Jeremiah 34:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ But, Zedekiah king of Judah, listen to the promise of the Lord. This is what the Lord says about you: You will not be killed with a sword. ⁵ You will die in a peaceful way. As people ·made funeral fires [or burn spices; ^Lburn] to honor your ·ancestors [fathers], the kings who ruled before you, so people will ·make a funeral fire [or burn spices; ^Lburn] to honor you. They will ·cry for you and sadly [mourn for you and] say, “Ah, master!” I myself make this promise to you, says the Lord [52:8–11].’”

⁶ So Jeremiah the prophet gave this message to Zedekiah in Jerusalem.
