Introduction
This section of prophecy, extending to the end of the eighth verse of the next chapter, is addressed to the king of Judah and his people. It enjoins on them the practice of justice and equity, as they would hope to prosper, Jeremiah 22:14 ; but threatens them, in case of disobedience, with utter destruction, Jeremiah 22:5-9 . The captivity of Shallum, the son of Josiah, is declared to be irreversible, Jeremiah 22:10-12 ; and the miserable and unlamented end of Jeconiah, contemptuously called Coniah, is foretold, Jeremiah 22:13-19 . His family is threatened with the like captivity, and his seed declared to be for ever excluded from the throne, Jeremiah 22:20-30 .
