ASV_Strong : Jeremiah 25
1. The word[H1697] that came to Jeremiah[H3414] concerning all the people[H5971] of Judah[H3063], in the fourth[H7243] year[H8141] of Jehoiakim[H3079] the son[H1121] of Josiah[H2977], king[H4428] of Judah[H3063] (the same was the first[H7224] year[H8141] of Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] king[H4428] of Babylon[H894],)
2. which Jeremiah[H3414] the prophet[H5030] spake[H1696] unto all the people[H5971] of Judah[H3063], and to all the inhabitants[H3427] of Jerusalem[H3389], saying[H559]:
3. From the thirteenth[H7969] year[H8141] of Josiah[H2977] the son[H1121] of Amon[H526], king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], even unto this day[H3117], these three[H7969] and twenty[H6242] years[H8141], the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] hath come unto me[H1696], and I have spoken unto you[H7925], rising up early and speaking[H1696]; but ye have not hearkened[H8085].
4. And Jehovah[H3068] hath sent[H7971] unto you all his servants[H5650] the prophets[H5030], rising up early[H7925] and sending[H7971] them[H8085], (but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined[H5186] your ear[H241] to hear[H8085],)
5. saying[H559], Return[H7725] ye now every one[H376] from his evil[H7451] way[H1870], and from the evil[H7455] of your doings[H4611], and dwell[H3427] in the land[H127] that Jehovah[H3068] hath given[H5414] unto you and to your fathers[H1], from of old and even[H5769] for[H5704] evermore[H5769];
6. and go[H3212] not after[H310] other[H312] gods[H430] to serve[H5647] them[H7812], and to worship them[H3707], and provoke me not to anger with the work[H4639] of your hands[H3027]; and I will do you no hurt[H7489].
7. Yet ye have not hearkened[H8085] unto me[H5002], saith Jehovah[H3068]; that ye may provoke me to anger[H3707] with the work[H4639] of your hands[H3027] to your own hurt[H7451].
8. Therefore thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]: Because ye have not heard[H8085] my words[H1697],
9. behold[H7971], I will send and take[H3947] all the families[H4940] of the north[H6828], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], and I will send unto Nebuchadrezzar[H5019] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], my servant[H5650], and will bring[H935] them against this land[H776], and against the inhabitants[H3427] thereof[H1471], and against all these nations round about[H5439]; and I will utterly destroy[H2763] them[H7760], and make them an astonishment[H8047], and a hissing[H8322], and perpetual[H5769] desolations[H2723].
10. Moreover I will take[H6] from them the voice[H6963] of mirth[H8342] and the voice[H6963] of gladness[H8057], the voice[H6963] of the bridegroom[H2860] and the voice[H6963] of the bride[H3618], the sound[H6963] of the millstones[H7347], and the light[H216] of the lamp[H5216].
11. And this whole land[H776] shall be a desolation[H2723], and an astonishment[H8047]; and these nations[H1471] shall serve[H5647] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] seventy[H7657] years[H8141].
12. And it shall come to pass[H7657], when seventy years[H8141] are accomplished[H4390], that I will punish[H6485] the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894], and that nation[H1471], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], for their iniquity[H5771], and the land[H776] of the Chaldeans[H3778]; and I will make[H7760] it desolate[H8077] for ever[H5769].
13. And I will bring[H935] upon that land[H776] all my words[H1697] which I have pronounced[H1696] against it[H3789], even all that is written in this book[H5612], which Jeremiah[H3414] hath prophesied[H5012] against all the nations[H1471].
14. For many[H7227] nations[H1471] and great[H1419] kings[H4428] shall make bondmen[H5647] of them[H7999], even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds[H6467], and according to the work[H4639] of their hands[H3027].
15. For thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478], unto me[H3947]: take this cup[H3563] of the wine[H3196] of wrath[H2534] at my hand[H3027], and cause all the nations[H1471], to whom I send[H7971] thee[H8248], to drink it.
16. And they shall drink[H8354], and reel[H1607] to and fro[H1984], and be mad, because[H6440] of the sword[H2719] that I will send among them[H7971].
