Jeremiah 25:15-38
This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saidH559 to meH413: “TakeH3947 from My handH3027 thisH2063 cupH3563 of the wineH3196 of wrathH2534, and make allH3605 the nationsH1471 to whomH834 IH595 sendH7971 youH413 drinkH8248 from itH853. 16And they will drinkH8354 and staggerH1607 and go out of their mindsH1984, because ofH6440 the swordH2719 thatH834 IH595 will sendH7971 among themH996.”
17So I tookH3947 the cupH3563 from the LORD’sH3068 handH3027 and made allH3605 the nationsH1471 drinkH8248 from itH853, each one to whomH413 the LORDH3068 had sent meH7971, 18to makeH5414 themH853 a ruinH2723, an object of horrorH8047 and contemptH8322 and cursingH7045, as they are to thisH2088 dayH3117—JerusalemH3389 and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, its kingsH4428 and officialsH8269; 19PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, his officialsH5650, his leadersH8269, andH853 allH3605 his peopleH5971; 20allH3605 the mixed tribesH6154; allH3605 the kingsH4428 of UzH776H5780; allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the PhilistinesH776H6430: AshkelonH831, GazaH5804, EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of AshdodH795; 21EdomH123, MoabH4124, and the AmmonitesH1121H5983; 22allH3605 the kingsH4428 of TyreH6865 andH853 SidonH6721; the kingsH4428 of the coastlandsH339 acrossH5676 the seaH3220; 23DedanH1719, TemaH8485, BuzH938, and allH3605 who cutH7112 the cornersH6285 of their hair; 24allH3605 the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152, and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the mixed tribesH6154 who dwellH7931 in the desertH4057; 25allH3605 the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, ElamH5867, andH853 MediaH4074; 26allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, both nearH7138 and farH7350, oneH376 afterH413 anotherH251—allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127. And after all of themH310, the kingH4428 of SheshachH83471 will drinkH8354 it too.
27“Then you are to tell themH559 thatH413 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: ‘DrinkH8354, get drunkH7937, and vomitH7006. Fall downH5307 and neverH3808 get up againH6965, because ofH6440 the swordH2719 IH595 will sendH7971 among youH996.’
IfH3588 they refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 from your handH3027 and drink itH8354, you are to tell themH559 thatH413 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559: ‘You most certainly must drink itH8354! 29ForH3588 beholdH2009, IH595 am beginningH2490 to bring disasterH7489 on the cityH5892 thatH834 bearsH7121 My NameH8034, so how could youH859 possibly go unpunishedH5352? You will notH3808 go unpunishedH5352, forH3588 IH589 am calling downH7121 a swordH2719 uponH5921 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635.’
30So youH859 are to prophesyH5012 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 againstH413 themH853 and sayH559 to themH413:
32This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:
33Those slainH2491 by the LORDH3068 on thatH1931 dayH3117 will be spreadH1961 from one endH7097 of the earthH776 toH5704 the otherH7097H776. They will notH3808 be mournedH5594H3808, gatheredH622H3808, or buriedH6912. They will beH1961 like dungH1828 lyingH5921 onH6440 the groundH127.
