Jeremiah 25

CHAPTER 25 The Captivity of Judah

1 The word coming to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the [²year ¹fourth] of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah; it was [²year ¹the first] to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; 2 which [⁴spoke ¹Jeremiah ²the ³prophet] to all the people of Judah, and to the ones dwelling in Jerusalem, saying, 3 In the thirteenth year of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah, and until this day for twenty and three years, that [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to me, and I spoke to you rising early and speaking, and you listened not. 4 And I sent to you my servants the prophets, [²them at dawn ¹sending] (and you did not listen, and you did not take heed with your ears), 5 saying, Turn indeed each from [³way ¹his ²wicked], and from [²wicked ³practices ¹your]! and you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to you and to your fathers from the eon and unto the eon. 6 Go not after strange gods to serve them! and to do obeisance to them, so that you should not provoke me to anger by the works of your hands so as for me to afflict you. 7 And you hearkened not to me. 8 On account of this, thus says the lord, Since you trusted not my words, 9 behold, I send and I shall take the family of the north, and I will lead them upon this land, and against the ones dwelling it, and against all the nations round about it. And I will make them quite desolate. And I will appoint them for extinction, and for hissing, and for [²scorn ¹everlasting]. 10 And I will destroy from them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of perfumed liquid, and the light of a lamp. 11 And [⁴will be ¹all ²the ³land] for extinction, and [²shall serve ¹these nations] to the king of Babylon seventy years. 12 And in the fulfilling the seventy years, I will take vengeance upon the king of Babylon, and upon that nation of their unrighteousness, says the lord, and upon the land of the Caldeans. And I will appoint them for [²extinction ¹everlasting]. 13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I spoke against it, all the things being written in this scroll; 14 as many things as Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations, for they laid service against them when they were [²nations ¹many] and [²kings ¹great]. And I will recompense to them according to their works, according to the actions of their hands.

The Cup of The LORD's Wrath

15 Thus said the lord God of Israel, Take the cup [²wine ¹of this undiluted] from out of my hand! and you shall give to drink all the nations to whom I send you unto them. 16 And they shall drink, and vomit forth, and shall be driven mad from in front of the sword of which I shall send in the midst of them. 17 And I took the cup from out of the hand of the lord, and I gave to drink all the nations to whom [³sent ⁴me ¹the ² lord] unto them; 18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the king of Judah, and his rulers -- to appoint them for desolation, and for an untrodden land, and for a hissing, and for a curse as this day; 19 even Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his children, and his great men, and all his people, 20 and all his consolidations, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remaining of Ashdod, 21 and Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, 22 and all the kings of Tyre, and the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the ones on the other side of the sea, 23 and Dedan and Tema, and Buz, and all being shaven around his face, 24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the consolidations of the ones resting up in the wilderness, 25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, 26 and all the kings from the east wind, the ones at a distance, and of the ones near, each with his brother, and all the kingdoms, the ones upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink with them. 27 And you shall say to them, thus said the lord almighty, Drink, be intoxicated, and vomit forth, and fall, and in no way rise up from in front of the sword! of which I send in the midst of you. 28 And it will be whenever they should not want to take the cup from out of your hand so as to drink, then you shall say, Thus said the lord of the forces, By drinking you shall drink. 29 For in the city upon which [²is named ¹my name] by it, I begin to afflict. And you by cleansing in no way shall be cleansed, for [³a sword ¹I ²shall call] upon all the ones settling down upon the earth, says the lord of the forces. 30 And you shall prophesy against them all these words, and shall say, The lord from on high shall execute from [²place ¹his holy] he shall give his voice; [²a word ¹he will execute] against his place; and thus as ones gathering vintage shall be answered, and against the ones settling upon the earth shall come ruin, 31 upon a part of the earth. For judgment is by the lord among the nations; he himself pleads to all flesh; but the impious shall be given to the sword, says the lord. 32 Thus said the lord of the forces, Behold, evils come from nation upon nation, and [²tempest ¹a great] goes forth from end of the earth. 33 And there will be slain by the lord in that day from a part of the earth, even unto into a part of the earth; in no way shall they be lamented, and in no way shall they be gathered, and in no way shall they be buried, for [²dung ³upon ⁴the face ⁵of the ⁶earth ¹they will be]. 34 Shout, O shepherds, and cry out! And beat the chest, O rams of the flocks! For [²were filled ¹your days] for slaughter, and you shall fall as the [²rams ¹choice]. 35 And [²shall perish ¹flight] from the shepherds, and safety shall flee from the rams of the flocks. 36 A sound of a cry of the shepherds, and a shout of the rams, for the lord annihilated their pastures. 37 And [⁴shall cease ¹the ²rest places ³of peace] from the face of the anger of the rage of the lord. 38 He abandoned [²as ³a lion ¹his lodging], for [²became ¹their land] an untrodden place from in front of the [²sword ¹great].
