Jeremiah 39:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ But the Babylonian troops caught up with them near Jericho. They arrested Zedekiah and took him to the town of Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar put him on trial, then found him guilty, ⁶ and gave orders for him to be punished. Zedekiah's sons were killed there in front of him, and so were the leaders of Judah's ruling families. ⁷ Then his eyes were poked out, and he was put in chains, so he could be dragged off to Babylonia.
