This
is
the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah ,
which
was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon .
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah ,
in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah ,
king of Judah (the
same
was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon ),
So
the prophet Jeremiah
spoke to all the people of Judah and all the residents
of Jerusalem as
follows
:
which
Jeremiah
the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah ,
and to
all the inhabitants
of Jerusalem ,
saying
:
“
From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until
this very
day —
twenty-three years —
the word of the
LORD
has come to me, and I have spoken to you again
and
again
, but you have not listened.
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the
son of Amon ,
king of Judah ,
even
to
this day ,
these
twenty-three years ,
the word of Yahweh
has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising
up
early
and
speaking;
but you have not listened.
And
the
LORD
has sent all His servants the prophets to
you
again
and again
, but you have not listened or
inclined your ear to hear .
Yahweh
has sent to
you
all his servants the prophets ,
rising
up
early
and sending
them
, (
but you have not listened ,
nor
inclined your ear to hear ),
The
prophets
told
you,
‘Turn
now
, each
of
you ,
from your
evil ways
and deeds
, and you
can
dwell in the land that the
LORD
has given to you and your fathers forever
and ever.
saying
, Return
you now
everyone
from his
evil way,
and from
the
evil
of
your
doings
, and dwell in the land that Yahweh
has given to you and to
your fathers ,
from
of
old
and even
forevermore;
Do
not
follow
other gods to serve and
worship them, and do
not
provoke Me to anger with the works
of your hands .
Then
I will do you no harm. ’
and
don't
go
after
other gods to serve them
or
worship them, and don't
provoke me to anger with the work
of your hands ;
and
I will do you no harm.
‘But
to
your
own
harm,
you have not listened to Me, ’
declares
the
LORD,
‘so
you have
provoked
Me to anger with the works
of your hands. ’
Yet
you have not listened to me, says
Yahweh;
that
you may
provoke
me to anger with the work
of your hands to
your
own
hurt
.
Therefore this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: ‘
Because you have not obeyed
My words,
Therefore thus
says
Yahweh
of Hosts: Because you have not heard
my words,
behold, I will summon
all the families of the north, declares
the
LORD
, and I will send for
My
servant
Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, whom
I
will bring against this land, against its
residents
, and against all the
surrounding
nations .
So
I will devote
them to
destruction
and make them an object
of
horror
and contempt
, an
everlasting
desolation
.
behold, I will send
and
take
all the families of the north, says
Yahweh
, and [
I will send ]
to
Nebuchadrezzar
the
king of Babylon, my
servant,
and
will bring them
against this land, and
against the
inhabitants
of
it
, and against all these
nations round
about;
and
I will utterly
destroy
them ,
and make them an astonishment,
and a
hissing
, and
perpetual
desolations
.
Moreover ,
I will banish
from them the sounds
of joy
and gladness, the voices
of the bride
and
bridegroom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
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 will
become
a desolate
wasteland
, and these nations will
serve the king of Babylon for
seventy years.
This whole land shall
be
a desolation
, and an
astonishment;
and
these nations shall
serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
But
when seventy years are complete
, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the
land
of
the
Chaldeans
, for their guilt
, declares
the LORD,
and I will make it an
everlasting
desolation
.
It
shall
happen,
when seventy years are accomplished
, that
I will punish the king of Babylon ,
and that nation, says
Yahweh
, for their iniquity
, and
the land
of
the
Chaldeans;
and I will make it desolate
forever
.
I will bring upon
that land all the
words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
I will bring on
that land all my
words which
I have pronounced against it, even
all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
For many nations and great kings will
enslave
them, and I will repay
them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands. ’”
For many nations and great kings shall
make
bondservants
of
them, even
of
them;
and I will recompense
them according to their deeds ,
and according to the work of their hands.
This
is
what
the
LORD
, the God of Israel, said
to me: “
Take from
My
hand
this cup of the wine of wrath, and make
all the nations to whom I send you drink from
it.
For
thus
says
Yahweh
, the God of Israel, to me: take this cup of the wine of wrath at
my
hand
, and cause
all the nations ,
to whom I send you ,
to
drink it.
And
they will
drink and stagger
and go
out
of
their
minds
, because of the sword that I will send among them. ”
They shall
drink ,
and reel
back
and forth
, and
be
mad,
because of the sword that I will send among them.
So
I
took the cup from
the
LORD’s
hand and made all the nations drink from
it
, each
one
to whom the
LORD
had sent me ,
Then
took I
the cup at
Yahweh's
hand ,
and made all the nations to
drink, to whom Yahweh
had sent me :
to make
them
a
ruin,
an
object
of
horror
and
contempt
and
cursing
, as
they
are
to
this
day—
Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its
kings and officials
;
[
to wit]
, Jerusalem ,
and the cities of Judah, and
the
kings of
it,
and the
princes
of
it,
to
make
them
a
desolation,
an
astonishment,
a
hissing,
and
a
curse,
as
it
is
this
day
;
Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials
, his leaders
, and all his people;
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
his servants
, and
his princes
, and all his people;
all the mixed tribes;
all the kings of Uz ;
all the kings of the Philistines :
Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
and
all the mixed people,
and
all the kings of the
land
of
the
Uz ,
and
all the kings of the Philistines ,
and
Ashkelon, and
Gaza, and
Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites
;
Edom, and
Moab, and the children
of
Ammon
;
all the kings of Tyre and Sidon ;
the kings of the coastlands
across
the sea;
and
all the kings of Tyre ,
and all
the
kings
of
Sidon ,
and
the kings of the isle
which
is
beyond
the sea;
Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who cut
the corners of their hair;
Dedan, and
Tema, and
Buz, and all who have
the corners [
of their hair ]
cut
off
;
all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed tribes
who dwell in the desert
;
and
all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people
who dwell in the wilderness
;
all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media
;
and
all the kings of Zimri, and
all
the
kings
of
Elam, and all
the
kings
of
the
Medes
;
all the kings of the north, both
near
and
far, one after
another —
all the kingdoms on the face
of the earth .
