Jeremiah 25:17-38
17Then tookH3947 I the cupH3563 at Yhwh'sH3068 handH3027, and made all the nationsH1471 to drinkH8248, unto whom YhwhH3068 had sentH7971 me: 18To wit, JerusalemH3389, and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and the kingsH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, to makeH5414 them a desolationH2723, an astonishmentH8047, an hissingH8322, and a curseH7045; as it is this dayH3117; 19PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and his servantsH5650, and his princesH8269, and all his peopleH5971; 20And all the mingledH6153 people, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of UzH5780, and all the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and AshkelonH831, and AzzahH5804, and EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of AshdodH795, 21EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, 22And all the kingsH4428 of TyreH6865, and all the kingsH4428 of SidonH6721, and the kingsH4428 of the islesH339 which are beyondH5676 the seaH3220,1 23DedanH1719, and TemaH8485, and BuzH938, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285,2 24And all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152, and all the kingsH4428 of the mingled peopleH6153 that dwellH7931 in the desertH4057, 25And all the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, and all the kingsH4428 of ElamH5867, and all the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074, 26And all the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, farH7350 and nearH7138, oneH376 with anotherH251, and all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776, which are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127: and the kingH4428 of SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 afterH310 them. 27Therefore thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; DrinkH8354 ye, and be drunkenH7937, and spueH7006, and fallH5307, and riseH6965 no more, becauseH6440 of the swordH2719 which I will sendH7971 among you. 28And it shall be, if they refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 at thine handH3027 to drinkH8354, then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635; Ye shall certainlyH8354 drinkH8354. 29For, lo, I beginH2490 to bring evilH7489 on the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by my nameH8034, and should ye be utterlyH5352 unpunishedH5352? Ye shall not be unpunishedH5352: for I will callH7121 for a swordH2719 upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776, saithH5002 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635.3 30Therefore prophesyH5012 thou against them all these wordsH1697, and sayH559 unto them, YhwhH3068 shall roarH7580 from on highH4791, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from his holyH6944 habitationH4583; he shall mightilyH7580 roarH7580 upon his habitationH5116; he shall giveH6030 a shoutH1959, as they that treadH1869 the grapes, against all the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776. 31A noiseH7588 shall comeH935 even to the endsH7097 of the earthH776; for YhwhH3068 hath a controversyH7379 with the nationsH1471, he will pleadH8199 with all fleshH1320; he will giveH5414 them that are wickedH7563 to the swordH2719, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 32Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, Behold, evilH7451 shall go forthH3318 from nationH1471 to nationH1471, and a greatH1419 whirlwindH5591 shall be raised upH5782 from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776. 33And the slainH2491 of YhwhH3068 shall be at that dayH3117 from one endH7097 of the earthH776 even unto the other endH7097 of the earthH776: they shall not be lamentedH5594, neither gatheredH622, nor buriedH6912; they shall be dungH1828 uponH6440 the groundH127.
34HowlH3213, ye shepherdsH7462, and cryH2199; and wallowH6428 yourselves in the ashes, ye principalH117 of the flockH6629: for the daysH3117 of your slaughterH2873 and of your dispersionsH8600 are accomplishedH4390; and ye shall fallH5307 like a pleasantH2532 vesselH3627.45 35And the shepherdsH7462 shall have no wayH4498 to fleeH6, nor the principalH117 of the flockH6629 to escapeH6413.6 36A voiceH6963 of the cryH6818 of the shepherdsH7462, and an howlingH3215 of the principalH117 of the flockH6629, shall be heard: for YhwhH3068 hath spoiledH7703 their pastureH4830. 37And the peaceableH7965 habitationsH4999 are cut downH1826 becauseH6440 of the fierceH2740 angerH639 of YhwhH3068. 38He hath forsakenH5800 his covertH5520, as the lionH3715: for their landH776 is desolateH8047 becauseH6440 of the fiercenessH2740 of the oppressorH3238, and becauseH6440 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.7
