Jeremiah 25:9-18

9beholdH2005, I will summonH7971H3947 allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the northH6828, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, andH413 I will send for My servantH5650 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, whom I will bringH935 againstH5921 thisH2063 landH776, againstH5921 its residentsH3427, and againstH5921 allH3605 theH428 surroundingH5439 nationsH1471. So I will devote them to destructionH27631 and make themH7760 an object of horrorH8047 and contemptH8322, an everlastingH5769 desolationH2723.

10Moreover, I will banishH6 from them the soundsH6963 of joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, the voicesH6963 of the brideH3618 andH6963 bridegroomH2860H6963, the soundH6963 of the millstonesH7347, and the lightH216 of the lampH5216. 11And thisH2063 wholeH3605 landH776 will becomeH1961 a desolateH2723 wastelandH8047, and theseH428 nationsH1471 will serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 for seventyH7657 yearsH8141.

12But whenH1961 seventyH7657 yearsH8141 are completeH4390, I will punishH6485H5921 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894H5921 and thatH1931 nationH1471, the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778,2 for their guiltH5771H5921, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, and I will makeH7760 itH853 an everlastingH5769 desolationH8077.

13I will bringH935 uponH5921 thatH1931 landH776 allH3605 the wordsH1697 I have pronouncedH1696 against itH5921, allH3605 that is writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612, whichH834 JeremiahH3414 has prophesiedH5012 againstH5921 allH3605 the nationsH1471. 14ForH3588 manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 will enslaveH5647 themH1992, and I will repayH7999 them according to their deedsH6467 and according to the workH4639 of their handsH3027.’”

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;
