Jeremiah 52:16-20
Contemporary English Version
16 Only the very poorest were left behind to work the vineyards and the fields.
17-20 (A) Nebuzaradan ordered his soldiers to go to the temple and take everything made of gold or silver, including bowls, fire pans, sprinkling bowls, pans, lampstands, dishes for incense, and the cups for wine offerings. The Babylonian soldiers took all the bronze things used for worship at the temple, including the pans for hot ashes, and the shovels, lamp snuffers, sprinkling bowls, and dishes for incense. The soldiers also took everything else made of bronze, including the two columns that stood in front of the temple, the large bowl called the Sea, the twelve bulls that held it up, and the movable stands.[a] The soldiers broke these things into pieces so they could take them to Babylonia. There was so much bronze that it could not be weighed.
