14:036:011 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign,
           and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

14:036:012 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the lord his
           God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet
           speaking from the mouth of the lord.

14:036:013 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made
           him swear by God:  but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his
           heart from turning unto the lord God of Israel.

14:036:014 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people,
           transgressed very much after all the abominations of the
           heathen; and polluted the house of the lord which he had
           hallowed in Jerusalem.

14:036:015 And the lord God of their fathers sent to them by his
           messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had
           compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: 

14:036:016 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words,
           and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the lord arose
           against his people, till there was no remedy.

14:036:017 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who
           slew their young men with the sword in the house of their
           sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old
           man, or him that stooped for age:  he gave them all into his
           hand.

14:036:018 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and
           the treasures of the house of the lord, and the treasures of
           the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.

14:036:019 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of
           Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and
           destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

14:036:020 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to
           Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until
           the reign of the kingdom of Persia: 

14:036:021 To fulfil the word of the lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until
           the land had enjoyed her sabbaths:  for as long as she lay
           desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

14:036:022 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word
           of the lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be
           accomplished, the lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of
           Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his
           kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
