⁹ ‘behold, I will send and take all the families of the North,’ says the LORD, ‘and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babel, My servant, and will bring them against this land and against its inhabitants and against all these nations all around and will destroy them and make them an astonishment and a hissing and a continual desolation.

¹⁰ ‘Moreover, I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the noise of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
