Jeremías 39:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 39:7

Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes
By what means is not certain; however, hereby the prophecy of Jeremiah was fulfilled, that his eyes should see the king of Babylon, as they did, before they were put out, and that he should not die by the sword, ( Jeremiah 34:3 Jeremiah 34:4 ) ; and also the prophecy of Ezekiel, ( Ezekiel 12:13 ) ; that he should be brought to Babylon, and yet should not see it; for his eyes were put out before he was carried there: a full proof this of the prescience of God; of his foreknowledge of future and contingent events; of the truth and certainty of prophecy, and of the authority of divine revelation: and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon;
with two brass or iron chains, or fetters, for both his legs; and thus bound he was carried to Babylon, where he remained to the day of his death.

Jeremías 39:7 In-Context

5 Sin embargo, las tropas babilónicas
persiguieron al rey y lo capturaron en las llanuras de Jericó. Entonces lo llevaron ante el rey Nabucodonosor de Babilonia, que se encontraba en Ribla, en la tierra de Hamat. Allí el rey de Babilonia dictó sentencia contra Sedequías.

6 Hizo que Sedequías presenciara la masacre de sus hijos y de todos los nobles de Judá.

7 Luego le sacaron los ojos, lo ataron con cadenas de bronce y lo llevaron a Babilonia.

8 Mientras tanto, los babilonios quemaron Jerusalén, incluido el palacio, y derribaron las murallas de la ciudad.

9 Luego Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, envió a Babilonia a los que habían desertado para unirse a sus filas junto con el resto del pueblo que quedaba en la ciudad.
