Exegesis
The sentence opens with the conjunction ve'et {וְאֶת־ | wə-ʾet} marking the direct object before the verb, linking the action directly to Zedekiah.
The construct einei Tsidkiyahu {עֵינֵי צִדְקִיָּהוּ | ʿê-nê ṣ̱iḏ-qî-yā-hû} establishes “the eyes of Zedekiah” as the object.
In context — Jeremiah 39:7
And he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with bronze shackles to bring him to Babylon .
