Jeremiah 25:8-14

8Therefore thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot: “Since you have not heard My words,

9I will soon send for and bring all the families of the north”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“and I will send for King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and I will utterly destroy them, and make them a horror, and a hissing, an enduring desolation.

10“Moreover, I will silence among them the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.

11“So this whole land will be a desolate ruin, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for 70 years.

12Then it will come to pass, when 70 years are completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation,” declares Adonai, “the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, and I will make it ruins forever.

13I will bring on that land all My words which I pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

14For many nations and great kings will make slaves of them also. So I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their own hands.”
