Jeremiah 25:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ But you would not obey me, declares the Lord. So you kept provoking me to anger with the work of your hands, and you have hurt yourselves.

⁸ Therefore this is what the Lord of Armies says. Because you have not obeyed my words, ⁹ watch out! I will send for all the clans of the north, declares the Lord, and I will send for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them against this land, against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and derision. The land will be ruins forever.
