Jeremiah 52:12-23
Legacy Standard Bible
12 (A)Now on the tenth day of the fifth month, which was the (B)nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, (C)Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 13 And he (D)burned the house of Yahweh, the (E)king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every large house he burned with fire. 14 So all the military force of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard (F)tore down all the walls around Jerusalem. 15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard (G)took away into exile some of the poorest of the people, the rest of the people who remained in the city, the [a](H)defectors who had defected to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the artisans. 16 But (I)Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had some of the poorest of the land remain to be vinedressers and [b]plowmen.
17 Now the bronze (J)pillars which belonged to the house of Yahweh and the (K)stands and the bronze (L)sea, which were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans shattered and carried all their bronze to Babylon. 18 They also took away the (M)pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the bowls, the [c]pans, and all the bronze vessels which were used to minister. 19 And the captain of the guard also took away the (N)cups, the firepans, the bowls, the pots, the lampstands, the [d]pans, and the offering bowls, what was fine gold and what was fine silver. 20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under [e]the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh—the bronze of all these vessels was (O)beyond weight. 21 As for the pillars, the (P)height of each pillar was [f]eighteen cubits, and [g]it was twelve cubits in (Q)circumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow. 22 Now a (R)capital of bronze was on it; and the height of each capital was five cubits, with network and (S)pomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates. 23 There were ninety-six [h]exposed pomegranates; all (T)the pomegranates numbered one hundred on the network all around.

New American Standard Bible 1995
12 (A)Now on the tenth day of the fifth month, which was the (B)nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, (C)Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, [a]who was in the service of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 13 He (D)burned the house of the Lord, the (E)king’s house and all the houses of Jerusalem; even every large house he burned with fire. 14 So all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard (F)broke down all the walls around Jerusalem. 15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard (G)carried away into exile some of the poorest of the people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, the [b](H)deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon and the rest of the artisans. 16 But (I)Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and [c]plowmen.
17 Now the bronze (J)pillars which belonged to the house of the Lord and the (K)stands and the bronze (L)sea, which were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces and carried all their bronze to Babylon. 18 They also took away the (M)pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the [d]pans and all the bronze vessels which were used in temple service. 19 The captain of the guard also took away the (N)bowls, the firepans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the [e]pans and the drink offering bowls, what was fine gold and what was fine silver. 20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under [f]the sea, and the stands, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—the bronze of all these vessels was (O)beyond weight. 21 As for the pillars, the (P)height of each pillar was eighteen [g]cubits, and [h]it was twelve cubits in (Q)circumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow. 22 Now a (R)capital of bronze was on it; and the height of each capital was five cubits, with network and (S)pomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates. 23 There were ninety-six [i]exposed pomegranates; all (T)the pomegranates numbered a hundred on the network all around.
