Jeremiah 39:7

Verse 7

Jeremiah 39:7. He put out Zedekiah's eyes— See chap. Jer 52:11 where it is added, that he put him in prison till the day of his death. Thus two prophesies were fulfilled, which seemed at first hearing to contradict each other: the first, that of our prophet, ch. Jer 32:4 that Zedekiah's eyes should behold the eyes of the king of Babylon; and the other, that of Ezekiel, that he should not see Babylon, though he should die there, chap. Jeremiah 12:13. The Jews to this day keep a solemn fast in memory of this misfortune of Zedekiah. See Calmet.
