Jeremiah 25:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ But you didn’t listen to me,” declares the Lord, “so as to provoke me with the idols^[a] you make with your hands to your own harm.

⁸ “Therefore, this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: ‘Because you haven’t listened to my message, ⁹ I’m now sending for all the tribes from the north, declares the Lord, and for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I’ll bring them against this land, against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I’ll utterly destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn,^[b] and an everlasting desolation.
