1 Esdras 1:50-52

Common English Bible

⁵⁰ The Chaldeans killed the young people around the holy temple. They spared neither man nor woman, young nor old, for God handed over all of them. ⁵¹ They seized and carried off to Babylon all the Lord’s holy equipment, great and small, the treasure chests of the Lord, and the royal stores. ⁵² They set fire to the Lord’s house. They smashed the walls of Jerusalem. They burned its towers with fire.
