y el Señor la ha traído y hecho tal como había dicho. Porque vosotros pecasteis contra el Señor y no escuchasteis su voz, por tanto os ha sucedido esto.
y Jehová lo ha traído y hecho según lo había dicho; porque pecasteis contra Jehová, y no oísteis su voz, por eso os ha venido esto.
y lo trajo e hizo el SEÑOR según que había dicho: porque pecasteis contra el SEÑOR, y no oísteis su voz, por tanto os ha venido esto.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now the Lord hath brought [it], and done according as he hath said,.... As he purposed, so it came to pass; as he foretold by his prophet, so it was brought about by his providence. This Heathen captain acknowledges the hand of the Lord in all this; and suggests, that his master, the king of Babylon, himself, and the rest of the generals, were only instruments the Lord made use of; which is very piously as well as wisely said; and more is here acknowledged by him than by the Jews themselves; who were not willing to believe that God had determined evil against them, or would bring it on them; at least, this they did not care to believe and own before, whatever they did now; he goes on to observe the cause of all this:
because ye have sinned against the Lord, and have not obeyed his voice,
therefore this thing is come upon you; meaning not Jeremiah particularly, but his countrymen; and perhaps he might turn himself to, and address, the captives that were before him. Here he vindicates the justice of God; and ascribes the ruin of this people, not to the valour of Nebuchadnezzar and his captains; nor to the strength, and courage, and skilfulness of his army; or to any righteousness and merits of the king of Babylon; or to the justness of his cause; but to the sins of the people.
