Chapter 25 is the final chapter in the first section of the Book of Jeremiah, which deals with the earliest and main core of Jeremiah's message. [1] In this chapter, Jeremiah identified the length of the time of exile as seventy years ( verses 11 -12 ).
On this view, Jeremiah's prophecy that after seventy years God would punish the Babylonian kingdom (cf. Jeremiah 25:12) and once again pay special attention to his people in responding to their prayers and restoring them to the land (cf. Jeremiah 29:10–14) could not have been fulfilled by the disappointment that accompanied the return to the ...

A more complex theory is that this verse is drawing on material from both Jeremiah and Zechariah, but only attributes it to the former. The Oxford Annotated Bible states that the text in Zechariah 11:12-13 "form a Midrash on Jeremiah 18 –19". [8] There are some links to Jeremiah in these verses.
