Bible verse
But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
Jeremiah 52:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 52.
12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
13 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
14 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
15 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen.
16 But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
17 Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
18 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
19 The captain of the guard also took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
20 As for the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
