Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

The verse 9 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.

siehe, so will ich ausschicken und kommen lassen alle Völker gegen Mitternacht, spricht der HERR, auch meinen Knecht Nebukadnezar, den König zu Babel, und will sie bringen über dies Land und über diese Völker, so umherliegen, und will sie verbannen und verstören und zum Spott und zur ewigen Wüste machen,
He aquí enviaré yo, y tomaré todos los linajes del aquilón, dice Jehová, y a Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, mi siervo, y traerelos contra esta tierra, y contra sus moradores, y contra todas estas naciones en derredor; y los destruiré, y pondrelos por escarnio, y por silbo, y en soledades perpetuas.
j'enverrai chercher tous les peuples du septentrion, dit l'Eternel, et j'enverrai auprès de Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, mon serviteur; je le ferai venir contre ce pays et contre ses habitants, et contre toutes ces nations à l'entour, afin de les dévouer par interdit, et d'en faire un objet de désolation et de moquerie, des ruines éternelles.
ecco, io manderò per tutte le nazioni di Settentrione, dice il Signore; e per Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, mio servitore; e le farò venire contro a questo paese, e contro a’ suoi abitanti, e contro a tutte queste genti d’intorno; e le distruggerò, e le metterò in desolazione, e in zufolo, e in disertamenti eterni.
Eis que eu enviarei, e tomarei a todas as famílias do norte, diz o SENHOR, como também a Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, meu servo, e os trarei sobre esta terra, e sobre os seus moradores, e sobre todas estas nações em redor, e os destruirei totalmente, e farei que sejam objeto de espanto, e de assobio, e de perpétuas desolações.
看哪,我必召北方的眾族和我僕人 巴比倫 王 尼布甲尼撒 前來攻擊這地和這地的居民,並四圍所有的國民。我要將他們盡行滅絕,以致他們令人驚駭、嗤笑,並且永久荒涼 。這是耶和華說的。
