Jeremiah 32:5-7

The Voice

⁵ Nebuchadnezzar will order Zedekiah to be taken to Babylon, where he will stay until I am ready to visit him. This is what I, the Eternal One promise: if you try to fight the Chaldeans, you will fail.”

Jeremiah (to Zedekiah): ⁶ The message of the Eternal came to me through my cousin: ⁷ “Look! Hanamel (son of Shallum, your uncle), is going to come to you and say, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth; as my nearest relative, it is your right to buy it before I offer it to anyone else.^[a] It is also your duty to keep it in the family.’”
