Jeremiah 52:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ Commander Nebuzaradan took the people who were still in Jerusalem^[a] and those who had surrendered earlier and made them captives. He took them and the skilled craftsmen who were left in Jerusalem as captives to Babylon. ¹⁶ But Nebuzaradan left some of the poorest people behind in the land. He left them to work in the vineyards and the fields.

¹⁷ The Babylonian army broke up the bronze columns of the Lord’s Temple. They also broke up the stands and the bronze tank^[b] that were in the Lord’s Temple. They carried all that bronze to Babylon.
