Ezekiel 12:13

But I will throw my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans ¹  (but he will not see it), ²  and there he will die. ³ 

2Ki 25:5-7; Job 19:6; Ps 11:6; Isa 24:17,18; Jer 34:3; Jer 39:7; Jer 50:24; Jer 52:8-11; La 1:13; La 3:47; La 4:19,20; Eze 17:16,20; Eze 19:8,9; Eze 32:3; Ho 7:12; Lu 21:35

¹ tn Or “Babylonians” (NCV, NLT).

sn The Chaldeans were a group of people in the country south of Babylon from which Nebuchadnezzar came. The Chaldean dynasty his father established became the name by which the Babylonians are regularly referred to in the book of Jeremiah, while Jeremiah’s contemporary, Ezekiel, uses both terms.

² sn He will not see it. This prediction was fulfilled in 2 Kgs 25:7 and Jer 52:11, which recount how Zedekiah was blinded before being deported to Babylon.

³ sn There he will die. This was fulfilled when King Zedekiah died in exile (Jer 52:11).
