2 Chronicles 36:16-17
36:16 But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his warnings,
and ridiculed his prophets.
Finally the
Lord got very angry at his people and there was no one who could prevent his judgment.
36:17 He brought against them the king of the Babylonians, who slaughtered
their young men in their temple.
He did not spare
young men or women, or even the old and aging. God
handed everyone over to him.
Daniel 9:11-12
9:11 “All Israel has broken your law and turned away by not obeying you. Therefore you have poured out on us the judgment solemnly threatened in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you.
9:12 He has carried out his threats against us and our rulers who were over us by bringing great calamity on us – what has happened to Jerusalem has never been equaled under all heaven!
