33 So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king's table.
33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
33 So Jehoiachin put off his prison garments. And every day of his life he dined regularly at the king's table,
33 Jehoiachin took off his prison garb and from then on ate his meals in company with the king.
33 So Jehoiachin changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread regularly before the king all the days of his life.
33 He supplied Jehoiachin with new clothes to replace his prison garb and allowed him to dine in the king's presence for the rest of his life.
34 Day by day the king of Babylon gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived, till the day of his death.
34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every
34 and for his allowance, a regular allowance was given him by the king according to his daily need, until the day of his death, as long as he lived.
34 The king provided everything he needed to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
34 And as for his provisions, there was a regular ration given him by the king of Babylon, a portion for each day until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
34 So the Babylonian king gave him a regular food allowance as long as he lived. This continued until the day of his death.
(Read Jeremiah 52:31-34)
See this history of king Jehoiachin in 2 Kings 25:27-30. Those under oppression will find it is not in vain for them to hope and quietly to wait for the salvation of the Lord. Our times are in God's hand, for the hearts of all we have to deal with are so. May we be enabled, more and more, to rest on the Rock of Ages, and to look forward with holy faith to that hour, when the Lord will bring again Zion, and overthrow all the enemies of the church.
