Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 025
025:001
The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of
Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying
025:002
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
025:003
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
025:004
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
025:005
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
025:006
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
025:007
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not
heard my words
025:008
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
025:009
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
025:010
And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an
astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of
Babylon seventy years
025:011
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
025:012
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
025:013
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
025:014
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
025:015
And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the
sword that I will send among them
025:016
Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the
nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me
025:017
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
025:018
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and
all his people
025:019
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
025:020
Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon
025:021
And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and
the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea
025:022
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost
corners
025:023
And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled
people that dwell in the desert
025:024
And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all
the kings of the Medes
025:025
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
025:026
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
025:027
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
025:028
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
025:029
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
025:030
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
025:031
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
025:032
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
025:033
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
025:034
And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal
of the flock to escape
025:035
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
025:036
And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the
fierce anger of the LORD
025:037
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
