I am stuck on these two truths:
The Lord punishes the wicked and upholds the righteous.
The Lord does whatever He pleases.
King Zedekiah watches the Chaldeans murder all of his sons. Then his eyes are poked out. The very last thing the man sees is his sons being murdered.
Jeremiah, on the other hand, is treated well and given freedom to live among the people.
