Jeremiah 34:3-5
International Standard Version
3 You won’t escape from him. You will certainly be captured and given into his control.[a] You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye, he will speak to you face to face, and you will go to Babylon.’”’ 4 Yet, hear this message from the Lord, king Zedekiah of Judah. This is what the Lord says to you, ‘You won’t die by the sword. 5 You will die peacefully, and as they burned fires[b] for your ancestors,[c] the former kings who were before you, so they’ll burn fires[d] for you, wailing, “Oh how terrible, your majesty!”’ For I’ve spoken the message,” declares the Lord.
