The siege is _still observed in the Fast of Tebet, a day of remembering by the Jemis. The next observance will be January 10, 1930. Portions of Lamentations are read aloud at the time, for Jeremiah therein makes Very graphic the awful miseries that prevailed within the Holy City. Both bread and water finally failed.

A person can make irrevocable mistakes by going headlong heedless. For years the prophets had sought to hold Jewry back from their sins against Jehovah. There had been HOSea, Amos, Joel, Jonah, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, 1saiah,Uhremiah Habakkuk and Zephaniah.

Instead Zedekiah sought help from Egypt, in spite of Jeremiah's pleading tn the contrary. As the enemy came in, the king instead of staying' to help his people sought safety with some of his strong men in flight by a southern gate. They were captured in the Jordan valley and taken before Neb11ehadnt.zzag ht Riblah, where he was directing the attack against another nation: _ - Jeremiah was evidently in favor with Nebuchadnezzar, who gave him his choice of going to Babylon or staying in Jerusalem with "the poor of the land," who were left there to produce a revenue.

Compare Jeremiah 32:4-5 and Ezekiel 12:13. ”How could he be taken to 'Babylon and not see the city or the ‘king 'there? Zedekiah was forced to witness the slaughter of his sons at Ribltsh; and then was blinded at the king's order.
