Jeremiah 25:29-38

29For behold, I am 1beginning to inflict disaster on this city which is 2called by My name, so should you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment, for 3I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares the Lord of armies.’

30“Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them, ‘The 4Lord will 5roar from on high And raise His voice from His holy dwelling; He will roar forcefully against His 6fold. 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 7a controversy with the nations. He is entering into 8judgment with 9humanity; As for the wicked, He has turned them over to the sword,’ declares the Lord.”

32This is what the Lord of armies says: “Behold, evil is going out From 10nation to nation, And a great 11storm is being stirred up From the remotest parts of the earth.

33“Those 12put to death by the Lord on that day will be from one end of the earth to the 13other. They will 14not be mourned, gathered, or buried; they will be like 15dung on the face of the ground.34Wail, you shepherds, and cry out; 16Wallow in the dust, you masters of the flock; For the days of your 17slaughter and your dispersions 18have come, And you will fall like a precious vessel.3519There will be 20no sanctuary for the shepherds, Nor escape for 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,37And the peaceful 21grazing places are devastated Because of the 22fierce anger of the Lord.38He has left His hiding place 23like the lion; For their land has become a horror Because of the fierceness of the 24oppressing sword And because of His fierce anger.”
