Jeremiah 52:1-3

The Fall of Jerusalem

52:1 ¹Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem² for eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal³ daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah. 52:2 He did what displeased the Lord⁴ just as Jehoiakim had done.

52:3 What follows is a record of what happened to Jerusalem and Judah because of the Lord’s anger when he drove them out of his sight.⁵ Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

¹sn This final chapter does not mention Jeremiah, but its description of the downfall of Jerusalem and exile of the people validates the prophet’s ministry.
