Jeremiah 32:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

His eyes shall behold his eyes - i:e., only before reaching Babylon, which he was not to see. Jeremiah 39:6-7 harmonizes this prophecy (Jeremiah 32:4) with the seemingly opposite prophecy Ezekiel 12:13. "He shall not see it" (Babylon).
