| 25:1 | The word that hath been unto Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, -- it `is' the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, -- |
| 25:2 | Which Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even unto all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: |
| 25:3 | `From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and unto this day -- this three and twentieth year -- hath the word of Jehovah been unto me, and I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened; |
| 25:4 | And Jehovah hath sent unto you all His servants, the prophets, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying: |
| 25:5 | `Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that Jehovah hath given to you and to your fathers from age unto age, |
| 25:6 | And ye do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do ye provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you; |
| 25:7 | And ye have not hearkened unto Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you. |
| 25:8 | `Therefore thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Because that ye have not obeyed My words, |
| 25:9 | Lo, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- even unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for wastes age-during. |
| 25:10 | And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps. |
| 25:11 | And all this land hath been for a waste, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years. |
| 25:12 | `And it hath come to pass, at the fulness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for desolations age-during. |
| 25:13 | And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, that Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning all the nations. |
| 25:14 | For laid service on them -- also them -- have many nations and great kings, and I have given recompence to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands. |
| 25:15 | `For thus said Jehovah God of Israel unto me, Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and thou hast caused all the nations to drink it unto whom I am sending thee; |
| 25:16 | And they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shewn themselves foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them. |
| 25:17 | `And I take the cup out of the hand of Jehovah, and cause all the nations to drink unto whom Jehovah sent me: |
| 25:18 | Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to waste, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as `at' this day. |
| 25:19 | Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people, |
| 25:20 | And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gazzah, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod, |
| 25:21 | Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, |
| 25:22 | And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Zidon, And the kings of the isle that `is' beyond the sea, |
| 25:23 | Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners `of the beard', |
| 25:24 | And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness, |
| 25:25 | And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media, |
| 25:26 | And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off, one unto another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That `are' on the face of the ground, And king Sheshach drinketh after them. |
| 25:27 | And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts God of Israel, Drink ye, yea drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and rise not, Because of the sword that I am sending among you. |
| 25:28 | And it hath come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of thy hand to drink, That thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do certainly drink. |
| 25:29 | For lo, in the city over which My name is called, I am beginning to do evil, And ye -- ye are entirely acquitted! Ye are not acquitted, for a sword I am proclaiming, For all inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. |
| 25:30 | And thou, thou dost prophesy unto them all these words, and hast said unto them: Jehovah from the high place doth roar, And from His holy habitation giveth forth His voice, He surely roareth for His habitation, A shout as of treaders down, God answereth all the inhabitants of the land, |
| 25:31 | Wasting hath come unto the end of the earth, For a controversy hath Jehovah with nations, He hath executed judgment for all flesh, The wicked! He hath given them to the sword, An affirmation of Jehovah. |
| 25:32 | Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth. |
| 25:33 | And the pierced of Jehovah have been in that day, From the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are. |
| 25:34 | Howl, ye shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, ye honourable of the flock, For full have been your days, For slaughtering, and `for' your scatterings, And ye have fallen as a desirable vessel. |
| 25:35 | And perished hath refuge from the shepherds, And escape from the honourable of the flock. |
| 25:36 | A voice `is' of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the honourable of the flock, For Jehovah is spoiling their pasture. |
| 25:37 | And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah. |
| 25:38 | He hath forsaken, as a young lion, His covert, Surely their land hath become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger! |
| 25:1 | The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; |
| 25:2 | The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, |
| 25:3 | From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. |
| 25:4 | And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. |
| 25:5 | They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever: |
| 25:6 | And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. |
| 25:7 | Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. |
| 25:8 | Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, |
| 25:9 | Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. |
| 25:10 | Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. |
| 25:11 | And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. |
| 25:12 | And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. |
| 25:13 | And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. |
| 25:14 | For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands. |
| 25:15 | For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. |
| 25:16 | And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. |
| 25:17 | Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: |
| 25:18 | To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; |
| 25:19 | Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; |
| 25:20 | And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, |
| 25:21 | Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, |
