Jeremiah 25:12

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.

14 ^a(For many nations ^band great kings shall ^cbe served by them also; ^dand I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands.)’ ”
