Jeremiah 52:12-23
Lexham English Bible
12 Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard,[a] who stood before[b] the king of Babylon, entered into Jerusalem. 13 And he burned the temple[c] of Yahweh, and the palace[d] of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house he burned with fire. 14 And all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard[e] broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around. 15 And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard[f] deported some of the poor of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and the deserters who deserted to the king of Babylon, along with the rest of the craftsmen. 16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard[g] left some of the poor of the land to serve as vinedressers and farmers.
17 And the Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in the temple[h] of Yahweh, and the kettle stands and the sea of bronze that were in the temple[i] of Yahweh, and they carried all their bronze to Babylon. 18 And they took with them the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the sprinkling bowls, and the pans, and all the vessels of bronze which were used in temple service. 19 And the captain of the guard[j] took the bowls, and the firepans, and the sprinkling bowls, and the pots, and the lampstands, and the pans, and the libation bowls, those made of solid gold[k] and those made of solid silver.[l] 20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze oxen that were under the kettle stands which King Solomon had made for the temple[m] of Yahweh—there was not a weight for the bronze of all these vessels! 21 Now the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits,[n] and a thread of twelve cubits[o] surrounded it, and its thickness was four fingers, hollowed out. 22 And a capital upon it was bronze and the height of the one capital was five cubits, and latticework and pomegranates were on the capital on all sides, all of bronze. And like these was the second pillar with pomegranates. 23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides;[p] all the pomegranates on the latticework on all sides were a hundred.

New American 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 [a]was in the service of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. 13 And 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 the entire army 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 into exile some of the poorest of the people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, the (H)deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen. 16 But (I)Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and farmers.
17 Now the bronze (J)pillars which belonged to the house of the Lord and the (K)stands and the bronze [b](L)sea, which were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans smashed to pieces and carried all their bronze to Babylon. 18 They also took the (M)pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the [c]pans, and all the bronze vessels which were used in temple service. 19 The captain of the guard also took the (N)bowls, the firepans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the [d]pans, and the drink offering bowls, whatever was fine gold, and whatever was fine silver. 20 The two pillars, the one [e]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 [g]eighteen cubits, and [h]it was twelve cubits in (Q)circumference and four fingers in thickness, and hollow. 22 Also, a (R)capital of bronze was on top of it; and the height of each capital was [i]five cubits, with latticework and (S)pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates. 23 There were ninety-six [j]exposed pomegranates; all (T)the pomegranates numbered a hundred on the latticework all around.
