ore God, ye
shall be led away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodonosor king
of the Babylonians.

EpJer 6:3

years, and for a long season, namely, seven generations: and
after that I will bring you away peaceably from thence.

EpJer 6:4
Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of silver, and of gold, and
of wood, borne upon shoulders, which cause the nations to fear.

EpJer 6:5

neither be ye and of them, when ye see the multitude before them
and behind them, worshipping them.

EpJer 6:6
