providence during those times?
- In what ways can I honor and respect the authority and power of God, as demonstrated in this verse, in my daily life and decisions?
