Now viewing scripture range from the book of 1 Esdras chapter 1:55 through chapter 1:58...
55 As for the house of the Lord, they burnt it, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem, and set fire upon her towers:
56 And as for her glorious things, they never ceased till they had consumed and brought them all to nought: and the people that were not slain with the sword he carried unto Babylon:
57 Who became servants to him and his children, till the Persians reigned, to fulfil the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremy:
58 Until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths, the whole time of her desolation shall she rest, until the full term of seventy years.
