SEV Biblia, Chapter 34:2
Así dijo el SEÑOR Dios de Israel: Ve, y habla a Sedequías rey de Judá, y dile: Así dijo el SEÑOR: He aquí que yo entrego esta ciudad en mano del rey de Babilonia, y la abrasaré con fuego;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 34:2
Verse 2. He shall burn it with fire] This was a newly-added circumstance. Among many ancient nations they burned the bodies of the more illustrious dead. Odours were used in the burning: they then gathered the ashes, and put them into an urn or pitcher, sometimes into a strong vessel, and buried them. Many of these have been digged up in different parts of England, where the Romans had stations.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Zedekiah's death at Babylon foretold. (Jer. 34:1-7) The Jews reprove for compelling their poor brethren to return to unlawful bondage. (Jer 34:8-22) Jer. 34:1-7 Zedekiah is told that the city shall be taken, and that he shall die a captive, but he shall die a natural death. It is better to live and die penitent in a prison, than to live and die impenitent in palace.
Jer. 34:8-22 A Jew should not be held in servitude above seven years This law they and their fathers had broken. And when there was some hope that the siege was raised, they forced the servants they ha released into their services again. Those who think to cheat God be dissembled repentance and partial reformation, put the greatest chea upon their own souls. This shows that liberty to sin, is really onl liberty to have the sorest judgments. It is just with God to disappoin expectations of mercy, when we disappoint the expectations of duty. An when reformation springs only from terror, it is seldom lasting. Solem vows thus entered into, profane the ordinances of God; and the mos forward to bind themselves by appeals to God, are commonly most read to break them. Let us look to our hearts, that our repentance may be real, and take care that the law of God regulates our conduct __________________________________________________________________