And after
all
of
them,
the king of Sheshach will
drink it
too
.
and
all the kings of the north, far and
near
, one with
another ;
and
all the kingdoms of
the
world,
which
are
on the surface
of the earth :
and the king of Sheshach shall
drink after
them
.
“Then
you are
to
tell them that
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the God of Israel ,
says
: ‘
Drink, get
drunk
, and vomit.
Fall down
and never
get
up
again
, because of the sword I will send among you. ’
You shall
tell them ,
Thus
says
Yahweh
of Hosts, the God of Israel: Drink you
, and
be
drunken
, and spew,
and
fall ,
and rise
no
more
, because of the sword which
I will send among you.
If they refuse to take the cup from
your hand and
drink it
, you are
to
tell them that
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: ‘
You most
certainly
must
drink it!
It
shall
be,
if they refuse to take the cup at
your hand to
drink, then
shall
you tell them ,
Thus
says
Yahweh
of Hosts: You shall
surely
drink .
For behold, I am
beginning
to bring
disaster
on
the city that
bears
My Name ,
so
how
could
you possibly
go
unpunished? You will
not go
unpunished ,
for I am
calling
down
a sword upon
all the inhabitants of the earth, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts. ’
For ,
behold, I begin
to work
evil
at
the city which
is
called
by
my name ;
and
should
you be
utterly
unpunished? You shall
not be
unpunished ;
for I will
call
for
a sword on
all the inhabitants of the earth, says
Yahweh
of Hosts.
So
you
are
to
prophesy all these words against
them
and say
to
them :
‘The
LORD
will roar from on high ;
He
will
raise
His voice from His holy habitation .
He will roar loudly
over
His pasture
; like
those who tread the grapes, He
will
call
out
with
a
shout
against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Therefore
prophesy you
against
them
all these words ,
and tell
them ,
Yahweh
will roar from on high ,
and
utter
his voice from his holy habitation ;
he will mightily
roar against
his fold
; he
will
give
a
shout,
as
those who tread [
the grapes ]
, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
The
tumult
will
resound
to the ends
of the earth because
the
LORD
brings
a charge
against
the nations .
He brings
judgment on
all mankind
and
puts
the wicked to the sword, ’”
declares
the
LORD
.
A
noise
shall
come
even
to the end
of the earth ;
for
Yahweh
has
a controversy
with
the nations ;
he will
enter
into
judgment with
all flesh:
as
for
the wicked ,
he
will
give
them
to the sword, says
Yahweh
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says:
“
Behold !
Disaster
is
spreading
from nation to nation ;
a mighty
storm
is
rising
from the ends
of the earth. ”
Thus
says
Yahweh
of hosts ,
Behold ,
evil
shall
go
forth
from nation to nation ,
and
a great
tempest
shall
be
raised
up
from the uttermost
parts
of the earth.
Those
slain
by
the LORD
on
that day will
be
spread
from one end of the earth to the other .
They will
not be mourned
, gathered, or
buried .
They will
be like
dung lying
on the ground.
The slain
of
Yahweh
shall
be
at
that day from one end of the earth even
to the other end
of
the
earth:
they shall
not be lamented
, neither
gathered, nor
buried ;
they shall
be dung on the surface
of
the
ground.
Wail, you shepherds, and cry out
; roll
in the
dust
, you leaders
of the flock .
For the days of your slaughter have
come ;
you will
fall and
be
shattered
like fine
pottery
.
Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and
wallow
[
in ashes]
, you principal
of the flock ;
for the days of your slaughter and
of
your
dispersions
are
fully
come ,
and
you shall
fall like a
goodly
vessel
.
Flight
will
evade
the shepherds, and
escape
will
elude
the leaders
of the flock.
The shepherds shall
have
no
way
to
flee
, nor
the principal
of the flock to
escape
.
Hear
the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders
of the flock ,
for the
LORD
is
destroying
their pasture.
A
voice
of
the cry of the shepherds, and
the wailing of the principal
of the flock !
for Yahweh
lays
waste
their pasture.
The peaceful
meadows
have
been
silenced
because of the LORD’s
burning
anger.
The peaceable
folds
are
brought
to
silence
because of the fierce
anger of
Yahweh
.
He has left His den
like
a
lion
, for their land has
been
made
a
desolation
by
the sword
of the oppressor
, and because of the
fierce anger of
the
LORD
.
He has left his covert
, as
the
lion;
for their land is
become
an
astonishment
because
of
the fierceness
of the oppressing
[sword]
, and because of his
fierce anger.
