Excerpt from The English Bible, Vol. 5: Translated Out of the Original Tongues by the Commandment of King James the First, Anno 1611; Apocrypha Neverthelesse, the God of their fathers sent by his messenger to call them backe, because he spared them and his tabernacle also but they had his messengers in derision, and looke when the Lorde spake unto them, they made a Sport of his prophets, so farre foorth that he being wroth with his people for their great ungodlinesse, commanded the kings of the Caldees to come up against them. Who slew their yong men with the sword, yea even within the compasse of their holy Temple, and spared neither yong man nor maid, old man nor child among them, for hee delivered all into their hands. And they tooke all the holy vessels of the Lord, both great and small, with the vessels of the Ark of God, and the kings treasures, and caried them away into Babylon. As for the house of the Lord they burnt it, brake downe the walles of Ierusalem, set fire upon her towres. And as for her glorious things, they never ceased til they had consumed and brought them all to nought, and the people that were not slaine with the sword, he caried unto Babylon who became servants to him and his children, till the Persians reigned, to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Ieremie: Until] the land had enioyed her Sabbaths, the whole time of her desolation shal she rest, until] the full terme of seventie yeeres.
