Jeremiah:25:15-38
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For thus says the LORD God of Israel to me : "
Take this wine cup of fury from My hand ,
and cause all the nations ,
to whom I send you ,
to drink it .
*
And they will drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them ."
*
Then I took the cup from the LORD '
s hand ,
and made all the nations drink ,
to whom the LORD had sent me :
*
Jerusalem and the cities of Judah ,
its kings and its princes ,
to make them a desolation ,
an astonishment ,
a hissing ,
and a curse ,
as it is this day ;
*
Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
his servants ,
his princes ,
and all his people ;
*
all the mixed multitude ,
all the kings of the land of Uz ,
all the kings of the land of the Philistines (
namely ,
Ashkelon ,
Gaza ,
Ekron ,
and the remnant of Ashdod );
*
Edom ,
Moab ,
and the people of Ammon ;
*
all the kings of Tyre ,
all the kings of Sidon ,
and the kings of the coastlands which are across the sea ;
*
Dedan ,
Tema ,
Buz ,
and all who are in the farthest corners ;
*
all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the mixed multitude who dwell in the desert ;
*
all the kings of Zimri ,
all the kings of Elam ,
and all the kings of the Medes ;
*
all the kings of the north ,
far and near ,
one with another ;
and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth .
Also the king of Sheshach shall drink after them .
* "
Therefore you shall say to them , "
Thus says the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel : "
Drink ,
be drunk ,
and vomit !
Fall and rise no more ,
because of the sword which I will send among you ."'
*
And it shall be ,
if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink ,
then you shall say to them , "
Thus says the LORD of hosts : "
You shall certainly drink !
*
For behold ,
I begin to bring calamity on the city which is called by My name ,
and should you be utterly unpunished ?
You shall not be unpunished ,
for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth ,"
says the LORD of hosts .'
* "
Therefore prophesy against them all these words ,
and say to them : "
The LORD will roar from on high ,
And utter His voice from His holy habitation ;
He will roar mightily against His fold .
He will give a shout ,
as those who tread the grapes ,
Against all the inhabitants of the earth .
*
A noise will come to the ends of the earth --
For the LORD has a controversy with the nations ;
He will plead His case with all flesh .
He will give those who are wicked to the sword ,'
says the LORD ."
*
Thus says the LORD of hosts : "
Behold ,
disaster shall go forth From nation to nation ,
And a great whirlwind shall be raised up From the farthest parts of the earth .
* "
And at that day the slain of the LORD shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth .
They shall not be lamented ,
or gathered ,
or buried ;
they shall become refuse on the ground .
* "
Wail ,
shepherds ,
and cry !
Roll about in the ashes ,
You leaders of the flock !
For the days of your slaughter and your dispersions are fulfilled ;
You shall fall like a precious vessel .
*
And the shepherds will have no way to flee ,
Nor the leaders of the flock to escape .
*
A voice of the cry of the shepherds ,
And a wailing of the leaders to the flock will be heard .
For the LORD has plundered their pasture ,
*
And the peaceful dwellings are cut down Because of the fierce anger of the LORD .
*
He has left His lair like the lion ;
For their land is desolate Because of the fierceness of the Oppressor ,
And because of His fierce anger ."
