Jeremiah 25:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ “But you [^Cpeople of Judah] did not listen to me,” says the Lord. “You made me angry by the work of your own hands [^Cidols], so I ·punished [harmed] you.”

⁸ So this is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] says: “Since you have not listened to my messages, ⁹ I will send for all the ·peoples [clans; families] of the north [^CBabylon],” says the Lord, “along with my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I will bring them all against Judah, those who live there, and all the nations around you, too. I will ·completely destroy [annihilate] all those countries and leave them ·in ruins [desolate] forever. ·People will be shocked when they see how badly I have destroyed those countries [^LI will make them a horror and a hissing and an everlasting reproach].
