O king! For you have become great and strong. Your greatness is such that it reaches to heaven, and your authority to the ends of the earth.
Jeremiah 25:9-14
25:9 So I, the
Lord, affirm that
I will send for all the peoples of the north
and my servant,
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and all the nations that surround it. I will utterly destroy
this land, its inhabitants, and all the nations that surround it
and make them everlasting ruins.
I will make them objects of horror and hissing scorn.
25:10 I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness, to the glad celebration of brides and grooms in these lands.
I will put an end to the sound of people grinding meal. I will put an end to lamps shining in their houses.
25:11 This whole area
will become a desolate wasteland. These nations will be subject to the king of Babylon for seventy years.’
25:12 “‘But when the seventy years are over, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation for their sins. I will make the land of Babylon an everlasting ruin. I, the Lord, affirm it!
25:13 I will bring on that land everything that I said I would. I will bring on it everything that is written in this book. I will bring on it everything that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
25:14 For many nations and great kings will make slaves of the king of Babylon and his nation too. I will repay them for all they have done!’”

and I give it to whomever I see fit.

of my servant,
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I have even made all the wild animals subject to him.
27:7 All nations must serve him and his son and grandson
until the time comes for his own nation to fall.
Then many nations and great kings will in turn subjugate Babylon.
Habakkuk 2:5
2:5 Indeed, wine will betray the proud, restless man!

like death, he is never satisfied.
He gathers all the nations;
he seizes all peoples.
