Jeremiah 34:3-5

English Standard Version

^3 (A)You shall not escape from his hand but shall surely be captured and delivered into his hand. ^(B)You shall see the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with him face to face. And you shall go to Babylon.’ ⁴ Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah! ^(C)Thus says the Lord concerning you: ^(D)‘You shall not die by the sword. ⁵ You shall die in peace. ^(E)And as spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so people shall ^(F)burn spices for you ^(G)and lament for you, saying, “Alas, lord!”’ For I have spoken the word, declares the Lord.”
