The Lord Makes an Ominous Promise to Zedekiah
34:1 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah while King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon was attacking Jerusalem and the towns around it with a large army. This army consisted of troops from his own army and from the kingdoms and peoples of the lands under his dominion .
34:2 The Lord God of Israel told Jeremiah to go and give King Zedekiah of Judah a message . He told Jeremiah to tell him, “The Lord says , ‘I am going to hand this city over to the king of Babylon and he will burn it down .
34:3 You yourself will not escape his clutches , but will certainly be captured and handed over to him. You must confront the king of Babylon face to face and answer to him personally. Then you must go to Babylon .
34:4 However , listen to what I, the Lord , promise you, King Zedekiah of Judah . I, the Lord , promise that you will not die in battle or be executed.
34:5 You will die a peaceful death. They will burn incense at your burial just as they did at the burial of your ancestors , the former kings who preceded you. They will mourn for you, saying, “Poor, poor master !” Indeed , you have my own word on this. I , the Lord , affirm it!’”
34:6 The prophet Jeremiah told all this to King Zedekiah of Judah in Jerusalem .
