Jeremiah 34:2-7

2“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘1GoH1980 and speakH559 to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and sayH559 to him: “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘BeholdH2009, 2I am givingH5414 thisH2088 cityH5892 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and 3he will burnH8313 it with fireH784. 34You will not escapeH4422 from his handH3027, for you will surelyH8610 be capturedH8610 and deliveredH5414 into his handH3027; and you will 5seeH7200 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 eyeH5869 to eyeH5869, and he will speakH1696 with you 6faceH6310 to faceH6310, and you will goH935 to BabylonH894.’”’ 4YetH389 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, O ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063! ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 concerningH5921 you, ‘You will not dieH4191 by the swordH2719. 5You will dieH4191 in peaceH7965; and as spices were burnedH4955 for your fathersH1, the formerH7223 kingsH4428 whoH834 were beforeH6440 you, soH3651 they will 7burnH8313 spices for you; and 8they will lamentH5594 for you, “AlasH1945, lordH113!”’ For I have spokenH1696 the wordH1697,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

6Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 spokeH1696 9allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 in JerusalemH3389 7when the armyH2428 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 was fightingH3898 againstH5921 JerusalemH3389 and againstH5921 allH3605 the remainingH3498 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, that is, 10LachishH3923 and 11AzekahH5825, for they alone remainedH7604 as 12fortifiedH4013 citiesH5892 among the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
