Exegesis
The verse opens with the metaphorical noun etseb {עֶ֨צֶב | ʿe-ṣev} ‘earthenware vessel’ paired with parallel participles nivzeh {נִבְזֶ֜ה | niv-zeh} ‘despised’ and nafutz {נָפ֗וּץ | na-futz} ‘broken’, establishing contempt toward Coniah.
In context — Jeremiah 22:28
Is this man Coniah a despised, broken pot, or a vessel in which there is no delight? Why have they—he and his offspring —been cast out and thrown upon a land which they did not know?
