Jeremiah 39:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Then his eyes were poked out, and he was put in chains, so he could be dragged off to Babylonia.

⁸ Meanwhile, the Babylonian army had burned the houses in Jerusalem, including^[a] the royal palace, and they had broken down the city walls. ⁹ Nebuzaradan, the Babylonian officer in charge of the guards, led away everyone from the city as prisoners, even those who had deserted to Nebuchadnezzar.
