SCRIPTURE

"and I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them of whom thou art afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans." — Jeremiah 22:25 (ASV)

And I will give you into the hand of them that seek your
life
Cruel and bloodthirsty enemies, whom nothing would satisfy but his life; such were the persons following:

and into the hand [of them] whose face you fear :
being a terrible savage people, to be dreaded both for their number and their cruelty; a strange change this, to be removed out of the hand of God into the hand of such an enemy; even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ;
(See Gill on Jeremiah 21:2);

and into the hand of the Chaldeans :
who were the merciless and formidable people before mentioned: and this was fulfilled within three months after Jeconiah or Jehoiachin began to reign, and when he was but eighteen years of age, (2 Kings 24:8 2 Kings 24:10–12) .
