   "Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees,   
   who slew their young men with the sword in the house of   
   their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or   
   maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them   
   all into his hand. And all the vessels of the house of God,   
   great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD,   
   and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these   
   he brought to Babylon. And they burnt the house of God, and   
   brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces   
   thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels   
   thereof. And them that had escaped from the sword carried he   
   away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his   
   sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia: To fulfil the   
   word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land   
   had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate   
   she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years."   
   2 Chronicles 36:17-21, KJV   
      
   "And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an   
   astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of   
   Babylon seventy years. 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."   
   Jeremiah 25:11-12, KJV   
      
   "For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be   
   accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my   
   good word toward you, in causing you to return to this   
   place."   
   Jeremiah 29:10, KJV   
      
   "In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the   
   seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the   
   Chaldeans; In the first year of his reign I Daniel   
   understood by books the number of the years, whereof the   
   word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would   
   accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem."   
   Daniel 9:1-2, KJV   
      
   "Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests,   
   saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh   
   month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me,   
   even to me?"   
   Zechariah 7:5, KJV
