The
word which came unto

LORD, when
Nebuchadnezzar king of

army, and all the
kingdoms of the
earth of his
dominion *, and all the
people, fought against
Jerusalem, and against all the
cities thereof,

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:
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 the
LORD, O
Zedekiah king of
Judah; Thus
saith the
LORD of thee, Thou shalt not
die by the
sword:
5
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
Azekah: for these
defenced cities remained of the
cities of
Judah.
