Jeremiah 52:27
And there at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon killed the lot of them in cold blood. Judah went into exile, orphaned from her land.
Such profoundly sad words. The generation of the exile—those who had almost en masse rejected God for idols—had ended up dead by famine, or by the sword, or carried away into Hamath to be executed, or carried into exile in Babylon.
Judah went into exile, orphaned from her land, The Messages paraphrases. Can their be sadder words than this?
