Jeremiah 52:19-21
Easy-to-Read Version
19 The commander of the king’s special guards took these things away: basins, firepans, large bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and bowls used for drink offerings. He took everything that was made of gold or silver. 20 The two pillars, the Sea and the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the moveable stands were very heavy. King Solomon had made those things for the Lord’s Temple. The bronze that those things were made of was so heavy it could not be weighed.
21 Each of the bronze pillars was 31 feet[a] tall. Each pillar was almost 21 feet[b] around. Each pillar was hollow. The wall of each pillar was 3 inches[c] thick.
