Jeremiah 25:10-12

Contemporary English Version

^10 (A) I will put an end to your parties and wedding celebrations; no one will grind grain or be here to light the lamps at night. ^11 (B) This country will be as empty as a desert, because I will make all of you the slaves of the king of Babylonia for 70 years.

¹² When that time is up, I will punish the king of Babylonia and his people for everything they have done wrong, and I will turn that country into a wasteland forever.
