Jeremiah 25:9-11 expresses Jehovah's judgement against Judah principally and the surrounding nations who themselves are not identified. In verse 11 it says 'this land' will become a devastated place, an object of astonishment' which applies to Judah alone and that Judah and the other nations would serve Babylon for seventy years. This proves along with Daniel 9:2 and 2 Chronicles 36:21 that Judah would be desolate for seventy years.
Jeremiah 25:12 is an oracle only addressed to Babylon and this judgement would commence after the seventy yeras had been fulfilled/ The seventy years was fulfilled in 537 and after that Babylon received her judgement progressively as shown in verse where it to would become desolate, a condition that was not experienced in 539. The above scriptures prove collectively that the seventy years was a[eriod marked by exile, desolation and servitude.
