Chapter VIII
Text | Commentary |
1Then the angels did as he had comanded them; and when they had broken up the corners of the walls, a voice was heard from the interior of the temple, after the wall had fallen, saying,2
Enter, you enemies of Jerusalem, And let her adversaries come in; For he who kept the house has abandoned it.
And I, Baruch, went away. 3,4And after this the Chaldaean army entered and took possession of the house and all that was round about it. 5And they carried the people off as captives: some of them they killed; and they put Zedekiah the king in fetters and sent him to the king of Babylon.
