Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 32:5

"and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?" — Jeremiah 32:5 (ASV)

There shall he be until I visit him... — The word for “visit” is ambiguous, being used elsewhere for both “punishing” and “delivering.” Its use in Jeremiah 29:10 is in favour of the latter meaning here.

The prophet looks forward to a general deliverance, or at least mitigation of suffering, for the exiles in Babylon, and, though he does not in distinct terms predict that Zedekiah will share in it, seems to cherish the hope that he will not be altogether excluded.

Of his fate after he arrived in Babylon we know nothing, but the absence of his name when Jehoiachin was released from his imprisonment (Jeremiah 52:31) by Evil-merodach suggests the conclusion that he was then dead.
