The imagery of a "shattered pot" reflects his broken and rejected status, symbolizing the loss of his royal dignity and authority. In ancient Near Eastern culture, pottery was a common metaphor for human frailty and divine judgment. This phrase suggests that Coniah's reign and legacy are irreparably damaged, aligning with the prophetic tradition of using pottery to signify destruction (<a href="/jeremiah/19-10.htm">Jeremiah 19:10-11</a>).a jar that no one wants? The metaphor of an unwanted jar emphasizes Coniah's rejection by both God and his people. In the cultural context, a jar that is no longer useful is discarded, symbolizing the end of Coniah's rule and the severing of his lineage from the Davidic promise. This rejection is significant in the broader narrative of Israel's kingship, where the failure to adhere to God's covenant leads to divine disfavor. The imagery also foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment of the Davidic line in Jesus Christ, who is the desired and chosen vessel of God's salvation.Why are he and his descendants hurled out The phrase "hurled out" indicates a forceful removal, reflecting the severity of God's judgment. Coniah and his descendants were exiled to Babylon, fulfilling the prophetic warnings given by Jeremiah and other prophets. This exile serves as a pivotal moment in Israel's history, marking the transition from the Davidic monarchy to a period of foreign domination. Theologically, it underscores the consequences of covenant unfaithfulness and the need for repentance and restoration.and cast into a land they do not know? Being cast into an unfamiliar land highlights the dislocation and disorientation experienced by the exiles. Babylon, a foreign and pagan land, represents both physical and spiritual exile from the Promised Land. This displacement fulfills earlier prophecies about the consequences of Israel's disobedience (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-36.htm">Deuteronomy 28:36</a>). The exile also sets the stage for the eventual return and restoration, pointing to the hope of redemption and the coming of a new covenant through Jesus Christ, who reconciles humanity to God and restores the broken relationship.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jehoiachin.htm">Jehoiachin</a> Also known as Coniah or Jeconiah, he was a king of Judah who reigned for a brief period before being taken captive by the Babylonians.

The word is not the same as that elsewhere rendered "idol," though connected with it, and the imagery which underlies the words is not that of an idol which men have worshipped and flung away, but of the potter (as in <a href="/jeremiah/19-11.htm" title="And shall say to them, Thus said the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.">Jeremiah 19:11</a>) rejecting and breaking what his own hands have made. (Comp. <a href="/psalms/2-9.htm" title="You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.">Psalm 2:9</a>; <a href="/psalms/31-12.htm" title="I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.">Psalm 31:12</a>.) The question implies an affirmative answer. The prophet speaks as identifying himself with those who gazed with wonder and pity at the doom which fell on one so young, and yet not the less does he pronounce that doom to be inevitable.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 28. - Is this man Coniah, etc.? The prophet's human feelings are stirred; he cannot withhold his sympathy from the sad fate of his king. What! he exclaims; is it possible that this Coniah is treated as a piece of ill-wrought pottery ware (comp. <a href="/jeremiah/18-4.htm">Jeremiah 18:4</a>), and "hurled" into a strange land? He and his seed. These words have caused some difficulty, owing to the youth, of Jehoiachin. According to <a href="/2_kings/24-8.htm">2 Kings 24:8</a> he was only eighteen when he was carried captive, while <a href="/2_chronicles/36-9.htm">2 Chronicles 36:9</a> makes him still younger, only eight (Josiah's age on his accession). Hitzig thinks the latter number is to be preferred; his chief reasons are the prominence given to the queen-mother, and the fact that the length of Jehoiachin's reign is given with more precise accuracy in 2 Chronicles than in 2 Kings. It is true that the king's wives are mentioned in <a href="/2_kings/24-15.htm">2 Kings 24:15</a>. But that he had wives may, according to Hitzig, have been inferred by the late compiler of Kings from the passage before us; or the "wives" may have been those of Jehoiachin's predecessor (comp. <a href="/2_samuel/16-21.htm">2 Samuel 16:21</a>). Graf's conjecture is, perhaps, the safest view of the case, whether we accept the number eighteen or the number eight; it is that the "seed" spoken of as born to Jehoiachin in his captivity, and is reckoned to him by anticipation. It should be mentioned, however, that the Septuagint omits "he and his seed" altogether. <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Is this הַזֶּה֙ (haz·zeh) Article | Pronoun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2088.htm">Strong's 2088: </a> This, that man הָאִ֤ישׁ (hā·’îš) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_376.htm">Strong's 376: </a> A man as an individual, a male person Coniah כָּנְיָ֔הוּ (kā·nə·yā·hū) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3659.htm">Strong's 3659: </a> Coniah -- Coniah a despised נִבְזֶ֜ה (niḇ·zeh) Verb - Nifal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_959.htm">Strong's 959: </a> To disesteem [and] shattered נָפ֗וּץ (nā·p̄ūṣ) Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5310.htm">Strong's 5310: </a> To dash to pieces, scatter pot, הַעֶ֨צֶב (ha·‘e·ṣeḇ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6089.htm">Strong's 6089: </a> An earthen vessel, toil, a pang a jar כְּלִ֔י (kə·lî) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3627.htm">Strong's 3627: </a> Something prepared, any apparatus that no אֵ֥ין (’ên) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_369.htm">Strong's 369: </a> A non-entity, a negative particle one wants? חֵ֖פֶץ (ḥê·p̄eṣ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2656.htm">Strong's 2656: </a> Pleasure, desire, a valuable thing, a matter Why מַדּ֤וּעַ (mad·dū·a‘) Interrogative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4069.htm">Strong's 4069: </a> Why? for what reason? are he ה֣וּא (hū) Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are and his descendants וְזַרְע֔וֹ (wə·zar·‘ōw) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2233.htm">Strong's 2233: </a> Seed, fruit, plant, sowing-time, posterity hurled out הֽוּטֲלוּ֙ (hū·ṭă·lū) Verb - Hofal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2904.htm">Strong's 2904: </a> To pitch over, reel, to cast down, out and cast וְהֻ֨שְׁלְכ֔וּ (wə·huš·lə·ḵū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hofal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7993.htm">Strong's 7993: </a> To throw out, down, away into עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against a land הָאָ֖רֶץ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land they do not לֹא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no know? יָדָֽעוּ׃ (yā·ḏā·‘ū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> To know <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/jeremiah/22-28.htm">Jeremiah 22:28 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/jeremiah/22-28.htm">OT Prophets: Jeremiah 22:28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken (Jer.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/jeremiah/22-27.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Jeremiah 22:27"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 22:27" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/jeremiah/22-29.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Jeremiah 22:29"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 22:29" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
