Jer 22:28 — [Is] this man Coniah a despised broken idol? [is he] a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

Is		This appears to be the application of the whole discourse to Zedekiah; for it is to be observed, that Jeconiah is spoken of as absent, and already in captivity. Now if he and his seed had been for their sins thrown aside as a broken idol, or as a vessel which a man despises, how could Zedekiah, who copied and far exceeded them, expect to prosper on the throne of David?
Coniah		See on Jer 22:24.
a despised		Jer 48:38; 1Sa 5:3-5; 2Sa 5:21; Psa 31:12; Hsa 8:8; Hsa 13:15; Rom 9:21-23; 2Ti 2:20,21
