19. fast of . . . fourth month —On the fourth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah's reign, on the ninth day, Jerusalem was taken ( Jeremiah 39:2 ; Jeremiah 52:6 ; Jeremiah 52:7 ). It was therefore made a fast day. fifth . . . seventh —(See on Zechariah 7:3 ; Zechariah 7:3- : ). tenth —On the tenth month and tenth day, in the ninth year of Zedekiah, the siege began ( Jeremiah 52:4 ). therefore love the truth —or, " only love." English Version is better. God's blessing covenanted to Israel is not made to depend on Israel's goodness: but Israel's goodness should follow as the consequence of God's gracious promises ( Zechariah 8:16 ; Zechariah 8:17 ; Zechariah 7:9 ; Zechariah 7:10 ). God will bless, but not those who harden themselves in sin. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-20" class="com-number"
