Jeremiah 22:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 I will hand you over to those who seek your life, to those you dread: Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and the Chaldeans.(A) 26 I will cast you out, you and the mother who bore you,[a] into a land different from the land of your birth; and there you will die;(B) 27 Neither shall return to the land for which they yearn.(C)
