Jeremiah 22:28

²⁶ I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another land, where neither of you were born—and there you both will die.

²⁷ You will never return to the land for which you long.”

Is this man Coniah a despised and shattered pot, a jar that no one wants? Why are he and his descendants hurled out and cast into a land they do not know?

²⁹ O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!

³⁰ This is what the LORD says: “Enroll this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime. None of his descendants will prosper to sit on the throne of David or to rule again in Judah.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
