Chapter overview (whole chapter)
Jeremiah 39 opens with Nebuchadnezzar's army breaching Jerusalem, Zedekiah fleeing but being captured, his sons slain before him, and his eyes put out before he is carried in chains to Babylon. Nebuzaradan then burns the temple and city, breaks the walls, and exiles the people, leaving only the poor behind. The chapter closes with Jeremiah released to Gedaliah's care and the Lord's promise to spare Ebedmelech the Ethiopian for trusting Him.
