Jeremiah 52:15-17
Easy-to-Read Version
15 Commander Nebuzaradan took the people who were still in Jerusalem[a] and those who had surrendered earlier and made them captives. He took them and the skilled craftsmen who were left in Jerusalem as captives to Babylon. 16 But Nebuzaradan left some of the poorest people behind in the land. He left them to work in the vineyards and the fields.
17 The Babylonian army broke up the bronze columns of the Lord’s Temple. They also broke up the stands and the bronze tank[b] that were in the Lord’s Temple. They carried all that bronze to Babylon.

- Jeremiah 52:15 the people … Jerusalem This is from the ancient Greek version. The phrase, “some of the poorest people,” which appears in the standard Hebrew text, seems to have been accidentally copied from the next verse.
- Jeremiah 52:17 bronze columns … tank These verses list the things that the Babylonian army took away from the Lord’s Temple. For a description of the Temple furniture, see 1 Kings 7:13-26.
