2 Chronicles 36:11-13

11 ^aZedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 12 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God. He did not humble himself before ^bJeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the Lord. 13 ^cHe also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. ^dHe stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord, the God of Israel.

Proverbs 1:33

33 but ^ewhoever listens to me will dwell secure
and will be ^fat ease, without dread of disaster.”

Jeremiah 27:3

3 Send word ^{▼▼Hebrew Send them} to the king of ^hEdom, the king of ⁱMoab, the king of the sons of ^jAmmon, the king of ^kTyre, and the king of Sidon by the hand of the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.

Jeremiah 28:1

Hananiah the False Prophet

1 In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of ^lZedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, Hananiah the son of ^mAzzur, the prophet from ⁿGibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying,

Jeremiah 38:17

17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: ^oIf you will surrender to ^pthe officials of the king of Babylon, ^qthen your life shall be spared, and this city shall not be burned with fire, and you and your house shall live.

Ezekiel 17:11-21

11 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 12 “Say now to ^rthe rebellious house, ^sDo you not know what these things mean? Tell them, behold, ^tthe king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took her king and her princes and brought them to him to Babylon. 13 ^uAnd he took one of the royal offspring ^{▼▼Hebrew seed} ^wand made a covenant with him, ^xputting him under oath ( ^ythe chief men of the land he had taken away), 14 that the kingdom might be humble and not lift itself up, and keep his covenant that it might stand. 15 ^zBut he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors ^aato Egypt, that they might give him horses and a large army. ^abWill he thrive? Can one escape who does such things? Can he ^acbreak the covenant and yet escape?

16 ^ad“As I live, declares the Lord God, surely ^aein the place where the king dwells ^afwho made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant with him he broke, in Babylon he shall die. 17 ^agPharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in war, ^ahwhen mounds are cast up and siege walls built to cut off many lives. 18 He despised the oath in breaking the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand and did all these things; he shall not escape. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: As I live, surely it is my oath that he despised, and my covenant that he broke. I will return it upon his head. 20 ^aiI will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon ^ajand enter into judgment with him there ^akfor the treachery he has committed against me. 21 And all the pick ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Syriac, Targum; most Hebrew manuscripts all the fugitives} of his troops shall fall by the sword, ^amand the survivors shall be scattered to every wind, and you shall know that ^anI am the Lord; I have spoken.”
