Jeremiah 52:17-23

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁷ Now the Chaldeans broke into pieces the bronze pillars for the Lord’s temple and the water carts and the bronze basin^[a] that were in the Lord’s temple,^(A) and they carried all the bronze to Babylon. ¹⁸ They also took the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling basins, dishes, and all the bronze articles used in the temple service. ¹⁹ The captain of the guards took away the bowls, firepans, sprinkling basins, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls^(B) – whatever was gold or silver.

²⁰ As for the two pillars, the one basin, with the twelve bronze oxen under it, and the water carts^[b] that King Solomon had made for the Lord’s temple, the weight of the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure. ²¹ One pillar was 8 metres^[c] tall, had a circumference of 5.4 metres,^[d] was hollow – four fingers thick –  ²² and had a bronze capital on top of it.^(C) One capital, encircled by bronze grating and pomegranates, stood 2.25 metres^[e] high. The second pillar was the same, with pomegranates. ²³ Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates all round it. All the pomegranates round the grating numbered one hundred.
