Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 25:12

And it shall come to pass, when (i) seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will punish (k) the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

(i) This revelation was for the confirmation of his prophecy because he told them of the time that they would enter and remain in captivity, (2 Chronicles 36:22; Ezra 1:1; Jeremiah 29:10; Daniel 9:2).

(k) For seeing the judgment began at his own house, the enemies must be punished most grievously, (Ezekiel 9:6; 1 Peter 4:17).
