Contextual Overview
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. 2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was around Jerusalem. And Jeremiah the man of God was shut up in the open space of the prison, in the house of the king of Judah. 3 For King Zedekiah of Judah had shut him up, saying, "Why do you speak these things in the Lord's name? You have said, ‘This is what the Lord says: "I am giving this city to the king of Babylon, and he will take it. 4 King Zedekiah of Judah will not get away from the Babylonians. For sure he will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye. 5 He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him," says the Lord. "If you fight against the Babylonians, you will not win."'" 6 Jeremiah said, "The Word of the Lord came to me, saying, 7 ‘Hanamel, the son of your father's brother Shallum, will come to you and say, "Buy my field at Anathoth. For because of your place in the family you have the right to buy it."' 8 Then Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, came to me in the open space of the prison, as the Word of the Lord had said. And he said to me, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. For you have the right to own it. Because of your place in the family you have the right, so buy it for yourself.' Then I knew that this was the Word of the Lord. 9 So I bought the field at Anathoth from Hanamel, the son of my father's brother. And I weighed out seventeen pieces of silver for him. 10 I wrote my name and put my mark on the agreement, and called in people to watch. And I weighed the silver.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans,.... This is a continuation of the prophecy of Jeremiah, repeated by the king to him, and which concerns himself more especially; who, upon the taking of the city, would endeavour to make his escape, as he did; but should not be able, Jeremiah 52:8;
but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon; not only into the hands of his army, and of his generals, but into his own hand personally; since it follows:
and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes; converse together face to face, eye to eye; but no doubt with different tones and looks; the king of Babylon upbraiding the king of Judah with perjury and ingratitude, and looking upon him with indignation and contempt; the other speaking faintly, and looking down with grief, shame, and confusion; moreover, the eyes of the king of Babylon beheld the eyes of Zedekiah, and ordered them to be put out, as they were, 2 Kings 25:7.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 32:4. And shall speak with him mouth to mouth — He shall be reduced to a state of the most abject servitude. The slave was obliged to fix his eyes on every motion of the master whilst giving his orders, who often condescended to give them only by dumb signs.
