Jeremiah

Jeremiah 25:11–12

11And this whole land will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.

12But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans,d for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
