Jeremiah 52:14-23

NSB(i) 14 The entire Babylonian army that was with the captain of the guard tore down the walls around Jerusalem. 15 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, captured the few people left in the city, those who surrendered to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the population. 16 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, left some of the poorest people in the land to work in the vineyards and on the farms. 17 The Babylonians broke apart the copper pillars of Jehovah’s Temple, the stands, and the copper pool in Jehovah’s Temple. They shipped all the copper to Babylon. 18 they took the pots, shovels, snuffers, bowls, dishes, and all the copper utensils used in the Temple service. 19 The captain of the guard also took pans, incense burners, bowls, pots, lamp stands, dishes, and the bowls used for wine offerings. The captain of the guard took all of the trays and bowls that were made of gold or silver. 20 The copper from the two pillars, the pool, and the twelve copper bulls under the stands that King Solomon had made for Jehovah’s Temple could not be weighed. 21 One pillar was twenty-seven feet high and eighteen feet in circumference. It was three inches thick and hollow. 22 The crown that was on it was seven and one half feet high with filigree and pomegranates around it. They were all made of copper. The second pillar was the same. It also had pomegranates. 23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides. The total number of pomegranates on the surrounding filigree was one hundred.
