Jeremiah 34:5-7
International Standard Version
5 You will die peacefully, and as they burned fires[a] for your ancestors,[b] the former kings who were before you, so they’ll burn fires[c] for you, wailing, “Oh how terrible, your majesty!”’ For I’ve spoken the message,” declares the Lord.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all of this in Jerusalem to king Zedekiah of Judah, 7 while the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah that were left, namely Lachish and Azekah. (They were the only fortified cities that remained among the cities of Judah.)
