Jeremiah 25:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And you have not heard me, saith the Lord, that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own hurt.

⁸ Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Because you have not heard my words:

⁹ Behold I will send, and take all the kindreds of the north, saith the Lord, and Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all the nations that are round about it: and I will destroy them, and make them an astonishment and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
