Jeremiah:25:9-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And this whole land shall be a desolation ,
and an astonishment ;
and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And they shall drink ,
and be moved ,
and be mad ,
because of the sword that I will send among them .
*
Then took I the cup at the LORD '
S hand ,
and made all the nations to drink ,
unto whom the LORD had sent me :
*
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 ;
*
Pharaoh king of Egypt ,
and his servants ,
and his princes ,
and all his people ;
*
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 ,
*
Edom ,
and Moab ,
and the children of Ammon ,
