For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

The verse 14 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.

Und sie sollen auch großen Völkern und großen Königen dienen. Also will ich ihnen vergelten nach ihrem Verdienst und nach den Werken ihrer Hände.
Porque se servirán también de ellos muchas gentes, y reyes grandes; y yo les pagaré conforme a sus hechos, y conforme a la obra de sus manos.
Porque también a ellos los someterán muchas naciones y grandes reyes. Les pagaré según sus hechos y según las obras de sus manos».
Car des nations puissantes et de grands rois les asserviront, eux aussi, et je leur rendrai selon leurs oeuvres et selon l'ouvrage de leurs mains.
Perciocchè anche genti grandi, e re possenti li ridurranno in servitù; ed io renderò loro la retribuzione secondo i fatti loro, e secondo le opere delle lor mani
Porque também deles se servirão muitas nações e grandes reis; assim lhes retribuirei segundo os seus feitos, e segundo as obras das suas mãos.
因為必有許多國家和大君王使 迦勒底 人作奴僕;我也必照他們的行為,按他們手所做的報應他們。」
