Cross References

ReferenceText (BSB)
1 Ezekiel 12:13 But I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, and there he will die.
2 Jeremiah 34:3–5 And you yourself will not escape his grasp, but will surely be captured and delivered into his hand. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with him face to face; and you will go to Babylon. Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword; you will die in peace. As spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who preceded you, so people will burn spices for you and lament, ‘Alas, O master!’ For I Myself have spoken this word, declares the LORD.”

Jeremiah 52:11 Summary

This verse, Jeremiah 52:11, tells us about the punishment of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, who disobeyed God and refused to surrender to the Babylonians. As a result, the king of Babylon put out his eyes and took him captive to Babylon, where he remained until his death, fulfilling the prophecy in Ezekiel 12:13. This teaches us about the importance of obeying God's commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-14, and the consequences of rebelling against Him, highlighting the need for humility and surrender to God's will, as encouraged in 1 Peter 5:6-7 and James 4:10.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the king of Babylon put out Zedekiah's eyes?

The king of Babylon put out Zedekiah's eyes as a form of punishment and to humiliate him, as seen in Jeremiah 52:11, a fulfillment of the prophecy in Ezekiel 12:13, which states that Zedekiah would be taken to Babylon and not see it, though his eyes would see it.

What does it mean to be kept in custody until one's dying day?

Being kept in custody until one's dying day, as mentioned in Jeremiah 52:11, means to be imprisoned for the remainder of one's life, similar to the fate of Joseph in Genesis 40:3, where he was kept in prison until God intervened on his behalf, as recorded in Genesis 41:14.

Why was Zedekiah taken to Babylon?

Zedekiah was taken to Babylon as a captive, symbolizing the judgment of God on the nation of Judah for their disobedience, as prophesied in Jeremiah 20:4 and fulfilled in Jeremiah 52:11, highlighting the consequences of rebelling against God's will, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:15-68.

How does this verse relate to the overall story of Jeremiah?

This verse is a culmination of the prophecies and events recorded in the book of Jeremiah, highlighting God's judgment on Judah for their sin, as seen in Jeremiah 1:10, and the fulfillment of His words through the actions of the king of Babylon, demonstrating God's sovereignty and control over the nations, as stated in Daniel 4:17 and Jeremiah 27:5-7.

Reflection Questions

  1. What does this verse reveal about the character of God and His dealings with those who disobey Him?
  2. How can we apply the lesson of Zedekiah's fate to our own lives, in terms of obeying God's commands and warnings?
  3. In what ways can we see the mercy of God even in the midst of judgment, as seen in Jeremiah 52:11 and other passages such as Lamentations 3:22-23?
  4. What does this verse teach us about the importance of heeding God's warnings and prophecies, as given through His prophets, such as Jeremiah and Ezekiel?

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 52:11

Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah,.... After he had seen his children and princes executed, which must be very terrible to him; [See comments on Jeremiah 39:7]; and the king of Babylon bound him

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 52:11

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.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 52:11

This history is found , much in the same words. See the annotations on that chapter. Jeremiah also hath the substance of it, ; only neither of those places have the last words, from whence we learn that Zedekiah died in Babylon a prisoner.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 52:11

(11) And put him in prison till the day of his death.—This also is an additional detail not mentioned in 2 Kings 25, and its absence is probably due to the fact that that was the earlier narrative of the two. The word for “prison” is a peculiar one, and differs from that in Jeremiah 52:31. Literally it means “house of visitation,” and this may imply either stricter custody, or more severe punishment in addition to imprisonment. The LXX. renders it by “house of the mill,” as though Zedekiah, after he had been blinded, had been made to do slave work like that of Samson. Possibly this was merely an inference from Lamentations 5:13. Such treatment of captive kings was, however, quite in keeping with the character of Assyrian and Chaldæan rulers. Thus Assur-bani-pal boasts that he placed a king of Arabia in chains, and bound him with the dogs, and caused him to be kept in one of the great gates of Nineveh (Records of the Past, i. p. 93). So Darius, in the Behistun inscription, boasts of having taken a rebel king of Sagartia, cut off his nose and ears, and kept him chained at his door (Records of the Past, i. p. 119).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 52:11

Verse 11. He put out the eyes of Zedekiah] See Clarke on Jeremiah 39:7.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 52:11

11. he put out the eyes] See on Jeremiah 34:3, and Jeremiah 39:7. and put him in prison till the day of his death] an addition to the narrative in 2 Kgs. prison] lit. the house of visitations, i.e. of punishment. The LXX render mill, of which rendering there is also a trace in Jeremiah 39:7 in that Version; an indication perhaps of a tradition on the subject.

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 52:11

Put him in prison ... - Not found in 2 Kings, for in the contemporaneous history what befell Zedekiah at Riblah would alone be known.

Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 52:11

9-11. Then they took the king — Zedekiah, king of Judah. Put him in prison — Namely, in Babylon.
