25 And it came about in the ninth+ year of his being king, in the tenth month on the tenth+ day of the month, that Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar+ the king of Babylon came,+ yes, he and all his military force, against Jerusalem and began camping against it and building against it a siege wall all around.+

17 So he brought up against them the king of the Chal·deʹans,+ who proceeded to kill their young men with the sword+ in the house of their sanctuary,+ neither did he feel compassion for young man or virgin, old or decrepit.+ Everything He gave into his hand.

7 He has gone up as a lion out of his thicket,+ and the one who is bringing the nations to ruin has pulled away;+ he has gone forth from his place in order to render your* land as an object of astonishment. Your own cities will fall in ruins so that there will be no inhabitant.+
