Message: Zedekiah and the people are caught. Nebuchadnezzar first made Zedekiah watched as he slaughter his people, then gouged his eyes out. Some of the poor people were left and given land and vineyard.
Time: 9th year of Zedekiah, 10th month, King of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar and all his army came against Jerusalem and besieged it. This was about 586 B.C. But, it then mentions the 11th year of Zedekiah, 4th month, 9th day, a breach was made in the city.
What the Lord is Saying: In the midst of this, Nebuchadnezzar has mercy on Jeremiah, removing him from the court of the guard.
Promise: While in prison, the Lord tells Jeremiah to speak to Ebed-melech, the Ethiopian, letting him know that he will be safe, despite the Lord's harm against Jerusalem. Ebed will be saved because he put his trust in the Lord and not men.
