After that, declares the LORD
This phrase sets the stage for a divine pronouncement, emphasizing the authority and certainty of God's word. The Hebrew root for "declares" (נְאֻם, ne'um) is often used in prophetic literature to signify a solemn and authoritative statement from God. It underscores the seriousness of the message and the inevitability of its fulfillment. In the context of Jeremiah, it serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of His prophetic word.

I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah
Zedekiah was the last king of Judah, and his reign was marked by political instability and spiritual decline. The Hebrew word for "deliver" (נָתַן, natan) can also mean "to give" or "to hand over," indicating a transfer of power and control. This phrase highlights the consequences of Zedekiah's disobedience and the fulfillment of God's judgment. Historically, Zedekiah's reign ended with the Babylonian conquest, fulfilling Jeremiah's prophecy.

his officials, and the people in this city who survive the plague, the sword, and the famine
This phrase paints a grim picture of the calamities that have befallen Jerusalem. The mention of "plague, the sword, and the famine" reflects the triad of judgments often seen in the Old Testament as instruments of divine wrath. The Hebrew context suggests a comprehensive devastation, leaving only a remnant. This serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the reality of divine justice.

into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
Nebuchadnezzar was the powerful ruler of Babylon, and his name is synonymous with the Babylonian exile. The phrase "into the hand" (בְּיַד, b'yad) signifies control and domination. Historically, Nebuchadnezzar's conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC was a pivotal event, leading to the destruction of the temple and the exile of the Jewish people. This phrase underscores the fulfillment of God's judgment through historical events.

into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives
This phrase emphasizes the dire situation facing the people of Judah. The repetition of "hands" (יָד, yad) highlights the complete control and power their enemies have over them. The phrase "who seek their lives" indicates a relentless pursuit and intent to destroy. This serves as a stark warning of the consequences of forsaking God's protection and the reality of living under the threat of hostile forces.

He will put them to the sword
The imagery of the sword is a common biblical metaphor for judgment and destruction. The Hebrew word for "sword" (חֶרֶב, cherev) often symbolizes divine retribution. This phrase conveys the severity of the judgment that awaits those who have turned away from God. It serves as a reminder of the seriousness of sin and the ultimate justice of God.

he will not spare them or show pity or compassion
This final phrase underscores the totality of the judgment. The Hebrew words for "spare" (חָמַל, chamal), "pity" (חָס, chas), and "compassion" (רַחֵם, rachem) all convey a sense of mercy and leniency, which are notably absent in this context. This serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of persistent disobedience and the reality of divine justice. It highlights the importance of repentance and turning back to God to avoid such severe judgment.

(7) He shall smite them with the edge of the sword.--The words were bold words for the prophet to utter while the king was still on the throne, and urged on by his princes to defy the power of the Chaldaean king. In Jeremiah 52:10; Jeremiah 52:24-27 we find their literal fulfilment.

Verse 7. - And such as are; rather, left which are left. (There has been an obvious error in the repetition of "and.")
