Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.

The verse 30 is found in chapter 22 of Jeremiah. Coniah is presented as a signet ring torn from God’s hand, an image of the loss of dynastic authority. Although he is a descendant of David, his immediate line will suffer a rupture. The passage demonstrates that the Davidic promises do not mean immunity for every individual king from judgment because of his conduct.

So spricht der HERR: Schreibet an diesen Mann als einen, der ohne Kinder ist, einen Mann, dem es sein Lebtage nicht gelingt. Denn er wird das Glück nicht haben, daß jemand seines Samens auf dem Stuhl Davids sitze und fürder in Juda herrsche.
Así ha dicho Jehová: Escribid que será este hombre privado de generación, hombre a quien nada sucederá prósperamente en todos los días de su vida: porque ningún hombre de su simiente que se sentare sobre el trono de David, y que se enseñoreare sobre Judá, será jamás dichoso.
Así dice Jehová: «Inscriban a este hombre como sin hijos, un hombre que no prosperará en sus días, porque ninguno de sus descendientes logrará sentarse en el trono de David ni gobernar de nuevo en Judá».
Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Inscrivez cet homme comme privé d'enfants, Comme un homme dont les jours ne seront pas prospères; Car nul de ses descendants ne réussira A s'asseoir sur le trône de David Et à régner sur Juda.
Così ha detto il Signore: Scrivete pure che quest’uomo sarà privo di figliuoli, e sarà uomo che non prospererà a’ suoi dì; e che niuno della sua progenie prospererà, sedendo sopra il trono di Davide, e signoreggiando per l’innanzi sopra Giuda
Assim diz o SENHOR: Escrevei que este homem está privado de filhos, homem que não prosperará nos seus dias; porque nenhum da sua geração prosperará, para se assentar no trono de Davi, e reinar ainda em Judá.
耶和華如此說: 「要把這人登記為無子, 是平生不得亨通的人; 因為他後裔中再無一人得亨通, 能坐在 大衛 的寶座上治理 猶大 。」
