2 Chronicles 36:16-19 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁶but they continually ^amocked the messengers of God, ^bdespised His words and scoffed at His prophets, ^cuntil the wrath of Yahweh arose against His people, until there was no remedy. ¹⁷^aTherefore He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans who killed their choice men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on choice man or virgin, old man or infirm; He gave them all into his hand. ¹⁸^aAnd all the articles of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and of his officials, he brought them all to Babylon. ¹⁹Then ^athey burned the house of God and tore down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned all its palaces with fire and destroyed all its valuable articles.
