his seed--(See on Jer 22:29). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Idol - Rather, vessel. Is Coniah a mere piece of common earthenware in which the potter has no pleasure, and therefore breaks it? It is a lamentation over Jehoiachin's hard fate, and that of his seed. This and the two following verses may have been written after the king had been carried into captivity. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Is this - The prophet speaks this in the person of God, affirming that this prince, who was the idol of the people, was now become like a broken idol. A vessel - So cracked, or so tainted, that they can make no use of it. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? - These are probably the exclamations of the people, when they heard those solemn denunciations against their king and their country. |

12 I am forgotten [07911] as a dead man [04191] out of mind [03820]: I am like a broken [06] vessel [03627].
