Jeremiah 25:12–14

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.

¹³I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations. ¹⁴For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”
