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 God's Message to Jeremiah at the time King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon mounted an all-out attack on Jerusalem and all the towns around it with his armies and allies and everyone he could muster:

2 "I, God, the God of Israel, direct you to go and tell Zedekiah king of Judah: 'This is God's Message. Listen to me. I am going to hand this city over to the king of Babylon, and he is going to burn it to the ground.

3 And don't think you'll get away. You'll be captured and be his prisoner. You will have a personal confrontation with the king of Babylon and be taken off with him, captive, to Babylon.

4 "'But listen, O Zedekiah king of Judah, to the rest of the Message of God. You won't be killed.

5 You'll die a peaceful death. They will honor you with funeral rites as they honored your ancestors, the kings who preceded you. They will properly mourn your death, weeping, "Master, master!" This is a solemn promise. God's Decree.'"
