"and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon." — Jeremiah 34:3 (ASV)
And thou shalt not escape out of his hand
Though he would, and did attempt to do it, (Jeremiah 52:8Jeremiah 52:9) ; but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand ;
he was taken on the plains of Jericho, and delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon at Riblah; as may be seen in the place just referred to: and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon ;
and that was all; for they were quickly put out by him: and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to
Babylon ;
see (Jeremiah 32:3) (Jeremiah 52:9Jeremiah 52:11) .
