19 They burned God's temple, tore down Jerusalem's walls, burned down all its palaces, and destroyed everything of value. 20 The king of Babylon took those who weren't executed to Babylon to be slaves for him and his sons. They remained captives until the Persian Empire began to rule. 21 This happened so that the LORD's words spoken through Jeremiah would be fulfilled. The land had its years of rest and was made acceptable [again]. While it lay in ruins, [the land had its] 70 years of rest. 2 Chronicles 36:19-21, God's Word Translation.
