34 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon,^(A) his whole army, all the kingdoms of the lands under his control,^(B) and all other peoples were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding cities: ² ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Go, speak to King Zedekiah of Judah, and tell him, “This is what the Lord says: I am about to hand this city over to the king of Babylon,^(C) and he will burn it. ³ As for you, you will not escape^(D) from him but are certain to be captured and handed over to him. You will meet the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak face to face;^[a](E) you will go to Babylon.
