Jeremiah 25:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ Moreover I will take from them the voice of laughter and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the candle. ¹¹ This whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

¹² It shall come to pass when seventy years are finished that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, says the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