17. Then took[H3947] I the cup[H3563] at Jehovah[H3068]'s hand[H3027], and made all the nations[H1471] to drink[H8248], unto whom Jehovah[H3068] had sent me[H7971]:
18. to wit[H3389], Jerusalem, and the cities[H5892] of Judah[H3063], and the kings[H4428] thereof[H8269], and the princes thereof[H5414], to make them a desolation[H2723], an astonishment[H8047], a hissing[H8322], and a curse[H7045], as it is this day[H3117];
19. Pharaoh[H6547] king[H4428] of Egypt[H4714], and his servants[H5650], and his princes[H8269], and all his people[H5971];
20. and all the mingled[H6153] people[H4428], and all the kings of the land[H776] of the Uz[H5780], and all the kings[H4428] of the[H776] Philistines[H6430], and Ashkelon[H831], and Gaza[H5804], and Ekron[H6138], and the remnant[H7611] of Ashdod[H795];
21. Edom[H123], and Moab[H4124], and the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983];
22. and all the kings[H4428] of Tyre[H6865], and all the kings[H4428] of Sidon[H6721], and the kings[H4428] of the isle[H339] which is beyond[H5676] the sea[H3220];
23. Dedan[H1719], and Tema[H8485], and Buz[H938], and all that have the corners[H6285] of their hair cut off[H7112];
24. and all the kings[H4428] of Arabia[H6152], and all the kings[H4428] of the mingled people[H6153] that dwell[H7931] in the wilderness[H4057];
25. and all the kings[H4428] of Zimri[H2174], and all the kings[H4428] of Elam[H5867], and all the kings[H4428] of the Medes[H4074];
26. and all the kings[H4428] of the north[H6828], far[H7350] and near[H7138], one[H376] with another[H251]; and all the kingdoms[H4467] of the world[H776], which are upon the face[H6440] of the earth[H127]: and the king[H4428] of Sheshach[H8347] shall drink[H8354] after them[H310].
27. And thou shalt say[H559] unto them[H559], Thus saith Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478]: Drink[H8354] ye[H7937], and be drunken, and spew[H7006], and fall[H5307], and rise[H6965] no more[H6440], because of the sword[H2719] which I will send among you[H7971].
28. And it shall be[H3985], if they refuse to take[H3947] the cup[H3563] at thy hand[H3027] to drink[H8354], then shalt thou say[H559] unto them[H559], Thus saith Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]: Ye shall surely[H8354] drink[H8354].
29. For[H2490], lo, I begin to work evil[H7489] at the city[H5892] which is called[H7121] by my name[H8034]; and should ye be utterly[H5352] unpunished[H5352]? Ye shall not be unpunished[H5352]; for I will call[H7121] for a sword[H2719] upon all the inhabitants[H3427] of the earth[H776], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635].
30. Therefore prophesy[H5012] thou against them all these words[H1697], and say[H559] unto them[H3068], Jehovah will roar[H7580] from on high[H4791], and utter[H5414] his voice[H6963] from his holy[H6944] habitation[H4583]; he will mightily[H7580] roar[H7580] against his fold[H5116]; he will give[H6030] a shout[H1959], as they that tread[H1869] the grapes[H3427], against all the inhabitants of the earth[H776].
31. A noise[H7588] shall come[H935] even to the end[H7097] of the earth[H776]; for Jehovah[H3068] hath a controversy[H7379] with the nations[H1471]; he will enter into judgment[H8199] with all flesh[H1320]: as for the wicked[H7563], he will give[H5414] them to the sword[H2719], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068].
32. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635], Behold[H7451], evil shall go forth[H3318] from nation[H1471] to nation[H1471], and a great[H1419] tempest[H5591] shall be raised up[H5782] from the uttermost parts[H3411] of the earth[H776].
33. And the slain[H2491] of Jehovah[H3068] shall be at that day[H3117] from one end[H7097] of the earth[H776] even unto the other end[H7097] of the earth[H776]: they shall not be lamented[H5594], neither gathered[H622], nor buried[H6912]; they shall be dung[H1828] upon[H6440] the face of the ground[H127].
34. Wail[H3213], ye shepherds[H7462], and cry[H2199]; and wallow[H6428] in ashes[H117], ye principal of the flock[H6629]; for the days[H3117] of your slaughter[H2873] and of your dispersions[H8600] are fully come[H4390], and ye shall fall[H5307] like a goodly[H2532] vessel[H3627].
35. And the shepherds[H7462] shall have no way[H4498] to flee[H6], nor the principal[H117] of the flock[H6629] to escape[H6413].
36. A voice[H6963] of the cry[H6818] of the shepherds[H7462], and the wailing[H3215] of the principal[H117] of the flock[H6629]! for Jehovah[H3068] layeth waste[H7703] their pasture[H4830].
37. And the peaceable[H7965] folds[H4999] are brought to silence[H1826] because[H6440] of the fierce[H2740] anger[H639] of Jehovah[H3068].
38. He hath left[H5800] his covert[H5520], as the lion[H3715]; for their land[H776] is become an astonishment[H8047] because[H6440] of the fierceness[H2740] of the oppressing[H3238] sword[H6440], and because of his fierce[H2740] anger[H639].
