Jeremiah 25:3-4

Seventy Years of Captivity

³“For the past twenty-three years—from the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, until now—the Lord has been giving me his messages. I have faithfully passed them on to you, but you have not listened.

⁴“Again and again the Lord has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention.
