Jeremiah 25:24-36

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.’

28

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:

‘The LORDH3068 will roarH7580 from on highH4791;He will raiseH5414 His voiceH6963 from His holyH6944 habitationH4583.He will roar loudlyH7580 overH5921 His pastureH5116;like those who tread the grapesH1869,He will call outH6030 with a shoutH1959againstH413 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776.31The tumultH7588 will resoundH935 toH5704 the endsH7097 of the earthH776becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 brings a chargeH7379 against the nationsH1471.HeH1931 brings judgmentH8199 on allH3605 mankindH1320and putsH5414 the wickedH7563 to the swordH2719,’”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

32This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:

“BeholdH2009! DisasterH7451 is spreadingH3318from nationH1471 toH413 nationH1471;a mightyH1419 stormH5591 is risingH5782from the endsH3411 of the earthH776.”

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.

34WailH3213, you shepherdsH7462, and cry outH2199;roll in the dustH6428, you leadersH117 of the flockH6629.ForH3588 the daysH3117 of your slaughterH2873 have comeH4390;you will fallH5307 and be shatteredH8600 like fineH2532 potteryH3627.235FlightH4498 will evadeH6H4480 the shepherdsH7462,and escapeH6413 will elude the leadersH117 of the flockH6629.36Hear theH6963 cryH6818 of the shepherdsH7462,the wailingH3215 of the leadersH117 of the flockH6629,forH3588 the LORDH3068 is destroyingH7703 their pastureH4830.
