The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord, Was caught in their pits, Of whom we said, “Under his shadow We shall live among the nations.”

- The "Breath of Our Nostrils": Jeremiah describes the king as the vital breath or life of the nation, reflecting how the people of Judah depended on the Davidic monarchy for survival and security. [1, 2]
- The "Anointed of the LORD": This title refers to Zedekiah's status as God's chosen king over Judah. [1, 2, 3]
- Captured in the Pits / Traps: The verse laments how Zedekiah was hunted down, captured by the Babylonian (Chaldean) army near Jericho, and brought to Riblah, where he saw his sons killed before being blinded and taken to Babylon. [1, 2, 3]
- Falsely Placed Hope: The people had foolishly believed that living under the shadow or protection of their king would keep them safe from foreign nations, only to see that human leadership could not save them from divine judgment. [1, 2]
