Jeremiah 32:24
32:24 Even now siege ramps have been built up around the city
in order to capture it. War,
starvation, and disease are sure to make the city fall into the hands of the Babylonians
who are attacking it.
Lord,
you threatened that this would happen. Now you can see that it is already taking place.

25:1 In the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah, the Lord spoke to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah. (That was the same as the first year that Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon.)
25:2 So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the people who were living in Jerusalem.
