Jeremiah 40:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

40 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that Nabuzardan the general had let him go from Rama, when he had taken him, being bound with chains, among all them that were carried away from Jerusalem and Juda, and were carried to Babylon.

² And the general of the army taking Jeremias, said to him: The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place,

³ And he hath brought it: and the Lord hath done as he hath said: because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not hearkened to his voice, and this word is come upon you.
