Jeremiah 25:24-36

24and all the kings of 1Arabia and all the kings of the 2 3foreign people who dwell in the desert; 25and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of 4Elam and all the kings of 5Media; 26and all the kings of the north, near and far, one with another; and 6all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the ground, and the king of 7 8Sheshach shall drink after them.

27“You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “9Drink, be drunk, vomit, fall and rise no more because of the 10sword which I will send among you.”’ 28And it will be, if they 11refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you will say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “12You shall surely drink! 29For behold, I am 13beginning to work calamity in this city which is 14called by My name, and shall you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment; for 15I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares the Lord of hosts.’

30“Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them, ‘The 16Lord will 17roar from on high And utter His voice from His holy habitation; He will roar mightily against His 18fold. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, Against all the inhabitants of the earth.31A clamor has come to the end of the earth, Because the Lord has 19a controversy with the nations. He is entering into 20judgment with all flesh; As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,’ declares the Lord.”

32Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, evil is going forth From 21nation to nation, And a great 22storm is being stirred up From the remotest parts of the earth.

33“Those 23slain by the Lord on that day will be from one end of the earth to the 24other. They will 25not be lamented, gathered or buried; they will be like 26dung on the face of the ground.34Wail, you shepherds, and cry; And 27wallow in ashes, you masters of the flock; For the days of your 28slaughter and your dispersions 29have come, And you will fall like a choice vessel.35 30Flight will perish from the shepherds, And escape from the masters of the flock.36Hear the sound of the cry of the shepherds, And the wailing of the masters of the flock! For the Lord is destroying their pasture,
