Jeremiah 52:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month,^[a] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army. The army of Babylon set up their camp outside of Jerusalem. Then they built ramps all around the city walls so that they could get over the walls. ⁵ The city of Jerusalem was surrounded by the army of Babylon until the eleventh year that Zedekiah^[b] was king. ⁶ By the ninth day of the fourth month of that year, the hunger in the city was very bad. There was no food left for the people in the city to eat.
