Thou in Lebánon that dwellest, 23
Nested on cedars,
How shalt thou groan[454] when come on thee pangs,
Anguish as hers that beareth.
As I live—'t is the Rede of the Lord— 24
Though Konyahu were
Upon My right hand the signet,
Thence would I tear him.[455]
25. And I shall give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life and into the hand of them thou dreadest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans; [26] and I will hurl thee out, and thy mother who bare thee, upon another land, where ye were not born, and there shall ye die. 27. And to the land, towards which they shall be lifting their soul,[456] they shall not return.
Is Konyahu then despised, 28
