Jeremiah 25:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 25:11

9 behold, I will send and take ^aall the families of the north,’ says the Lord, ‘and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ^bMy servant, and will bring them against this land, against its inhabitants, and against these nations all around, and will utterly destroy them, and ^cmake them an astonishment, a hissing, and perpetual desolations.

10 Moreover I will take from them the ^avoice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, ^bthe sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.

11 And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy ^ayears.

12 ‘Then it will come to pass, ^awhen seventy years are completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity,’ says the Lord; ^b‘and I will make it a perpetual desolation.

13 So I will bring on that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.
