Jeremiah 27:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ Now, at the present time, I have given all these lands to my servant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and I have even made the wild animals subject to him. ⁷ All nations will serve him and his son and his grandson, until the time of his land will also come, and mighty nations and great kings will make him their slave. ⁸ But in the meantime, if any nation or kingdom will not serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon or submit its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, says the Lord, until I have ensured their destruction by his hand.
