As sure as I am God, and live, I will punish this perjury: and here is a particular account of the punishment. In the place; Babylon. The king; Nebuchadnezzar. Made him king; Zedekiah. Whose oath; the oath Nebuchadnezzar imposed. He despised; contemptuously, without any just cause given; and therefore this perfidious prince could never expect more favour, but must in reason fear the greatest severities. Under this fear Zedekiah shall spend the rest of his days. He shall rather be always dying, for though he lived a natural life, yet it was in such sadness, it is more properly styled a dying; in blindness, under the memorial of the most afflictlye sight, the murder of his children, which was the last thing his eye ever beheld.
