Jeremiah 25:10-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ I will eliminate the sound of joy and gladness from them—the voice of the groom and the bride,^(A) the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp. ¹¹ This whole land will become a desolate ruin, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for 70 years.^{(B) 12} When the 70 years are completed, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation’—this is the Lord’s declaration—‘the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, and I will make it a ruin forever.^(C)
