1 This is the word that came to Jeremiahconcerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim25:1 2Kg 23:34–24:6; 2Ch 36:4–8; Jr 36:1son of Josiah, king of Judah (which was the first year of King Nebuchadnezzarof Babylon). 2 The prophet Jeremiahspoke concerning all the people of Judah and all the residents of Jerusalemas follows: 3 "From the thirteenth year of Josiahson of Amon, 25:3 Jr 1:2king of Judah, until this very day — twenty-three years — the word of the Lordhas come to me, and I have spoken to you time and time again, 25:3 Lit you; rising early and speaking,25:3 2Ch 36:15; Jr 7:13,25; 11:7; 25:3; 26:5; 29:19; 32:33; 35:14,15; 44:4but you have not obeyed. 4 The Lordsent all his servants the prophets to you time and time again, 25:4 Lit to you, rising early and sendingbut you have not obeyed or even paid attention. 25:4 Lit even inclined your ear to hear,25:4 Jr 7:25–265 He announced, ‘Turn, each of you, from your evil way of life and from your evil deeds. 25:5 2Kg 17:13; Jr 4:18; 18:11; 35:15; Zch 1:4; Ac 3:26Live in the land the Lordgave to you and your ancestors long ago and forever. 25:5 Jr 35:15; 40:9; Ezk 36:28; 37:256 Do not follow other gods to serve them and to bow in worship to them, 25:6 Dt 8:19; Jr 13:10and do not anger me by the work of your hands. 25:6 Dt 31:29; 1Kg 16:7; Jr 44:8Then I will do you no harm.
7 " ‘But you have not obeyed me’ — this is the Lord’s declaration — ‘with the result that you have angered me by the work of your hands and brought disaster on yourselves.’
8 "Therefore, this is what the Lordof Armies says: ‘Because you have not obeyed my words, 9 I am going to send for all the families of the north’ 25:9 Jr 1:13; 16:16; 43:10— this is the Lord’s declaration — ‘and send for my servant 25:9 Is 45:1Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylon, and I will bring them against this land, against its residents, and against all these surrounding nations, and I will completely destroy them and make them an example of horror 25:9 Jr 4:7; 18:16; 19:8and scorn, and ruins forever. 25:9 Dt 28:37; 2Ch 29:8; 30:7; Jr 5:30; 19:8; 25:18; 29:18; 42:18; 44:12,22; 49:17; 50:13; Mc 6:16; Zph 2:1510 I will eliminate the sound of joy and gladness from them — the voice of the groom and the bride, 25:10 Jr 7:34; 16:9; 33:11the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp. 11 This whole land will become a desolate ruin, and these nations will serve the king of Babylonfor seventy years. 25:11 2Ch 36:21; Is 23:15; Jr 29:10; Dn 9:2; Zch 1:12; 7:512 When the seventy years are completed, I will punish the king of Babylonand that nation’ — this is the Lord’s declaration — ‘the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, and I will make it a ruin forever. 25:12 Is 13:1913 I will bring on that land all my words I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book that Jeremiahprophesied against all the nations. 14 For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.’ " 25:14 Ps 28:4; Pr 24:12,29; Jr 50:29; Lm 3:64
The Cup of God’s Wrath
15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand and make all the nations to whom I am sending you drink from it. 25:15 Jb 21:20; Ps 75:8; Is 51:17; 63:6; Jr 49:12; Rv 14:8,10; 18:316 They will drink, stagger, 25:16 Or vomitand go out of their minds because of the sword I am sending among them." 25:16 Jr 9:16; 24:10; 29:17; 49:37
17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom the Lordsent me drink from it.
18 Jerusalemand the other cities of Judah, its kings and its officials, to make them a desolate ruin, an example for scorn and cursing — as it is today;
19 Pharaohking of Egypt, his officers, his leaders, all his people,
20 and all the mixed peoples;
all the kings of the land of Uz;
all the kings of the land of the Philistines — Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 all the kings of Tyre,
all the kings of Sidon,
and the kings of the coasts and islands;
23 Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who clip the hair on their temples; 25:23 Or who live in distant places,25:23 Lv 19:27; Jr 9:26; 49:32
24 all the kings of Arabia,
and all the kings of the mixed peoples who have settled in the desert;
25 all the kings of Zimri,
all the kings of Elam,
and all the kings of Media;
26 all the kings of the north, both near and far from one another;
that is, all the kingdoms of the world throughout the earth.
Finally, the king of Sheshak25:26 = Babylon,25:26 Jr 51:41will drink after them.
27 "Then you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lordof Armies, the God of Israel, says: Drink, 25:27 Jr 25:16; Hab 2:16get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, as a result of the sword I am sending among you.’ 28 If 25:28 Or Whenthey refuse to accept the cup from your hand and drink, you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lordof Armies says: You must drink! 29 For I am already bringing disaster 25:29 2Sm 12:11; 1Kg 14:10; 21:21; 2Kg 22:16; 2Ch 34:24; Is 13:11; 31:2; Jr 4:6; 6:19; 11:23; 21:10; 23:12; 44:11; 45:5on the city that bears my name, 25:29 Dn 9:18so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth. This is the declaration of the Lordof Armies.’ 25:28–29 Jr 49:12–13
Judgment on the Whole World
30 "As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them:
The Lordroars from on high;
he makes his voice heard from his holy dwelling. 25:30 Dt 26:15; 2Ch 30:27; Jb 37:4; Ps 76:2; Hs 11:10; Jl 3:16; Am 1:2; 3:8
He roars loudly over his grazing land;
he calls out with a shout, like those who tread grapes,
against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 The tumult reaches to the ends of the earth
because the Lordbrings a case against 25:31 Jb 11:5; Jr 2:9; Hs 4:1; 12:3; Mc 6:2the nations.
He enters into judgment with all humanity. 25:31 Is 66:16
As for the wicked, he hands them over to the sword —
this is the Lord’s declaration.
32 "This is what the Lordof Armies says:
Pay attention! Disaster spreads
from nation to nation.
A huge storm is stirred up
from the ends of the earth." 25:32 Jr 23:19; 30:23
33 Those slain by the Lord25:33 Is 66:16on that day will be scattered from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, 25:33 Jr 16:4gathered, or buried. They will be like manure on the soil’s surface.
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry out.
Roll in the dust, 25:34 Jb 2:8,12; Jr 6:26; Ezk 27:30you leaders of the flock.
Because the days of your slaughter have come, 25:34 Jr 7:32; 19:6
you will fall and become shattered like a precious vase.
35 Flight will be impossible for the shepherds,
and escape, for the leaders of the flock.
36 Hear the sound of the shepherds’ cry,
the wail of the leaders of the flock,
for the Lordis destroying their pasture.
37 Peaceful grazing land will become lifeless
because of the Lord’s burning anger. 25:37 Nm 32:14; 2Ch 28:11; Zph 2:2
38 He has left his den like a lion,
for their land has become a desolation
because of the sword 25:38 Some Hb mss, LXX, Tg; other Hb mss read burningof the oppressor, 25:38 Jr 46:16
because of his burning anger.
