Jeremiah 25:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 And when the [a]seventy years are accomplished, I will visit [b]the king of Babel and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquities, even the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it a perpetual desolation.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all nations.
14 For many nations, and great kings shall even [c]serve themselves of them: thus will I recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
