11 And I shall certainly bring home [its own] badness upon the productive land,*+ and their own error upon the wicked themselves. And I shall actually cause the pride of the presumptuous ones to cease, and the haughtiness of the tyrants* I shall abase.+

12 “‘And it must occur that when seventy years have been fulfilled+ I shall call to account against the king of Babylon and against that nation,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘their error, even against the land of the Chal·deʹans,+ and I will make it desolate wastes to time indefinite.+

7 And all the nations must serve even him+ and his son and his grandson until the time even of his own land comes,+ and many nations and great kings must exploit him as a servant.’+

50 The word that Jehovah spoke concerning Babylon,*+ concerning the land of the Chal·deʹans,+ by means of Jeremiah the prophet:

11 “Polish the arrows.+ Fill the circular shields, O men. Jehovah has aroused the spirit of the kings of the Medes,+ because it is against Babylon that his idea is,+ in order to bring her to ruin. For it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance for his temple.+
