# Is this a despised and shattered vessel? Is this man Jehoiachin a pot that pleases no one?
|

Jehoiachin is spoken of as a pot that was completely worthless and not liked by anyone. The questions emphasize that he has no value or friends. AT: "Jehoiachin is as useless as a broken vessel and no one is happy with him." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# Why have they thrown him and his descendants out, and have poured them out into a land that they did not know?
|
|
|
|
This rhetorical question explains what will happen to the worthless Jehoiachin. AT: "Therefore the enemy will remove Jehoiachin and his family from the land and take them to a foreign land." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# have poured them out

Jehoiachin and his descendants are spoke of as if they had been poured out in another country like garbage from a vessel. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
