Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) He shall burn it with fire.--Another detail of prediction fulfilled literally in Jeremiah 52:13. Such a destruction was, of course, common enough as an incident of the capture of besieged cities, but it was not universal. Often, indeed, the conquerors sought to preserve the city and to occupy its palaces. The actual answer to Zedekiah's messengers possibly ended with this verse.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewForכִּ֣י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionI have setשַׂ֣מְתִּי (śam·tî)Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singularStrong's 7760: Put -- to put, place, setMy faceפָ֠נַי (p̄ā·nay)Noun - masculine plural construct | first person common singularStrong's 6440: The faceagainst thisהַזֹּ֧את (haz·zōṯ)Article | Pronoun - feminine singularStrong's 2063: Hereby in it, likewise, the one other, same, she, so much, such deed, that, cityבָּעִ֨יר (bā·‘îr)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5892: Excitementto bring disasterלְרָעָ֛ה (lə·rā·‘āh)Preposition-l | Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 7451: Bad, eviland notוְלֹ֥א (wə·lō)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nogood,לְטוֹבָ֖ה (lə·ṭō·w·ḇāh)Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 2896: Pleasant, agreeable, gooddeclaresנְאֻם־ (nə·’um-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 5002: An oraclethe LORD.יְהוָ֑ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of IsraelIt will be handed over toבְּיַד־ (bə·yaḏ-)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 3027: A handthe kingמֶ֤לֶךְ (me·leḵ)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 4428: A kingof Babylon,בָּבֶל֙ (bā·ḇel)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 894: Babylon -- an eastern Mediterranean empire and its capital citywho will destroy itוּשְׂרָפָ֖הּ (ū·śə·rā·p̄āh)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular | third person feminine singularStrong's 8313: To be, on firewith fire.’בָּאֵֽשׁ׃ (bā·’êš)Preposition-b, Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 784: A fireJump to PreviousAffirmation Babylon Burn Burned City Declares Destroy Determined Evil Face Fire Good Hand Hands Harm Turned
