The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzarking 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,
2
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel;Go and speak to Zedekiahking 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.
5
But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the formerkings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ahlord! for I have pronounced the word,saith the LORD.
