Jeremiah 25:9-11

The Voice

⁹ I am about to summon the clans of the north along with King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon who serves Me. I will use them to punish this land and those of you who live in it. I will also use them against all the surrounding nations of Judah. I will destroy them completely, making them a place of horror, an object of scorn, a land of everlasting ruin. ¹⁰ I will silence any hint of laughter and joy, the sweet words of the bride and bridegroom at a wedding, the milling of grain and the lighting of a lamp. ¹¹ It will all end, and this place will be a horrific wasteland. And these nations will serve the king of Babylon for 70 years.
