21:2 Nebuchadnezzar . . . is attacking Judah: This event probably occurred around the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem in 588 BC (2 Kgs 25:1). • Zedekiah did not pray to the Lord as his ancestor Hezekiah had done (2 Kgs 19:14-20, 29-37; 2 Chr 32:20-22; Isa 37:1-7, 14-20). However, the king expected Jeremiah to perform the miracle of turning away the Lord’s anger.
