Jeremiah 27:5-8

I made the earth, its people, and all its animals with my great power and strength. I can give the earth to anyone I want. Now I have given all these lands to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant. I will make even the wild animals obey him. All nations will serve Nebuchadnezzar and his son and grandson. Then the time will come for Babylon to be defeated, and many nations and great kings will make Babylon their servant. “ ‘ “But if some nations or kingdoms refuse to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and refuse to be under his control, I will punish them with war, hunger, and terrible diseases, says the LORD. I will use Nebuchadnezzar to destroy them.
