Jeremiah 25:8-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ Therefore this is what the Lord of Armies says. Because you have not obeyed my words, ⁹ watch out! I will send for all the clans of the north, declares the Lord, and I will send for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them against this land, against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and derision. The land will be ruins forever. ¹⁰ I will take the sound of joy away from them and the sound of gladness. I will take away the voice of the bride and groom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp. ¹¹ This whole land will become a desolation and a ruin, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
