God foretold that his people would have to endure this bitter treatment for 70 years because of their own wicked deeds. Then God would deliver them and let them return to their homeland. ​ — Jeremiah 25: 11; 29: 10.
Jumal kuulutas ette, et tema rahvas peab oma kurjade tegude pärast kannatama seda karmi kohtlemist 70 aastat, siis aga Jumal vabastab nad ja laseb neil kodumaale naasta.
