And thou shalt not escape out of his hand,.... Though he would, and did attempt to do it, Jeremiah 52:8;
but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; he was taken on the plains of Jericho, and delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon at Riblah; as may be seen in the place just referred to:
and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon; and that was all; for they were quickly put out by him:
and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon; see Jeremiah 32:3.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 34:3. Thou shalt not escape — This, however, he had attempted, but was taken in his flight. See Jeremiah 39:4; Jeremiah 52:7, &c.
