The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): sed in pace morieris : et secundum combustiones patrum tuorum, regum priorum qui fuerunt ante te, sic comburent te : et : Væ domine, plangent te : quia verbum ego locutus sum, dicit Dominus.
Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 41:5: Ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἀποθανῇ· καὶ ὡς ἔκλαυσαν τοὺς πατέρας σου τοὺς βασιλεύσαντας πρότερόν σου, κλαύσονται καὶ σέ, καὶ ἕως ᾅδου κόψονταί σε· ὅτι λόγον ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα, εἶπεν Κύριος.
Hebrew (WLC): בְּשָׁל֣וֹם תָּמ֗וּת וּֽכְמִשְׂרְפ֣וֹת אֲ֠בוֹתֶיךָ הַמְּלָכִ֨ים הָרִֽאשֹׁנִ֜ים אֲשֶׁר הָי֣וּ לְפָנֶ֗יךָ כֵּ֚ן יִשְׂרְפוּ לָ֔ךְ וְה֥וֹי אָד֖וֹן יִסְפְּדוּ לָ֑ךְ כִּֽי דָבָ֥ר אֲנִֽי דִבַּ֖רְתִּי נְאֻם יְהוָֽה

Haydock's commentary

Peace. That is, by a natural death. (Challoner)

Burn thee, like Asa; (2 Paralipomenon xvi. 14.; Calmet) or aromatical spices were only burnt over their dead bodies, which were also embalmed. (Sanctius; Vatable, &c.)

Tostat says that Sedecias was intoxicated, for sport, (Habacuc ii. 15.) and died of grief in prison, chap. lii. 11. (Calmet)

The king of Babylon would probably not refuse him a decent burial. (Watson, Let. vi.)
