Jeremiah 25

1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS concerning all the people of Juda in the fourth year of Joakim,son of Josias, king of Juda; 2 which he spoke to all the people of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 3 In the thirteenth year of Josias, son of Amos, king of Juda, even until this day for threeand twenty years, I have both spoken to you, rising early and speaking, 4 and I sent to you my servants the prophets, sending them early; (but you⌃ hearkened not,and listened not with your ears;) saying, 5 Turn you⌃ every one from his evil way, and from your evil practices, and you⌃ shall dwellin the land which I gave to you and your fathers, of old and for ever. 6 Go you⌃ not after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them, that you⌃ provokeme not by the works of your hands, to do you hurt. 7 But you⌃ hearkened not to me. 8 Therefore thus says the Lord; Since you⌃ believed not my words, 9 behold Iwill send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and againstthe inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste,and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach. 10 And I will destroy fromamong them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and thevoice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle. 11 And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventyyears. 12 And when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will take vengeance on that nation, and willmake them a perpetual desolation. 13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it,even all things that are written in this book. 34 THE PROPHECIES OF JEREMIAS AGAINST THE NATIONS OF AeLAM. 35 Thus says the Lord, The bow of Aelam is broken,even the chief of their power. 36 And I will bring upon Aelam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I willdisperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nationto which they shall not come—even the outcasts of Aelam. 37 And I will put them in fear before their enemies that seek their life; and I will bringevils upon them according to my great anger; and I will send forth my sword after them, until I have utterlydestroyed them. 38 And I will set my throne in Aelam, and will send forth thence king and rulers. But it shall come to pass at the end of days, that I will turn the captivity of Aelam,says the Lord.
