24:051:061 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and
           shalt see, and shalt read all these words;

24:051:062 Then shalt thou say, O lord, thou hast spoken against this
           place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither
           man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.

24:051:063 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this
           book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the
           midst of Euphrates: 

24:051:064 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not
           rise from the evil that I will bring upon her:  and they shall
           be weary.  Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

24:052:001 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign,
           and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.  And his mother’s
           name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

24:052:002 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the lord,
           according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

24:052:003 For through the anger of the lord it came to pass in Jerusalem
           and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that
           Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

24:052:004 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the
           tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that
           Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army,
           against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts
           against it round about.

24:052:005 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king
           Zedekiah.

24:052:006 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the
           famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for
           the people of the land.

24:052:007 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and
           went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate
           between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now
           the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by
           the way of the plain.

24:052:008 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and
           overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army
           was scattered from him.

24:052:009 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of
           Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave
           judgment upon him.

24:052:010 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his
           eyes:  he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

24:052:011 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon
           bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him
           in prison till the day of his death.
