- seventy:
- This prophecy was delivered in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, and began to be accomplished immediately; and it was exactly seventy years from this time to the proclamation of Cyrus for the return of the Jews. "And it shall come to pass,¹ when seventyª yearsª are accomplished,ª° [that] I will punishª°¹ the kingª of Babylon,ª and that¹ nation,ª saithª° the LORD,ª for¹ their iniquity,ª and the landª of the Chaldeans,ª and will makeª° it perpetualª desolations.ª" {Jer 25:12} + "To fulfilª° the wordª of the LORDª by the mouthª of Jeremiah,ª until¹ the landª had enjoyedª°¹ her sabbaths:ª [for] as long asª¹ she lay desolateª° she kept sabbath,ª° to fulfilª° threescore and tenª years.ª ... Now in the firstª yearª of Cyrusª kingª of Persia,ª that the wordª of the LORDª [spoken] by the mouthª of Jeremiahª might be accomplished,ª° the LORDª stirred upª°¹ the spiritª of Cyrusª kingª of Persia,ª that he made a proclamationªª° throughout all¹ his kingdom,ª and [put it] also¹ in writing,ª saying,ª°" {2Ch 36:21-22} + "And it shall come to pass¹ in that¹ day,ª that Tyreª shall be forgottenª° seventyª years,ª according to the daysª of oneª king:ª after the endª¹ of seventyª yearsª shall Tyreª singª as an harlot.ª° ... And it shall come to pass¹ after the endª¹ of seventyª years,ª that the LORDª will visitª°¹ Tyre,ª and she shall turnª° to her hire,ª and shall commit fornicationª° with¹ all¹ the kingdomsª of the worldª upon¹ the faceª of the earth.ª" {Isa 23:15-17} + "In the firstª yearª of his reignª° I¹ Danielª understoodª° by booksª the numberª of the years,ª whereof¹ the wordª of the LORDª came¹ to¹ Jeremiahª the prophet,ª that he would accomplishª° seventyª yearsª in the desolationsª of Jerusalem.ª" {Dan 9:2} + "Then the angelª of the LORDª answeredª° and said,ª° O LORDª of hosts,ª how long¹¹ wilt thou¹ not¹ have mercy²° on¹¹ Jerusalemª and on the citiesª of Judah,ª against which¹ thou hast had indignationª° these¹ threescore and tenª years?ª" {Zch 1:12} + "Speakª° unto¹ all¹ the peopleª of the land,ª and to¹ the priests,ª saying,ª° When¹ ye fastedª° and mournedª° in the fifthª and seventhª [month], even those¹ seventyª years,ª did ye at all²° fastª° unto me, [even] to me?¹" {Zch 7:5}
