Jeremiah 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 (the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,) |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:2 |
|
which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the
people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:3 |
|
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of
Amon, king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word
of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising up early and
speaking; but ye have not hearkened. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:4 |
|
And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants
the prophets, rising up early and sending them, (but ye have not hearkened, nor
inclined your ear to hear,) |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:5 |
|
saying, Return ye now every one from his evil
way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath
given unto you and to your fathers, from of old and even for evermore; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:6 |
|
and go not after other gods to serve them, and
to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and
I will do you no hurt. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:7 |
|
Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah;
that ye may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:8 |
|
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because
ye have not heard my words, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:9 |
|
behold, I will send and take all the families
of the north, saith Jehovah, and I will send unto 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 I will utterly destroy
them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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 lamp. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:11 |
|
And this whole land shall be a desolation, and
an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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
Jehovah, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it
desolate for ever. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:14 |
|
For many nations and great kings shall make
bondmen of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds,
and according to the work of their hands. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:15 |
|
For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto
me: take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations,
to whom I send thee, to drink it. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:16 |
|
And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and
be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:17 |
|
Then took I the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made
all the nations to drink, unto whom Jehovah had sent me: |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:19 |
|
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and
his princes, and all his people; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:20 |
|
and all the mingled people, and all the kings
of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and
Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod; |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:21 |
|
Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:22 |
|
and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings
of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:23 |
|
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have
the corners of their hair cut off; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:24 |
|
and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings
of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:25 |
|
and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings
of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:27 |
|
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah
of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and
rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:28 |
|
And it shall be, if they refuse to take the
cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of
hosts: Ye shall surely drink. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:29 |
|
For, lo, I begin to work evil at 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 Jehovah
of hosts. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:30 |
|
Therefore prophesy thou against them all these
words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice
from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give
a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:31 |
|
A noise shall come even to the end of the earth;
for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with
all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, saith Jehovah. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:32 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, evil shall
go forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be raised up from the
uttermost parts of the earth. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:33 |
|
And the slain of Jehovah 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 face of
the ground. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:34 |
|
Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow in ashes,
ye principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions
are fully come, and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:35 |
|
And the shepherds shall have no way to flee,
nor the principal of the flock to escape. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:36 |
|
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the
wailing of the principal of the flock! for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture.
|
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:37 |
|
And the peaceable folds are brought to silence
because of the fierce anger of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:38 |
|
He hath left his covert, as the lion; for their
land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword,
and because of his fierce anger. |
