7 then is the city broken up, and all the men of war flee, and go forth from the city by night, the way of the gate between the two walls, that 'is' by the king's garden—and the Chaldeans 'are' by the city round about—and they go the way of the plain.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 52:7
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.
