John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 22:28

"Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein none delighteth? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into the land which they know not?" — Jeremiah 22:28 (ASV)

[Is] this man Coniah a despised broken idol ? &c.] Or like an idol that is nothing in the world, and like a broken one, that, whatever worship before was paid to it, has now none at all, but is despised by its votaries? he is such an one; though he was idolized by his people when he first came to the throne; but now his power and government being broken, and he carried captive, was despised by all; as his being called Coniah, and "this man" or fellow, show; which are used of him in a way of reproach and contempt.

[is he] a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure ? he is. He is like a vessel made for dishonour, or is used for the most contemptible service; or like one that is cracked, or broken, or defiled, that no use can be made of it, or any delight taken in it; it is not fit to set up, to be looked at, or to be made use of.

wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed ; which were in his loins, and were begotten by him in captivity; see (1 Chronicles 3:17 1 Chronicles 3:18) ; and so said to be cast out with him, when he was cast out of the land of Judea; just as Levi paid tithes in Abraham before he was born, (Hebrews 7:9Hebrews 7:10) ;

and are cast into a land which they know not ? where they had no friends and acquaintance; doubtless it was for his sins and transgressions, and those of his people.
