Jeremiah 52:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ and set the Chaldean army to work tearing down the walls of the city. ¹⁵ Then he took to Babylon, as captives, some of the poorest of the people—along with those who survived the city’s destruction, and those who had deserted Zedekiah and had come over to the Babylonian army, and the tradesmen who were left. ¹⁶ But he left some of the poorest people to care for the crops as vinedressers and plowmen.
