2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as Jehoiakim had done.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
2 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
2 As far as God was concerned, Zedekiah was just one more evil king, a carbon copy of Jehoiakim.
2 He also did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
2 But Zedekiah did what was evil in the Lord 's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 52:2
Commentary on Jeremiah 52:1-11
(Read Jeremiah 52:1-11)
This fruit of sin we should pray against above any thing; Cast me not away from thy presence, Psalm 51:11. None are cast out of God's presence but those who by sin have first thrown themselves out. Zedekiah's flight was in vain, for there is no escaping the judgments of God; they come upon the sinner, and overtake him, let him flee where he will.
