Chapter 52 of Jeremiah presents a detailed account of the fall of Jerusalem and the deportation of the inhabitants of Judah to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. The chapter describes how the city was besieged and won by the Babylonians, with the destruction of the temple and the royal palace. King Zedekiah's capture is also reported, which is taken to Babylon. Following are five verses related to the topics addressed in Jeremiah 52:

Ezekiel 1:1: "In the thirty year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was among the exiles by the Quebar River, the heavens opened and I had divine visions."
