11 And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy (A)years.

12 ‘Then it will come to pass, (B)when [a]seventy years are completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity,’ says the Lord; (C)‘and I will make it a perpetual desolation. 13 So I will bring on that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations. 14 (D)(For many nations (E)and great kings shall (F)be served by them also; (G)and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands.)’ ”
