Nebukadnesar, Babels konge, kjempet mot Jerusalem og alle byene rundt den. Babels konges hær kjempet sammen med alle kongerikene på jorden som var under denne kongens herredømme. Da kom dette ordet til Jeremia fra Herren, Israels Gud: «Gå og tal til Sidkia, kongen av Juda, og si at Herren sier at Han skal overgi denne byen til babylonerkongen. Han skal sette fyr på den og brenne den opp. Selv skal du ikke slippe unna fra ham. Du skal bli tatt og ført til Babels konge. Der skal han snakke med deg ansikt til ansikt. Du skal dra til Babel.»
What Does This Mean?
