2 Chronicles 36:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ And the enemies set fire to the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burnt all the towers, and whatsoever was precious they destroyed.

²⁰ Whosoever escaped the sword, was led into Babylon, and there served the king and his sons till the reign of the king of Persia.

²¹ That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, and the land might keep her sabbaths: for all the days of the desolation she kept a sabbath, till the seventy years were expired.
