Jeremiah 52:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ The blockade of the city lasted until Zedekiah’s eleventh year as king. ⁶ On the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city became so severe that the common people had no food.

⁷ The enemy broke through the city walls, and all Judah’s soldiers fled. They left the city at night through the gate between the two walls beside the king’s garden. While the Babylonians were attacking the city from all sides, they took the road to the plain ⌞of Jericho⌟.
