Zedekiah did not obey the Lord. He did all the bad things that Jehoiakim had done. The Lord was angry, so he caused these things to happen to Jerusalem and Judah. They became so bad that the Lord sent his people away. He did not want them to be near to him. The king of Babylon had told Zedekiah what he must do. But Zedekiah did not do it. Jeremiah 52:2-3
西底家行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，是照約雅敬一切所行的。 因此耶和華的怒氣在耶路撒冷和猶大發作，以致將人民從自己的面前趕出。 耶利米書 52:2-3
