But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.

The verse 5 is found in chapter 34 of Jeremiah. Zedekiah is warned that Jerusalem will be handed over to Babylon, but he is promised that he will die in peace and receive funeral honors. The chapter also recalls a temporary liberation of Hebrew slaves carried out during the siege. The initial act of obedience will later be reversed, revealing the moral inconsistency of the leaders.

sondern du sollst im Frieden sterben. Und wie deinen Vätern, den vorigen Königen, die vor dir gewesen sind, so wird man auch dir einen Brand anzünden und dich beklagen: "Ach Herr!" denn ich habe es geredet, spricht der HERR.
En paz morirás, y conforme a las quemas de tus padres, los reyes primeros que fueron antes de ti, así quemarán por ti, y te endecharán diciendo, ¡Ay, señor!; porque yo he hablado la palabra, dice Jehová.
Morirás en paz. Así como quemaron aromas por tus padres, los reyes anteriores que te precedieron, también los quemarán por ti, y se lamentarán por ti diciendo: ‘¡Ay, señor!’. Porque yo he pronunciado esta palabra —declara Jehová—”».
Tu mourras en paix; et comme on a brûlé des parfums pour tes pères, les anciens rois qui t'ont précédé, ainsi on en brûlera pour toi, et l'on te pleurera, en disant: Hélas, seigneur! Car j'ai prononcé cette parole, dit l'Eternel.
Tu morrai in pace, e ti saranno arsi aromati, come si è fatto a’ tuoi padri, i re precedenti, che sono stati avanti te; e si farà cordoglio di te, dicendo: Ahi Signore! perciocchè io ho pronunziata la parola, dice il Signore.
Em paz morrerás, e conforme as queimas para teus pais, os reis precedentes, que foram antes de ti, assim queimarão para ti, e prantear-te-ão, dizendo: Ah, SENHOR! Pois eu disse a palavra, diz o SENHOR.
必平安而終,人要為你焚燒,好像為你祖先,就是在你以前早先的王焚燒一樣。人要為你舉哀說:『哀哉!我主啊。』這話是我說的。這是耶和華說的。」
