4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah! Thus says the Lord concerning you: ‘You shall not die by the sword. 5 You shall die in peace. And as spices were ^xburned for your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so people shall burn spices for you and lament for you, saying, ^y“Alas, lord!”’ For I have spoken the word, declares the Lord.”
