Listen the Word of God is essential for our spiritual life. In this passage, Yahweh reassures sedecias, promising to him that he will not die by the sword, thus stressing the
mercy divine. To deepen this promise of protection, we can turn to
Jeremiah 29:11 , which reminds us of the peace plans that God has for us, and
psalm 23: 4 , which evokes the comforting presence of the Lord even in difficult times. May our faith guide us towards attentive listening to his voice.
