Jeremiah 32:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ Zedekiah had ordered me to be held there because I told everyone that the Lord had said:

I am the Lord, and I am about to let the king of Babylonia conquer Jerusalem. ⁴ King Zedekiah will be captured and taken to King Nebuchadnezzar, who will speak with him face to face. ⁵ Then Zedekiah will be led away to Babylonia, where he will stay until I am finished with him. So, if you people of Judah fight against the Babylonians, you will lose. I, the Lord, have spoken.
