Contextual Overview
1 This is the word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the nations of the earth that were under his rule, and all the people, were fighting against Jerusalem and all its cities: 2 "The Lord God of Israel says, ‘Go and say to Zedekiah king of Judah, "This is what the Lord says: ‘See, I am giving this city to the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire. 3 And you will not get away from him. You will be taken and given into his hand. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye, and he will speak with you face to face. And you will go to Babylon.'"' 4 Yet hear the Word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah! The Lord says this about you: ‘You will not die by the sword. 5 You will die in peace. And as spices were burned for your fathers, the kings who were before you, so they will burn spices for you and cry in sorrow for you, "It is bad, lord!"' I Myself have said this," says the Lord. 6 Then Jeremiah the man of God told all this to King Zedekiah of Judah in Jerusalem, 7 when the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and all the cities that were left of Judah. These cities were Lachish and Azekah. They were the only strong cities left in Judah that were ready for war.
