2Chronicles:36:15-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ,
though Yahweh God of their fathers sent unto them through his messengers ,
zealously sending them ,
because he had compassion upon his people and upon his habitation ,
*
yet became they mockers of the messengers of God ,
and despisers of his words ,
and mimics of his prophets ,
until the mounting up of the wrath of Yahweh against his people ,
until there was no healing .
*
So he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans ,
who slew their young men with the sword ,
in the house of their sanctuary ,
and had no compassion upon young man or virgin ,
elder or ancient ,-
all ,
delivered he into his hand .
*
And ,
all the utensils of the house of God ,
both great and small ,
and the treasures of the house of Yahweh ,
and the treasures of the king and of his rulers ,
the whole ,
carried he to Babylon ;
*
and they burned the house of God ,
and threw down the wall of Jerusalem ,
and ,
all the palaces thereof ,
burned they with fire ,
and ,
all the precious vessels thereof ,
he destroyed ;
*
and he exiled the remnant left from the sword ,
into Babylon ,
where they became his and his sons ,
as servants ,
until the reign of the kingdom of Persia :
*
to fulfil the word of God ,
by the mouth of Jeremiah ,
until the land had paid off her sabbaths ,
all the days of her lying desolate ,
she kept sabbath ,
to fulfil seventy years .
*
But ,
in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia ,
to accomplish the word of God by the mouth of Jeremiah ,
Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia ,
so that he made proclamation throughout all his kingdom ,
moreover also in writing ,
saying :
*
Thus ,
saith Cyrus king of Persia ,
All the kingdoms of the earth ,
hath Yahweh God of the heavens ,
given unto me ,
and ,
he himself ,
hath laid charge upon me ,
to build to him a house ,
in Jerusalem ,
which is in Judah .
Who is there among you of all his people with whom is Yahweh his God ?
Then let him go up .
