Jeremiah 25:29-38

29For I am already bringing disaster on the city that bears my name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth. This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.’

30“As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them: The Lord roars from on high; he makes his voice heard from his holy dwelling. He roars loudly over his grazing land; he calls out with a shout, like those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31The tumult reaches to the ends of the earth because the Lord brings a case against the nations. He enters into judgment with all humanity. As for the wicked, he hands them over to the sword — this is the Lord’s declaration.

32“This is what the Lord of Armies says: Pay attention! Disaster spreads from nation to nation. A huge storm is stirred up from the ends of the earth.”

33Those slain by the Lord on that day will be scattered from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like manure on the soil’s surface.

34Wail, you shepherds, and cry out. Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. Because the days of your slaughter have come, you will fall and become shattered like a precious vase.

35Flight will be impossible for the shepherds, and escape, for the leaders of the flock.

36Hear the sound of the shepherds’ cry, the wail of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasture.

37Peaceful grazing land will become lifeless because of the Lord’s burning anger.

38He has left his den like a lion, for their land has become a desolation because of the sword of the oppressor, because of his burning anger.
