Jeremiah 22:12

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"But in the place whither they have led him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more." — Jeremiah 22:12 (ASV)

Shall see this land no more. —There is no record of the duration of the life of Shallum in his Egyptian exile, but the total absence of his name in the history that follows is presumptive evidence of the fulfillment of the prediction. There is no trace of his being alive when the prophet is dragged by his countrymen to Egypt (Jeremiah 43:6–7).
