New King James Version

Jeremiah 39:7-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

7. Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with bronze fetters to carry him off to Babylon.

8. And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

9. Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people who remained in the city and those who defected to him, with the rest of the people who remained.

10. But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left in the land of Judah the poor people, who had nothing, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

11. Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,

12. “Take him and look after him, and do him no harm; but do to him just as he says to you.”
