Jeremiah 40:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

40 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him bound in chains among all who were carried away captive from Jerusalem and Judah, who were taken as exiles to Babylon.

² And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, The Lord your God pronounced evil upon this place.

³ Now the Lord has brought it about and has done as He said: [It is] because you [of Judah] have sinned against the Lord and have not obeyed His voice, therefore this thing has come upon you.
