Then I will do you no harm.’Jeremiah 25:7‘But to your own harm, you have not listened to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so you have provoked Me to anger with the works of your hands.’Jeremiah 25:8Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Because you have not obeyed My words,Jeremiah 25:9behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations.
