2 Chronicles 36:16-18
New English Translation

16 But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his warnings,[a] and ridiculed his prophets.[b] Finally the Lord got very angry at his people and there was no one who could prevent his judgment.[c] 17 He brought against them the king of the Babylonians, who slaughtered[d] their young men in their temple.[e] He did not spare[f] young men or women, or even the old and aging. God[g] handed everyone over to him. 18 He carried away to Babylon all the items in God’s temple, whether large or small, as well as what was in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple and in the treasuries of the king and his officials.
