Jeremiah 43:10

And say unto them, the witnesses of his symbolical act, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, My servant, for as such he acted in this instance, in carrying out the Lord's purpose upon Egypt, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them, namely, the rich tapestry which formed the curtains of the throne.
