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 wrongdoingH5771, 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 8repayH7999 them according to their deedsH6467 and according to the workH4639 of their handsH3027.)’”

15For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559 to me: “TakeH3947 thisH2088 9cupH3563 of the wineH3196 of wrathH2534 from My handH3027 and giveH8248 it to allH3605 the nationsH1471 to whomH834 I sendH7971 you, toH8248 drinkH8248 from it. 16Then they will 10drinkH8354 and loudlyH1607 vomitH1607 and actH1984 insanelyH1984 becauseH4480H6440 of the swordH2719 that I am going to sendH7971 amongH996 them.”

17So I tookH3947 the cupH3563 from the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 and 11gaveH8248 it to allH3605 the nationsH1471 to whomH834 the LordH3068 sentH7971 me, toH8248 drinkH8248 from it: 18To 12JerusalemH3389 and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and its kingsH4428 and its officialsH8269, to makeH5414 them placesH2723 ofH2723 ruinsH2723, objectsH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047, 13hissingH8322, and a curseH7045, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117; 19To 14PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, his servantsH5650, his officialsH8269, and allH3605 his peopleH5971; 20and to allH3605 the 15foreignH6154 16peopleH6154, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 17landH776 of UzH5780, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the 18PhilistinesH6430 (that is, AshkelonH831, GazaH5804, EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of 19AshdodH795); 21To 20EdomH112, 21MoabH4124, and the sonsH1121 of 22AmmonH5983; 22and to allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 23TyreH6865, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of SidonH6721, and the kingsH4428 of 24the coastlandsH339 whichH834 are beyondH5676 the seaH3220; 23and to 25DedanH1719, TemaH8485, 26BuzH938, and allH3605 who 27trimH7112 the cornersH6285 of their hair; 24and to allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 28ArabiaH6152 and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 29foreignH6154 30peopleH6154 who liveH7931 in the desertH4057; 25and to allH3605 the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 31ElamH5867, and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 32MediaH4074; 26and to allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, nearH7138 and farH7350, oneH376 with anotherH251; and 33allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 whichH834 are on the faceH6440 of the groundH127; and the kingH4428 of 3435SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 it afterH310 them.

27“And you shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “36DrinkH8354, beH7937 drunkH7937, vomitH7006, fallH5307 down, and do not getH6965 upH6965, becauseH4480H6440 of the 37swordH2719 whichH834 I am sendingH7971 amongH996 you.”’ 28And ifH3588 they 38refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 from your handH3027 to drinkH8354, then you shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “39You shall certainlyH8354 drinkH8354! 29For beholdH2009, I am 40beginningH2490 to inflictH7489 disasterH7489 on this cityH5892 whichH834 is 41calledH7121 by My nameH8034, so should you beH5352 completelyH5352 freeH5352 fromH5352 punishmentH5352? You will not beH5352 freeH5352 fromH5352 punishmentH5352, for 42I am summoningH7121 a swordH2719 againstH5921 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.’

30“Therefore you shall prophesyH5012 againstH413 them allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, and you shall sayH559 to them, ‘The 43LordH3068 will 44roarH7580 from on highH4791 And raiseH5414 His voiceH6963 from His holyH6944 dwellingH4583; He will roarH7580 forcefullyH7580 againstH5921 His 45foldH5116. 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 46a controversyH7379 with the nationsH1471. He is enteringH8199 intoH8199 47judgmentH8199 with 48humanityH1320; As for the wickedH7563, He has turnedH5414 them overH5414 to the swordH2719,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068.”

32ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, evilH7463 is goingH3318 outH3318 From 49nationH1471 to nationH1471, And a greatH1419 50stormH5591 is being stirredH5782 upH5782 From the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of the earthH776.

33“Those 51putH2491 toH2491 deathH2491 by the LordH3068 on that dayH3117 will be from one endH7097 of the earthH776 to the 52otherH7097H776. They will 53not be mournedH5594, gatheredH622, or buriedH6912; they will be like 54dungH1828 on the faceH6440 of the groundH127.
