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, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:2 |
|
The 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, 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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 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: |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:8 |
|
Therefore thus saith the LORD 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 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. |
|
|
|
| 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 candle. |
|
|
|
| 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
the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it
perpetual desolations. |
|
|
|
| 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 serve
themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds,
and according to the works of their own hands. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:16 |
|
And they shall drink, and be moved, and be
mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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: |
|
|
|
| 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, an 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 Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon,
and Azzah, 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 Tyrus, and all the kings
of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:23 |
|
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in
the utmost corners, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:24 |
|
And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings
of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, |
|
|
|
|
| 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 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
|
|
|
|
| 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 an
howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled
their pasture. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 25:37 |
|
And the peaceable habitations are cut down
because of the fierce anger of the LORD. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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. |
