Jer 25:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12–14 : After seventy years, God promises to punish Babylon for its own sins. He says, When seventy years are accomplished, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation…for their iniquity (Jeremiah 25:12 ). Babylon will become a desolation, just as they made other lands desolate. God will keep His word and judge Babylon for its pride and cruelty. Many nations and kings will rise up against Babylon, and they will make Babylon serve them, just as Babylon once made others serve. This shows that God is just—He will repay every nation according to what they have done (Jeremiah 25:14 ). Even powerful empires cannot escape God’s judgment.
