- Zedekiah:
- "And he also¹ rebelledª° against kingª Nebuchadnezzar,ª who¹ had made him swearª° by God:ª but he stiffenedª°¹ his neck,ª and hardenedª°¹ his heartª from turningª°¹ unto¹ the LORDª Godª of Israel.ª" {2Ch 36:13} + "I spakeª° also to¹ Zedekiahª kingª of Judahª according to all¹ these¹ words,ª saying,ª° Bringª°¹ your necksª under the yokeª of the kingª of Babylon,ª and serveª° him and his people,ª and live.ª° ... For¹ I have not¹ sentª° them, saithª° the LORD,ª yet they¹ prophesyª° a lieª in my name;ª that¹ I might drive you out,ª°¹ and that ye might perish,ª° ye,¹ and the prophetsª that prophesyª° unto you." {Jer 27:12-15} + "Then saidª° Jeremiahª unto¹ Zedekiah,ª Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª the Godª of hosts,ª the Godª of Israel;ª If¹ thou wilt assuredly²° go forthª° unto¹ the kingª of Babylon'sª princes,ª then thy soulª shall live,ª° and this¹ cityª shall not¹ be burnedª° with fire;ª and thou¹ shalt live,ª° and thine house:ª ... But if¹ thou¹ refuseª to go forth,ª° this¹ [is] the wordª that¹ the LORDª hath shewedª° me:" {Jer 38:17-21} + "But he rebelledª° against him in sendingª° his ambassadorsª into Egypt,ª that they might giveª° him horsesª and muchª people.ª Shall he prosper?ª° shall he escapeª° that doethª° such¹ [things]? or shall he breakª° the covenant,ª and be delivered?ª° ... And I will spreadª° my netª upon¹ him, and he shall be takenª° in my snare,ª and I will bringª° him to Babylon,ª and will pleadª° with¹ him there¹ for his trespassª° that¹ he hath trespassed²¹ against me." {Ezk 17:15-20}
