Yirmeyahu 25:8-14 ירמיהו כ״ה:ח׳-י״ד

Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts; Because you have not heard my words,

behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the Lord, and Nevukhadreżżar the king of Bavel, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual ruins.

Moreover, I will take from them the voice of mirth, 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.

And this whole land shall be a ruin, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Bavel seventy years.

And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Bavel, and that nation, says the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Kasdim, and will make it everlasting desolation.

And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Yirmeyahu has prophesied against all the nations.

For many nations and great kings shall enslave them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
