Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of his prophets ;
rising early and sending his messengers ,
for he spared his people ,
and his sanctuary .
*
Nevertheless they sneered at his messengers ,
and set at nought his words ,
and mocked his prophets ,
until the wrath of the Lord rose up against his people ,
till there was no remedy .
*
And he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans ,
and slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary ,
and did not spare Sedekias ,
and had no mercy upon their virgins ,
and they led away their old men :
he delivered all things into their hands .
*
And all the vessels of the house of God ,
the great and the small ,
and the treasures of the house of the Lord ,
and all the treasures of the king and the great men ;
he brought all to Babylon .
*
And he burnt the house of the Lord ,
and (

broke down the wall of Jerusalem ,
and burnt its palaces with fire ,
and utterly destroyed every beautiful vessel .
*
And he carried away the remnant to Babylon ;
and they were servants to him and to his sons until the establishment of the kingdom of the Medes .
*
That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled ,
until the land should enjoy its sabbaths in resting and sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation ,
till the accomplishment of seventy years .
*
In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians ,
after the fulfillment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias ,
the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians ,
and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom ,
saying ,
*
Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth ,
The Lord God of heaven has given me power ,
and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem ,
in Judea .
Who is there of you of all his people ?
his God shall be with him ,
and let him go up .
