chapter 25
1
The
word that came to Jeremias concerning all the people of Juda, in the fourth
year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, (the same is the first year of
Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon,)
2 Which Jeremias the prophet spoke to all the people of
Juda, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3 From the thirteenth year of Josias the son of Ammon
king of Juda until this day: this is the three and twentieth year, the word of
the Lord hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising before day, and
speaking, and you have not hearkened.
4 And the Lord hath sent to you all his servants the
prophets, rising early, and sending, and you have not hearkened, nor inclined
your ears to hear.
5 When he said: Return ye, every one from his evil way,
and from your wicked devices, and you shall dwell in the land which the Lord
hath given to you, and your fathers for ever and ever.
6 And go not after strange gods to serve them, and
adore them: nor provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands, and I will not
afflict you.
7 And you have not heard me, saith the Lord, that you
might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own hurt.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Because you
have not heard my words:
9 Behold I will send, and take all the kindreds of the
north, saith the Lord, and Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I
will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and
against all the nations that are round about it: and I will destroy them, and
make them an astonishment and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 And I will take away 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 mill, and the light of the lamp.
11 And all this land shall be a desolation, and an
astonishment: and all these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy
years.
12 And when the seventy years shall be expired, I will
punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their
iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans: and I will make it perpetual
desolations.
13 And I will bring upon the land all my words, that I
have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, all that Jeremias
hath prophesied against all nations:
14 For they have served them, whereas they were many
nations, and great kings: and I will repay them according to their deeds, and
according to the works of their hands.
15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel:
Take the cup of wine of this fury at my hand: and thou shalt make all nations
to drink thereof, unto which I shall send thee.
16 And they shall drink, and be troubled, and be mad
because of the sword, which I shall send among them.
17 And I took the cup at the hand of the Lord, and I
presented it to all the nations to drink of it, to which the Lord sent me:
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the
kings thereof, and the princes thereof: to make them a desolation, and an
astonishment, and a hissing, and a curse, as it is at this day.
19 Pharao the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his
princes, and all his people,
20 And all in general: all the kings of the land of
Ausitis, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and
Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus.
21 And Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon.
22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of
Sidon: and the kings of the land of the islands that are beyond the sea.
23 And Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all that have
their hair cut round.
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of
the west, that dwell in the desert.
25 And all the kings of Zambri, and all the kings of
Elam, and all the kings of Medes:
26 And all the kings of the north far and near, every
one against his brother: and all the kingdoms of the earth, which are upon the
face thereof: and the king of Sesac shall drink after them.
27 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of
hosts the God of Israel: Dring ye, and be drunken, and vomit: and fall, and
rise no more, because of the sword, which I shall send among you.
28 And if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to
drink, thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Drinking you shall
drink:
29 For behold I begin to bring evil on the city wherein
my name is called upon: and shall you be as innocent and escape free? you shall
not escape free: for I will call for the sword upon all the inhabitants of the
earth, saith the Lord of hosts.
30 And thou shalt prophesy unto them all these words,
and thou shalt say to them: The Lord shall roar from on high, and shall utter
his voice from his holy habitation: roaring he shall roar upon the place of his
beauty: the shout as it were of them that tread grapes shall be given out
against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 The noise is come even to the ends of the earth: for
the Lord entereth into judgement with the nations: he entereth into judgement with
all flesh; the wicked I have delivered up to the sword, saith the Lord.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold evil shall go
forth from nation to nation: and a great whirlwind shall go forth from the ends
of the earth.
33 And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from
one end of the earth even to the other end thereof: they shall not be lamented,
and they shall not be gathered up, nor buried: they shall lie as dung upon the
face of the earth.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry: and sprinkle yourselves
with ashes, ye leaders of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and your
dispersion are accomplished, and you shall fall like precious vessels.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the
leaders of the flock to save themselves.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling
of the principal of the flock: because the Lord hath watsed their pastures.
37 And the fields of peace have been silent, because of
the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He has forsaken his covert as the lion, for the land
is laid waste because of the wrath of the dove, and because of the fierce anger
of the Lord.
