This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_34:4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
Ver. 4. Yet hear the word of the Lord.] A word of comfort. The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works. {Psa_145:9} Out of his philanthropy he giveth this wicked prince a mitigation of his just punishment, and a further time to repent. {as Rev_2:21} And possibly this goodness of God might in time lead him to repentance. {as Rom_2:4}
Thou shalt not die by the sword.] And yet Josiah, his father, a far better man, did; so unsearchable are God’s judgments, and his ways past finding out.
