“Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:”
God's message to Zedekiah: 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.' The direct address and blunt statement underscore the certainty of defeat. Prophecy is not concerned with consoling false hopes.
