Jeremiah 34:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 34:19

17 “Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother and every one to his neighbor. ^aBehold, I proclaim liberty to you,’ says the Lord—^b‘to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine! And I will deliver you to ^ctrouble among all the kingdoms of the earth.

18 And 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 ^athey cut the calf in two and passed between the parts of it—

19 the princes of Judah, the princes of Jerusalem, the¹ eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the parts of the calf—

20 I will ^agive them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. Their ^bdead bodies shall be for meat for the birds of the heaven and the beasts of the earth.

21 And I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes into the hand of their enemies, into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army ^awhich has gone back from you.

22 ^aBehold, I will command,’ says the Lord, ‘and cause them to return to this city. They will fight against it ^band take it and burn it with fire; and ^cI will make the cities of Judah a desolation without inhabitant.’ ”
