New Defender's Study Bible Notes

25:7 put out the eyes. A Babylonian monument was found with an engraving depicting the eyes of a captive king being put out. This punishment of Zedekiah was predicted—namely that he would see Nebuchadnezzar face to face (Jeremiah 32:4; 34:3), but not see Babylon (Ezekiel 12:13).
