Context
Jeremiah Buys a Field
32:1 In the tenth year that Zedekiah was ruling over Judah the Lord spoke to Jeremiah . That was the same as the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar .
32:2 Now at that time , the armies of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem . The prophet Jeremiah was confined in the courtyard of the guardhouse attached to the royal palace of Judah .
32:3 For King Zedekiah had confined Jeremiah there after he had reproved him for prophesying as he did. He had asked Jeremiah, “Why do you keep prophesying these things ? Why do you keep saying that the Lord says , ‘I will hand this city over to the king of Babylon ? I will let him capture it.
32:4 King Zedekiah of Judah will not escape from the Babylonians . He will certainly be handed over to the king of Babylon . He must answer personally to the king of Babylon and confront him face to face .
32:5 Zedekiah will be carried off to Babylon and will remain there until I have fully dealt with him. I, the Lord , affirm it! Even if you continue to fight against the Babylonians , you cannot win .’”
