And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

The verse 12 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.

Wenn aber die siebzig Jahre um sind, will ich den König zu Babel heimsuchen und dies Volk, spricht der HERR, um ihre Missetat, dazu das Land der Chaldäer, und will es zur ewigen Wüste machen.
Y será que, cuando fueren cumplidos los setenta años, visitaré sobre el rey de Babilonia y sobre aquella gente su maldad, ha dicho Jehová, y sobre la tierra de los Caldeos; y pondrela en desiertos para siempre.
Cuando se cumplan los setenta años, castigaré por su culpa al rey de Babilonia y a esa nación —declara Jehová—, y a la tierra de los caldeos la convertiré en desolación perpetua.
Mais lorsque ces soixante-dix ans seront accomplis, je châtierai le roi de Babylone et cette nation, dit l'Eternel, à cause de leurs iniquités; je punirai le pays des Chaldéens, et j'en ferai des ruines éternelles.
E quando i settant’anni saran compiuti, io farò punizione sopra il re di Babilonia, e sopra quella gente, dice il Signore, della loro iniquità; ed anche sopra il paese de’ Caldei, e lo ridurrò in desolazioni perpetue.
Acontecerá, porém, que, quando se cumprirem os setenta anos, visitarei o rei de Babilônia, e esta nação, diz o SENHOR, castigando a sua iniqüidade, e a da terra dos caldeus; farei deles ruínas perpétuas.
七十年滿了以後,我必懲罰 巴比倫 王和那國,並 迦勒底 人之地,因他們的罪孽使那地永遠荒涼。這是耶和華說的。
