Jeremiah 25:8-38

8“ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, ‘BecauseH3282H834 you have not obeyedH8085 My wordsH1697, 9beholdH2009, I will 1sendH7971 and takeH3947 allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the northH6828,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘and I will send to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, 2My servantH5650, and will bringH935 them againstH5921 thisH2088 landH776 and againstH5921 its inhabitantsH3427 and againstH5921 allH3605 theseH428 nationsH1471 roundH5439 aboutH5439; and I will 3utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them and 4makeH7760 them a horrorH8047 and a hissingH8322, and an everlastingH5769 desolationH2723. 10Moreover, I will 56takeH6 from them the voiceH6963 of joyH8342 and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860 and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the 7soundH6963 of the millstonesH7347 and the lightH216 of the lampH5216. 118ThisH2088 wholeH3605 landH776 will be a desolationH2723 and a horrorH8047, and theseH428 nationsH1471 will serveH5647 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 9seventyH7657 yearsH8141.

12‘Then it will be 10when seventyH7657 yearsH8141 are completedH4390 I will 11punishH6485 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and that nationH1471,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘for their iniquityH5771, and the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; and 12I 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 13thisH2088 bookH5612 whichH834 JeremiahH3414 has prophesiedH5012 againstH5921 14allH3605 the nationsH1471. 14(15For 16manyH7227 nationsH1471 and greatH1419 kingsH4428 will makeH5647 slavesH5647 of them, evenH1571 them; and I will 17recompenseH7999 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 18cupH3563 of the wineH3196 of wrathH2534 from My handH3027 and cause allH3605 the nationsH1471 to whomH834 I sendH7971 you to drinkH8248 it. 16They will 19drinkH8354 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 20made allH3605 the nationsH1471 to whomH834 the LordH3068 sentH7971 me drinkH8248 it: 1821JerusalemH3389 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; 1922PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, his servantsH5650, his princesH8269 and allH3605 his peopleH5971; 20and allH3605 the 2324foreignH6154 peopleH6154, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 25landH776 of UzH5780, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the 26PhilistinesH6430 (even AshkelonH831, GazaH5804, EkronH6138 and the remnantH7611 of 27AshdodH795); 2128EdomH112, 29MoabH4124 and the sonsH1121 of 30AmmonH5983; 22and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 31TyreH6865, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of SidonH6721 and the kingsH4428 of 32the coastlandsH339 whichH834 are beyondH5676 the seaH3220; 23and 33DedanH1719, TemaH8485, 34BuzH938 and allH3605 who 35cutH7112 the cornersH6285 of their hair; 24and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 36ArabiaH6152 and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 3738foreignH6154 peopleH6154 who dwellH7931 in the desertH4057; 25and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 39ElamH5867 and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 40MediaH4074; 26and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, nearH7138 and farH7350, oneH376 with anotherH251; and 41allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 whichH834 are upon the faceH6440 of the groundH127, and the kingH4428 of 4243SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 afterH310 them.

27“You shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, “44DrinkH8354, be drunkH7937, vomitH7006, fallH5307 and riseH6965 noH3808 more becauseH4480H6440 of the 45swordH2719 whichH834 I will sendH7971 amongH996 you.”’ 28And it will be, ifH3588 they 46refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 from your handH3027 to drinkH8354, then you will sayH559 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635: “47You shall surelyH8354 drinkH8354! 29For beholdH2009, I am 48beginningH2490 to workH7489 calamityH7489 in this cityH5892 whichH834 is 49calledH7121 by My nameH8034, and shall you be completelyH5352 freeH5352 from punishmentH5352? You will not be freeH5352 from punishmentH5352; for 50I 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 51LordH3068 will 52roarH7580 from on highH4791 And utterH5414 His voiceH6963 from His holyH6944 habitationH4583; He will roarH7580 mightilyH7580 againstH5921 His 53foldH5116. 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 54a controversyH7379 with the nationsH1471. He is enteringH8199 into 55judgmentH8199 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 56nationH1471 to nationH1471, And a greatH1419 57stormH5591 is being stirredH5782 up From the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of the earthH776.

33“Those 58slainH2491 by the LordH3068 on that dayH3117 will be from one endH7097 of the earthH776 to the 59otherH7097H776. They will 60not be lamentedH5594, gatheredH622 or buriedH6912; they will be like 61dungH1828 on the faceH6440 of the groundH127.34WailH3213, you shepherdsH7462, and cryH2199; And 62wallowH6428 in ashes, you mastersH117 of the flockH6629; For the daysH3117 of your 63slaughterH2873 and your dispersionsH8600 64have comeH4390, And you will fallH5307 like a choiceH2532 vesselH3627.3565FlightH4498 will perishH6 from the shepherdsH7462, And escapeH6413 from the mastersH117 of the flockH6629.36Hear the soundH6963 of the cryH6818 of the shepherdsH7462, And the wailingH3215 of the mastersH117 of the flockH6629! For the LordH3068 is destroyingH7703 their pastureH4830,37And the peacefulH7965 6667foldsH5116 are madeH1826 silentH1826 BecauseH4480H6440 of the 68fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LordH3068.38He has leftH5800 His hidingH5520 placeH5520 69like the lionH3715; For their landH776 has becomeH1961 a horrorH8047 BecauseH4480H6440 of the fiercenessH2740 of the 70oppressingH3238 sword And becauseH4480H6440 of His fierceH2740 angerH639.”
