The verse 11 is found in chapter 25 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah summarizes twenty-three years of ignored preaching and presents exile as the consequence of refusing to listen. Babylon is called God’s servant to execute judgment, but it will also be judged afterward. Divine sovereignty over the nations does not make Babylon innocent: the instrument will also answer for its own actions.
