Jeremiah 52:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ Captain Nebuzaradan sent away as prisoners some of the poor people and the rest of the people who remained in Jerusalem. He also sent away those people who had agreed to serve the king of Babylon, and the workers who had special skills. ¹⁶ But he let some of the poorest people stay there. He gave them vineyards and fields to work in.

¹⁷ The soldiers from Babylon broke the two bronze pillars that were in the Lord's temple. They also broke the carts which carried the buckets for water and the large bath called ‘the Sea’. They carried all the bronze pieces away to Babylon.