| 25:22 | And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, |
| 25:23 | Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, |
| 25:24 | And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, |
| 25:25 | And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, |
| 25:26 | And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. |
| 25:27 | Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. |
| 25:28 | And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink. |
| 25:29 | For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts. |
| 25:30 | Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. |
| 25:31 | A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. |
| 25:32 | Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. |
| 25:33 | And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. |
| 25:34 | Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. |
| 25:35 | And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. |
| 25:36 | A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture. |
| 25:37 | And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. |
| 25:38 | He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. |
| 25:1 | The word that was to concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah. It was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. |
| 25:2 | This the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the residents of Jerusalem, saying, |
| 25:3 | From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, this twenty three years, the word of Jehovah has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened. |
| 25:4 | And Jehovah has sent to you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending, but you have not listened nor bowed your ear to hear, |
| 25:5 | saying, Now turn each one from his evil way and from the evil of your doings, and live on the land which Jehovah has given to you and to your fathers from forever even to forever. |
| 25:6 | And do not go after other gods to serve them and to worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no harm. |
| 25:7 | Yet you have not listened to Me, says Jehovah, so that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands, for harm to you. |
| 25:8 | So Jehovah of hosts says this: Because you have not obeyed My words, |
| 25:9 | behold! I will send and take all the families of the north, says Jehovah, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant; and I will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations all around. And I will completely destroy them, and make them a horror, and a hissing, and everlasting ruins. |
| 25:10 | And I will take from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp. |
| 25:11 | And this whole land shall be a waste and a horror; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. |
| 25:12 | And it shall be, when seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, and the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, says Jehovah; and I will make it everlasting ruins. |
| 25:13 | And I will bring on that land all My words which I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book which has prophesied against all the nations. |
| 25:14 | For many nations and great kings will lay service on them, even they. And I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their own hands. |
| 25:15 | For so says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to me. Take the wine cup of this wrath from My hand and cause all the nations to whom I shall send you to drink it. |
| 25:16 | And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be maddened, because of the sword that I will send among them. |
| 25:17 | Then I took the cup from Jehovah's hand and made all the nations drink, those to whom Jehovah had sent me: |
| 25:18 | Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and their kings, and their rulers, to make them a ruin, a horror, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; |
| 25:19 | Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his servants, and his rulers, and all his people; |
| 25:20 | and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Askelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, |
| 25:21 | Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, |
| 25:22 | and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the coastal kings beyond the sea, |
| 25:23 | Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who cut the corners of their beards , |
| 25:24 | and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the desert, |
| 25:25 | and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media, |
| 25:26 | and all the kings of the north, far and near, each one to his brother, and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. |
| 25:27 | So you shall say to them, So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunk, and vomit, and fall, and do not rise up, because of the sword which I will send among you. |
| 25:28 | And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, So says Jehovah of Hosts, You shall certainly drink. |
| 25:29 | For, behold, I begin to bring evil on the city on which is called My name, and shall you be found entirely without guilt? You shall not be without guilt. For I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Jehovah of Hosts. |
| 25:30 | And now you prophesy against them all these words, and say to them, Jehovah shall roar from on high and utter His voice from His holy habitation; He shall mightily roar over His dwelling place. He answers with a shout, like those who tread out the grapes , against all the inhabitants of the earth. |
| 25:31 | A roaring will go to the ends of the earth, for Jehovah has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh; He will give the wicked to the sword, says Jehovah. |
| 25:32 | So says Jehovah of Hosts, Behold, evil is going from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be stirred up from the corners of the earth. |
| 25:33 | And the slain of Jehovah shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be mourned, nor gathered, nor buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth. |
| 25:34 | Howl, O shepherds, and cry, and roll, O leaders of the flock! For the days of your slaughter and of your scatterings are fulfilled, and you shall fall like a desirable vessel. |
| 25:35 | And refuge has perished from the shepherds, and escape from the leaders of the flock. |
| 25:36 | The sound of the cry of the shepherds, and the howling from the leaders of the flock will be heard . For Jehovah is spoiling their pasture. |
| 25:37 | And the peaceful folds are devastated, because of the glow of the anger of Jehovah. |
| 25:38 | Like the young lion, He has left His den; for their land is a waste because of the glow of the oppressor, and because of His glowing anger |
