Berean Standard Bible
The word that hath
been
unto
Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah ,
in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, --
it
`is'
the first year of Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon ,
--
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 .
Which
Jeremiah
the prophet hath
spoken
concerning
all the people of Judah ,
even
unto
all the inhabitants
of Jerusalem ,
saying
:
So
the prophet Jeremiah
spoke
to
all the people of Judah and
all the residents
of Jerusalem as
follows
:
`
From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah ,
and
unto
this day -
- this
three and
twentieth
year
--
hath
the word of Jehovah
been
unto
me, and I speak
unto
you ,
rising
early
and speaking
, and
ye
have not hearkened;
“
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.
And Jehovah
hath
sent unto
you
all His servants ,
the prophets ,
rising
early
and sending
, and
ye
have not hearkened,
nor
inclined your ear to hear ,
saying:
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 .
`
Turn back
, I
pray
you, each
from his
evil way,
and from
the
evil
of
your
doings
, and dwell on
the ground
that Jehovah
hath
given to you and to
your fathers from
age
unto
age,
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.
And
ye
do not go
after
other gods to serve them,
and to
bow
yourselves
to
them, nor
do ye
provoke Me to anger with the work
of your hands ,
and
I do no
evil
to
you ;
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
ye
have not hearkened
unto
Me --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
so as
to
provoke
Me to anger with the work
of your hands for
evil
to
you
.
‘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. ’
`
Therefore thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
Because that
ye
have not obeyed My words,
Therefore this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says:
‘
Because you
have not obeyed My words,
Lo
, I am
sending,
and
have
taken
all the families of the north --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
even
unto
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
, My servant, and
have
brought
them
in
against this land, and
against its inhabitants
, and against all these
nations round
about,
and
have
devoted
them ,
and appointed
them for
an astonishment,
and for
a
hissing
, and
for
wastes
age-during
.
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
.
And
I have
destroyed
from them the voice
of
rejoicing,
and
the
voice
of joy ,
voice
of
bridegroom
and voice
of bride, noise
of millstones, and the light of lamps
.
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
.
And all
this land hath
been
for
a waste,
for
an
astonishment
, and these nations have
served
the king of Babylon seventy years.
And this whole
land will
become
a desolate
wasteland
, and these nations will
serve
the king of Babylon for
seventy years.
`And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
at
the
fulness
of
seventy years, I charge
against
the king of Babylon ,
and against
that nation --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
their
iniquity
, and
against
the land of the Chaldeans, and have
appointed
it for
desolations
age-during
.
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
.
And
I have
brought
in
on
that land all My
words that
I have spoken
against it, all that is written in this book, that
Jeremiah hath
prophesied concerning
all the nations.
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.
For laid
service
on
them
--
also
them
--
have
many nations and great kings, and I have
given
recompence
to
them according to their doing,
and according to the work of their hands.
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
thus
said
Jehovah
God of Israel unto
me
, Take the
wine
cup of this
fury
out
of My
hand
, and thou
hast
caused
all the nations to drink
it
unto
whom I am
sending
thee;
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.
And they have
drunk,
and shaken
themselves
and shewn
themselves
foolish
, because of the sword that I am
sending
among them.
And they will
drink
and stagger
and go
out
of
their
minds
, because of the sword that I will
send
among them. ”
`And
I take
the cup out
of
the hand of
Jehovah,
and cause
all the nations to
drink unto
whom Jehovah
sent me :
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 ,
Jerusalem
, and the cities of Judah, And
its kings ,
its
heads,
To
give
them
to
waste,
to
astonishment,
To
hissing,
and to
reviling,
as
`at'
this
day.
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;
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
his servants
, And
his heads
, and all his people ,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials
, his leaders
, and all his people ;
And
all the mixed people,
And
all the kings of the
land
of
Uz ,
And
all the kings of the land
of
the
Philistines ,
And
Ashkelon, and
Gazzah
, and
Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod ,
all the mixed tribes;
all the kings of Uz ;
all the kings of the Philistines :
Ashkelon, Gaza
, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod ;
Edom, and
Moab, and the sons
of
Ammon,
Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
And
all the kings of Tyre ,
And all
the
kings
of
Zidon,
And
the kings of the isle
that
`is'
beyond
the sea ,
all the kings of Tyre and Sidon;
the kings of the coastlands
across
the sea ;
Dedan, and
Tema, and
Buz, And all cutting
the corners `
of the
beard',
Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who
cut
the corners of their
hair;
And
all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people,
Who are
dwelling
in the wilderness,
all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed tribes
who dwell
in the desert;
And
all the kings of Zimri, And
all
the
kings
of
Elam, And all
the
kings
of
Media ,
all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media ;
And
all the kings of the north, The
near and the
far off
, one unto
another ,
And
all the kingdoms of
the
earth,
That
`are'
on the face of the ground,
And king
Sheshach
drinketh
after them.
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
thou
hast
said
unto
them :
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts God of Israel, Drink ye
, yea
drink
abundantly
, And vomit ,
and
fall ,
and rise
not
, Because of the sword that
I am
sending
among you.
“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. ’
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
When
they refuse to receive
the cup out
of
thy
hand to
drink, That
thou
hast
said
unto
them :
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
Ye
do
certainly drink .
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!
For lo,
in
the
city
over
which
My
name
is
called
, I am beginning to do
evil
, And
ye
--
ye
are
entirely
acquitted!
Ye
are
not acquitted
, for a
sword
I am proclaiming,
For
all inhabitants of the land
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
of Hosts.
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. ’
And
thou,
thou
dost
prophesy unto
them
all these words ,
and hast
said
unto
them: Jehovah
from
the high
place
doth
roar ,
And
from His holy habitation giveth
forth
His
voice,
He surely
roareth
for
His habitation
, A shout as
of
treaders
down,
God
answereth
all the inhabitants of the land,
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.
Wasting
hath
come
unto
the end
of the earth ,
For
a controversy
hath
Jehovah
with
nations ,
He hath
executed
judgment for
all flesh,
The wicked !
He
hath
given
them
to the sword, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
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
.
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Lo,
evil
is going
out
from nation to nation ,
And
a great
whirlwind
is stirred
up
from the sides
of the earth.
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. ”
And
the pierced
of
Jehovah
have
been
in
that day ,
From the
end of the earth even
unto
the
end
of
the earth,
They are
not lamented
, nor
gathered, nor
buried ,
For
dung on the face
of
the
ground they
are
.
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.
Howl
, ye
shepherds, and cry ,
And
roll yourselves
, ye
honourable
of the flock ,
For full
have
been
your
days ,
For
slaughtering,
and
`for'
your scatterings,
And
ye
have fallen
as
a
desirable
vessel
.
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
.
And
perished
hath
refuge
from
the shepherds, And escape from
the honourable
of the flock.
Flight
will
evade
the shepherds, and escape will
elude
the leaders
of the flock.
A
voice
`is'
of
the cry of the shepherds, And
a
howling
of the honourable
of the flock, For Jehovah
is spoiling
their pasture.
Hear
the cry of the shepherds, the
wailing
of the leaders
of the flock, for the
LORD
is destroying
their pasture.
And
the peaceable
habitations
have been cut
down,
Because of the fierceness
of
the
anger of
Jehovah
.
The peaceful
meadows
have been silenced
because of the LORD’s
burning
anger.
He hath
forsaken,
as
a young
lion, His
covert,
Surely
their land hath
become
a desolation ,
Because
of the oppressing
fierceness
, And because of the fierceness
of
His
anger !
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.
