The
word which came unto
Jeremiah from the
LORD, when
Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon, and all his
army, and all the
kingdoms of the
earth of his
dominion*, and all the
people, fought against
Jerusalem, and against all the
cities thereof,
saying,

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

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.

Yet
hear the
word of the
LORD, O
Zedekiah king of
Judah; Thus
saith the
LORD of thee, Thou shalt not
die by the
sword:

But thou shalt
die in
peace: and with the
burnings of thy
fathers, the
former kings which were
before thee, so shall they
burn odours for thee; and they will
lament thee, saying,
Ah lord! for I have
pronounced the
word, saith the
LORD.

When the
king of
Babylon's army fought against
Jerusalem, and against all the
cities of
Judah that were
left, against
Lachish, and against

defenced cities remained of the
cities of
Judah.
