Jeremiah 34:2-7

2The LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, toldH559 Jeremiah to goH1980 and speakH559 toH413 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and tellH559 himH413 that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2005, I am about to deliverH5414 thisH2063 cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he will burn it downH8313H784. 3And you yourselfH859 will notH3808 escapeH4422 his graspH3027, butH3588 will surely be capturedH8610 and deliveredH5414 into his handH3027. You will seeH7200 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869 and speak with himH1696 faceH6310 toH854 faceH6310; and you will goH935 to BabylonH894.

4YetH389 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063. This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559 concerning youH5921: You will notH3808 dieH4191 by the swordH2719; 5you will dieH4191 in peaceH7965. As spices were burnedH4955 for your fathersH1, the formerH7223 kingsH4428 whoH834 precededH1961 youH6440, soH3651 people will burnH8313 spices for you and lamentH5594, ‘AlasH1945, O masterH113!’ ForH3588 I MyselfH589 have spokenH1696 this wordH1697, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.”

6In Jerusalem, thenH3389, JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 relayedH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 toH413 ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 7as the armyH2428 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 was fightingH3898 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389H5921 and the remainingH3605H3498 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063—againstH413 LachishH3923H413 and AzekahH5825. ForH3588 these were the onlyH2007 fortifiedH4013 citiesH5892 remainingH7604 in JudahH3063.
