Jeremiah 34:3-5

3 1You will not escape from his hand, for you will surely be captured and delivered into his hand; and you will 2see the king of Babylon eye to eye, and he will speak with you 3face to face, and you will go to Babylon.’”’ 4Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah! Thus says the Lord concerning you, ‘You will not die by the sword. 5You will die in peace; and as spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will 4burn spices for you; and 5they will lament for you, “Alas, lord!”’ For I have spoken the word,” declares the Lord.
