Jeremiah 34:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 34:3

And thou shalt not escape out of his hand
Though he would, and did attempt to do it, ( Jeremiah 52:8 Jeremiah 52:9 ) ; but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand;
he was taken on the plains of Jericho, and delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon at Riblah; as may be seen in the place just referred to: and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon;
and that was all; for they were quickly put out by him: and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to
Babylon;
see ( Jeremiah 32:3 ) ( Jeremiah 52:9 Jeremiah 52:11 ) .

Jeremiah 34:3 In-Context

1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:

2 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

3 and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

4 Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus saith Jehovah concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword;

5 thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee, [saying], Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.
