Seeker Overlay ON
*
Do not go after other gods to serve them and worship them ,
and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands ;
and I will not harm you .'
*
Yet you have not listened to Me ,"
says the LORD , "
that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt .
* "
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts : "
Because you have not heard My words ,
*
behold ,
I will send and take all the families of the north ,'
says the LORD , "
and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon ,
My servant ,
and will bring them against this land ,
against its inhabitants ,
and against these nations all around ,
and will utterly destroy them ,
and make them an astonishment ,
a 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 lamp .
*
And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment ,
and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years .
* "
Then it will come to pass ,
when seventy years are completed ,
that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation ,
the land of the Chaldeans ,
for their iniquity ,'
says the LORD ; "
and I will make it a perpetual desolation .
*
So I will bring on that land all My words which I have pronounced against it ,
all that is written in this book ,
which Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations .
* (
For many nations and great kings shall be served by them also ;
and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands .)"'
*
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 .
