12 Then after (A)seventy years are completed, (B)I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, (C)the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, declares the Lord, (D)making the land an everlasting waste. 13 I will bring upon that land all the words that I have uttered against it, everything written (E)in this book, which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations. 14 (F)For many nations (G)and great kings shall make slaves even of them, (H)and I will recompense them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”

12 “Then, after the seventy years of captivity are over, I will punish the king of Babylon and his people for their sins,” says the Lord. “I will make the country of the Babylonians[a] a wasteland forever. 13 I will bring upon them all the terrors I have promised in this book—all the penalties announced by Jeremiah against the nations. 14 Many nations and great kings will enslave the Babylonians, just as they enslaved my people. I will punish them in proportion to the suffering they cause my people.”
