The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying: Dan 2:37-38Jer 1:152Ki 25:1-9Dan 4:1Jer 27:5-7Jer 32:22Ch 36:12-17Dan 4:22 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, the LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire. Jer 21:10Jer 34:222Ch 36:11-12Jer 22:1-2Jer 32:3Jer 37:8-10Jer 21:4Jer 32:28-29 You won’t escape out of his hand, but will surely be taken and delivered into his hand. Your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you mouth to mouth. You will go to Babylon.”’ Jer 32:4Jer 21:72Ki 25:4-7Jer 34:21Jer 39:4-7Ezk 12:13Ezk 17:18-20Ezk 21:25
“Yet hear the LORD’s word, O Zedekiah king of Judah. The LORD says concerning you, ‘You won’t die by the sword. You will die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will make a burning for you. They will lament you, saying, “Ah Lord!” for I have spoken the word,’ says the LORD.” 2Ch 16:14Jer 22:182Ch 21:19-202Ch 34:282Ki 22:20Dan 2:46Ezk 17:16Lam 4:20
Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, 1Sa 15:16-241Sa 3:181Ki 21:191Ki 22:142Sa 12:7-12Act 20:27Ezk 2:7Mat 14:4 when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities. Jos 10:32Ch 11:5-102Ki 18:13-14Jer 4:5Jos 15:352Ch 27:42Ki 19:8Deu 28:52
The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them, Lev 25:102Ki 11:172Ki 23:2-3Jer 34:17Isa 61:1Lev 25:39-46Neh 5:1-132Ch 15:12-15 that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother. 1Co 6:81Sa 14:111Sa 4:61Sa 4:92Co 11:22Deu 15:12Exo 2:6Exo 3:18 All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed and let them go, Jer 26:10Jer 26:16Isa 29:13Jer 3:10-11Jer 36:12Jer 36:24-25Jer 38:4Mrk 6:20 but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids. 2Pe 2:20-22Ecc 8:11Mat 12:43-45Pro 26:111Sa 19:6-111Sa 24:191Sa 26:21Exo 10:17-20
Therefore the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying: Jdg 6:8Jos 24:17Deu 5:2-3Deu 5:27Exo 24:3Exo 24:7-8Jer 31:32Deu 13:10 At the end of seven years, every man of you shall release his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years. You shall let him go free from you. But your fathers didn’t listen to me, and didn’t incline their ear. Deu 15:121Ki 9:221Sa 8:7-82Ki 17:13-141Ki 21:252Ch 28:102Ch 36:16Amo 2:6 You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor. You had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name; Jer 34:82Ki 23:3Jer 7:10-11Neh 10:291Ki 21:27-292Ki 10:30-312Ki 12:22Ki 14:3 but you turned and profaned my name, and every man caused his servant and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return. You brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.’” Lev 19:12Exo 20:7Ezk 18:24Ezk 3:20Jer 34:111Sa 15:11Ezk 17:16-19Ezk 20:39
Therefore the LORD says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says the LORD, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth. Mat 7:2Deu 28:25Gal 6:7Jer 29:18Dan 6:24Deu 28:64Est 7:10Jas 2:13 I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts: Gen 15:10Deu 17:2Gen 15:17-18Hos 6:7Hos 8:1Jos 23:16Psa 50:1Jos 7:11 the princes of Judah, the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf. Jer 34:10Zep 3:3-42Ki 24:122Ki 24:15Dan 9:12Dan 9:6Ezk 22:27-31Jer 29:2 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth. Jer 7:33Jer 16:4Jer 19:71Ki 16:4Jer 11:21Rev 19:17-211Ki 14:111Sa 17:44
“I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their life and into the hands of the king of Babylon’s army, who has gone away from you. Jer 39:6Jer 52:24-272Ki 25:18-21Ezk 17:16Jer 37:5-11Jer 52:10Jer 32:4Jer 34:3-5 Behold, I will command,” says the LORD, “and cause them to return to this city. They will fight against it, take it, and burn it with fire. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.” Jer 9:11Jer 39:1-2Jer 39:8Jer 33:10Jer 44:22Jer 52:13Jer 52:72Ch 36:17
