Jeremiah:25:15-38
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For thus hath Jehovah ,
the God of Israel ,
said to me :
Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand ;
and let all the nations to which I shall send thee drink of it .
*
Let them drink ,
and stagger ,
and become mad because of the sword which I am about to send among them .
*
So I took the cup from the hand of Jehovah ,
and gave it to all the nations to drink ,
to which Jehovah sent me ;
*
to Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah ,
and to the kings thereof ,
and the princes thereof ,
to make them a desolation ,
and an astonishment ,
and a hissing ,
and a curse ;
*
To Pharaoh ,
king of Egypt ,
and to his servants ,
and to his princes ,
and to all his people ,
*
and all the allied people ;
and to all the kings of the land of Uz ,
and to all the kings of the land of the Philistines ,
and to Askelon ,
and to Gaza ,
and to Ekron ,
and to the remnant of Ashdod ;
*
to Edom ,
and to Moab ,
and to the children of Ammon ;
*
and to all the kings of Tyre ,
and to all the kings of Sidon ,
and to the kings of the lands which are beyond the sea ;
*
to Dedan ,
and to Tema ,
and to Buz ,
and to all that shave the cheek ;
*
and to all the kings of Arabia ,
and to all the kings of the allied people who dwell in the desert ;
*
and to all the kings of Zimri ,
and to all the kings of Elam ,
and to all the kings of Media ;
*
and to all the kings of the North ,
those that are near ,
and those that are afar off with respect to each other ,
and to all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the ground ;
and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them .
*
And say to them ,
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts ,
the God of Israel :
Drink ye and be drunken ,
and vomit ,
and fall to rise no more because of the sword which I am about to send among you .
*
And if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink ,
then say to them ,
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts :
Ye shall surely drink !
*
For behold ,
upon the city which is called by my name I begin to bring evil ;
and shall ye go wholly unpunished ?
Ye shall not go unpunished ;
for I am about to call the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth ,
saith Jehovah of hosts .
*
Therefore ,
prophesy against them all these words ,
and say to them :
Jehovah shall roar from on high ,
From his holy habitation shall he utter his voice ;
He shall roar aloud against his dwelling
place ;
A shout like that of vintagers shall he raise Against all the inhabitants of the earth .
*
An outcry shall reach to the ends of the earth ;
For Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations ;
He entereth into judgment with all flesh ;
The wicked will he give up to the sword ,
saith Jehovah .
*
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts :
Behold ,
evil shall go forth from nation to nation ,
And a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the extremities of the earth .
*
At that day shall the slain of Jehovah lie From one end of the earth to the other end of the earth ;
They shall not be lamented ,
nor gathered ,
nor buried ;
They shall be dung upon the ground .
*
Howl ,
O ye shepherds ,
and cry !
Roll yourselves in the dust ,
ye leaders of the flock ,
For your time to be slaughtered has come !
And I will scatter you ,
and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel .
*
The shepherds shall have no way to flee ,
Nor the leaders of the flock to escape .
*
the voice of the cry of the shepherds ,
And the wailing of the leaders of the flock ,
Because Jehovah layeth waste their pasture !
*
Yea ,
the peaceful pastures are destroyed Because of the fierce anger of Jehovah .
*
He hath left ,
like a lion ,
his covert ;
For their land is become desolate ,
Because of the wrath of the destroying sword ,
And because of the fierceness of his anger .
