Jeremiah 25:12

Context

25:12 “‘But when the seventy years are over, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation 1  for their sins. I will make the land of Babylon 2  an everlasting ruin. 3  I, the Lord, affirm it! 4 

1 tn Heb “that nation.”

2 tn Heb “the land of the Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for the use of the term “Chaldeans.”

3 tn Heb “I will visit upon the king of Babylon and upon that nation, oracle of the Lord, their iniquity even upon the land of the Chaldeans and I will make it everlasting ruins.” The sentence has been restructured to avoid ambiguity and to conform the style more to contemporary English.

sn Compare Isa 13:19-22 and Jer 50:39-40.

4 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
