Jeremiah 25:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Yet you have not listened to Me, says the Lord, that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands to your own harm.

⁸ Therefore thus says the Lord of Hosts: Because you have not obeyed My words, ⁹ I will send and take all the families of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations; I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
