Jeremiah 25:6-26

6 ^cDo not go after other gods to serve and worship them, ^dor provoke me to anger ^ewith the work of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’ 7 ^fYet you have not listened to me, declares the Lord, ^gthat you might provoke me to anger ^hwith the work of your hands to your own harm.

8 “Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: Because you have not obeyed my words, 9 ⁱbehold, I will send for all the tribes of the north, declares the Lord, and for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ^jmy servant, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will devote them to destruction, ^kand make them a horror, a hissing, and an everlasting desolation. 10 Moreover, ^lI will banish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, ^mthe grinding of the millstones and ⁿthe light of the lamp. 11 ^oThis whole land shall become a ruin and a waste, and ^pthese nations shall serve the king of Babylon ^qseventy years. 12 Then after ^rseventy years are completed, ^sI will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, ^tthe land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, declares the Lord, ^umaking the land an everlasting waste. 13 I will bring upon that land all the words that I have uttered against it, everything written ^vin this book, which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations. 14 ^wFor many nations ^xand great kings shall make slaves even of them, ^yand I will recompense them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”

The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath

15 Thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: ^z“Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16 They shall drink and stagger and be crazed because of ^aathe sword that I am sending among them.”

17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, ^aband made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: 18 ^acJerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, ^adto make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; 19 ^aePharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people, 20 and ^afall the mixed tribes among them; all the kings of ^agthe land of Uz and all the kings of ^ahthe land of the Philistines ( ^aiAshkelon, ^ajGaza, Ekron, and the remnant of ^akAshdod); 21 ^alEdom, ^amMoab, and the sons of ^anAmmon; 22 all the kings of ^aoTyre, all the kings of ^apSidon, and the kings of the coastland across ^aqthe sea; 23 ^arDedan, ^asTema, ^atBuz, and all who cut ^authe corners of their hair; 24 all the ^avkings of Arabia and all the kings of ^awthe mixed tribes who dwell in the desert; 25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of ^axElam, and all the kings of ^ayMedia; 26 all the kings of ^azthe north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth. And after them the king of ^baBabylon ^{▼▼Hebrew Sheshach, a code name for Babylon} shall drink.

Jeremiah 27:6-8

6 ^bcNow I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ^bdmy servant, ^beand I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him. 7 ^bfAll the nations shall serve him and ^bghis son and ^bhhis grandson, ^biuntil the time of his own land comes. ^bjThen many nations and great kings shall make him their slave.

8 “‘“But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, ^bkand put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation ^blwith the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, declares the Lord, until I have consumed it by his hand.

Ezekiel 29:18-20

18 ^bm“Son of man, ^bnNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was rubbed bare, yet neither he nor his army got anything from Tyre to pay for the labor that he had performed against her. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^boBehold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; ^bpand he shall carry off its wealth ^{▼▼Or multitude} ^brand despoil it and plunder it; and it shall be the wages for his army. 20 ^bsI have given him the land of Egypt as his payment for which he labored, because they worked for me, declares the Lord God.
