Jeremiah 25:12-33
12‘Then it will be 1when seventyH7657 yearsH8141 are completedH4390 I will 2punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and that nationH1471,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘for their iniquityH5771, and the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; and 3I will makeH7760 it an everlastingH5769 desolationH8077. 13I will bringH935 upon that landH776 allH3605 My wordsH1697 whichH834 I have pronouncedH1696 againstH5921 it, allH3605 that is writtenH3789 in 4thisH2088 bookH5612 whichH834 JeremiahH3414 has prophesiedH5012 againstH5921 5allH3605 the nationsH1471. 14(6For 7manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 will makeH5647 slavesH5647 of them, evenH1571 them; and I will 8recompenseH7999 them according to their deedsH6467 and according to the workH4639 of their handsH3027.)’”
15For thusH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559 to me, “TakeH3947 thisH2088 9cupH3563 of the wineH3196 of wrathH2534 from My handH3027 and cause allH3605 the nationsH1471 to whomH834 I sendH7971 you to drinkH8248 it. 16They will 10drinkH8354 and staggerH1607 and goH1984 madH1984 becauseH4480H6440 of the swordH2719 that I will sendH7971 amongH996 them.”
17Then I tookH3947 the cupH3563 from the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 and 11made allH3605 the nationsH1471 to whomH834 the LordH3068 sentH7971 me drinkH8248 it: 1812JerusalemH3389 and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and its kingsH4428 and its princesH8269, to makeH5414 them a ruinH2723, a horrorH8047, a hissingH8322 and a curseH7045, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117; 1913PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, his servantsH5650, his princesH8269 and allH3605 his peopleH5971; 20and allH3605 the 1415foreignH6154 peopleH6154, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 16landH776 of UzH5780, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the 17PhilistinesH6430 (even AshkelonH831, GazaH5804, EkronH6138 and the remnantH7611 of 18AshdodH795); 2119EdomH112, 20MoabH4124 and the sonsH1121 of 21AmmonH5983; 22and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 22TyreH6865, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of SidonH6721 and the kingsH4428 of 23the coastlandsH339 whichH834 are beyondH5676 the seaH3220; 23and 24DedanH1719, TemaH8485, 25BuzH938 and allH3605 who 26cutH7112 the cornersH6285 of their hair; 24and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 27ArabiaH6152 and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 2829foreignH6154 peopleH6154 who dwellH7931 in the desertH4057; 25and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 30ElamH5867 and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 31MediaH4074; 26and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, nearH7138 and farH7350, oneH376 with anotherH251; and 32allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 whichH834 are upon the faceH6440 of the groundH127, and the kingH4428 of 3334SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 afterH310 them.
27“You shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “35DrinkH8354, be drunkH7937, vomitH7006, fallH5307 and riseH6965 noH3808 more becauseH4480H6440 of the 36swordH2719 whichH834 I will sendH7971 amongH996 you.”’ 28And it will be, ifH3588 they 37refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 from your handH3027 to drinkH8354, then you will sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635: “38You shall surelyH8354 drinkH8354! 29For beholdH2009, I am 39beginningH2490 to workH7489 calamityH7489 in this cityH5892 whichH834 is 40calledH7121 by My nameH8034, and shall you be completelyH5352 freeH5352 from punishmentH5352? You will not be freeH5352 from punishmentH5352; for 41I am summoningH7121 a swordH2719 againstH5921 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.’
30“Therefore you shall prophesyH5012 againstH413 them allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, and you shall sayH559 to them, ‘The 42LordH3068 will 43roarH7580 from on highH4791 And utterH5414 His voiceH6963 from His holyH6944 habitationH4583; He will roarH7580 mightilyH7580 againstH5921 His 44foldH5116. He will shoutH1959 like those who treadH1869 the grapes, AgainstH413 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776.31A clamorH7588 has comeH935 to the endH7097 of the earthH776, BecauseH3588 the LordH3068 has 45a controversyH7379 with the nationsH1471. He is enteringH8199 into 46judgmentH8199 with allH3605 fleshH1320; As for the wickedH7563, He has givenH5414 them to the swordH2719,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068.”
32ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “BeholdH2009, evilH7463 is goingH3318 forthH3318 From 47nationH1471 to nationH1471, And a greatH1419 48stormH5591 is being stirredH5782 up From the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of the earthH776.
33“Those 49slainH2491 by the LordH3068 on that dayH3117 will be from one endH7097 of the earthH776 to the 50otherH7097H776. They will 51not be lamentedH5594, gatheredH622 or buriedH6912; they will be like 52dungH1828 on the faceH6440 of the groundH127.
