The wordh1697 that cameh1961 to Jeremiahh3414 concerningh5921 allh3605 the peopleh5971a of Judahh3063, in the  afourthh7243 yearh8141 of  bJehoiakimh3079 the sonh1121 of Josiahh2977, kingh4428 of Judahh3063 (that was the  cfirsth7224 yearh8141 of Nebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894),

2

whichh834 Jeremiahh3414 the propheth5030 spokeh1696 to allh3605 the  apeopleh5971a of Judahh3063 and to allh3605 the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389, sayingh559,

3

"From the  athirteenthh7969h6240 yearh8141 of  bJosiahh2977 the sonh1121 of Amonh526, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, even to thish2088 dayh3117,  1theseh2088  ctwenty-threeh6242h7969 yearsh8141 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 has comeh1961 to me, and I have spokenh1696 to you  2 dagainh7925 and againh1696, but you have not listenedh8085.

4

"And the LORDh3068 has senth7971 to you allh3605 His  aservantsh5650 the prophetsh5030  1againh7925 and againh7971, but you have not listenedh8085 norh3808 inclinedh5186 your earh241 to hearh8085,

5

sayingh559, ` aTurnh7725 nowh4994 everyoneh376 from his evilh7451a wayh1870 and from the evilh7455 of your deedsh4611, and dwellh3427 on the landh127 whichh834 the LORDh3068 has givenh5414 to you and your forefathersh1  bforeverh4480h5769 and everh5769;

6

and  ado not goh1980 afterh310 otherh312 godsh430 to  1serveh5647 them and to  2worshiph7812 them, and do not provokeh3707 Me to angerh3707 with the workh4639 of your handsh3027, and I will doh7489a you noh3808 harmh7489a.'

7

"Yet you have not listenedh8085 to Me," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "in orderh4616 that you might  aprovokeh3707 Me to angerh3707 with the workh4639 of your handsh3027 to your own harmh7451b.

8

"Thereforeh3651 thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, `Becauseh3282h834 you have not obeyedh8085 My wordsh1697,

9

beholdh2009, I will  asendh7971 and takeh3947 allh3605 the familiesh4940 of the northh6828,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `and I will send to Nebuchadnezzarh5019 kingh4428 of Babylonh894,  bMy servanth5650, and will bringh935 them againsth5921 thish384 landh776 and againsth5921 its inhabitantsh3427 and againsth5921 allh3605 theseh428 nationsh1471 roundh5439 abouth5439; and I will  1utterlyh2763a destroyh2763a them and  cmakeh7760 them a horrorh8047 and a hissingh8322, and an everlastingh5769 desolationh2723.

10

`Moreover, I will  1 atakeh6 from them the voiceh6963 of joyh8342 and the voiceh6963 of gladnessh8057, the voiceh6963 of the bridegroomh2860a and the voiceh6963 of the brideh3618, the  bsoundh6963 of the millstonesh7347 and the lighth216 of the lamph5216.

11

aThish2088 wholeh3605 landh776 will be a desolationh2723 and a horrorh8047, and theseh428 nationsh1471 will serveh5647 the kingh4428 of Babylonh894  bseventyh7657 yearsh8141.

Babylon Will Be Judged

12

`Then it will be  awhen seventyh7657 yearsh8141 are completedh4390 I will  bpunishh6485 the kingh4428 of Babylonh894 and that nationh1471,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `for their iniquityh5771, and the landh776 of the Chaldeansh3778; and  cI will makeh7760 it an everlastingh5769 desolationh8077.

13

`I will bringh935 upon that landh776 allh3605 My wordsh1697 whichh834 I have pronouncedh1696 againsth5921 it, allh3605 that is writtenh3789 in  athish2088 bookh5612 whichh834 Jeremiahh3414 has prophesiedh5012 againsth5921  ballh3605 the nationsh1471.

14

`( 1For  amanyh7227a nationsh1471 and greath1419 kingsh4428 will makeh5647 slavesh5647 of them, evenh1571 them; and I will  brecompenseh7999a them according to their deedsh6467 and according to the workh4639 of their handsh3027.)' "

15

For thush3541 the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, saysh559 to me, "Takeh3947 thish384  acuph3563a of the wineh3196 of wrathh2534 from My handh3027 and cause allh3605 the nationsh1471 to whomh834 I sendh7971 you to drinkh8248 it.

16

"They will  adrinkh8354 and staggerh1607 and goh1984b madh1984b becauseh4480h6440 of the swordh2719 that I will sendh7971 amongh996 them."

17

Then I tookh3947 the cuph3563a from the LORD'Sh3068 handh3027 and  amade allh3605 the nationsh1471 to whomh834 the LORDh3068 senth7971 me drinkh8248 it:

18

 aJerusalemh3389 and the citiesh5892b of Judahh3063 and its kingsh4428 and its princesh8269, to makeh5414 them a ruinh2723, a horrorh8047, a hissingh8322 and a curseh7045, as it is thish2088 dayh3117;

19

 aPharaohh6547 kingh4428 of Egypth4714, his servantsh5650, his princesh8269 and allh3605 his peopleh5971a;

20

and allh3605 the kingsh4428 of  aTyreh6865, allh3605 the kingsh4428 of Sidonh6721 and the kingsh4428 of  bthe coastlandsh339 whichh834 are beyondh5676 the seah3220;

23

and  aDedanh1719, Temah8485,  bBuzh938 and allh3605 who  ccuth7112 the cornersh6285 of their hair;

24

and allh3605 the kingsh4428 of  aArabiah6152a and allh3605 the kingsh4428 of the  1 bforeignh6154a peopleh6154a who dwellh7931 in the deserth4057b;

25

and allh3605 the kingsh4428 of Zimrih2174b, allh3605 the kingsh4428 of  aElamh5867a and allh3605 the kingsh4428 of  bMediah4074;

26

and allh3605 the kingsh4428 of the northh6828, nearh7138 and farh7350, oneh376 with anotherh251; and  aallh3605 the kingdomsh4467 of the earthh776 whichh834 are upon the faceh6440 of the groundh127, and the kingh4428 of  1 bSheshachh8347 shall drinkh8354 afterh310 them.

27

"You shall sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, " aDrinkh8354, be drunkh7937, vomith7006c, fallh5307 and riseh6965 noh3808 more becauseh4480h6440 of the  bswordh2719 whichh834 I will sendh7971 amongh996 you."'

28

"And it will be, ifh3588 they  arefuseh3985 to takeh3947 the cuph3563a from your handh3027 to drinkh8354, then you will sayh559 to them, `Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635: " bYou shall surelyh8354 drinkh8354!

29

"For beholdh2009, I am  abeginningh2490c to workh7489a calamityh7489a in this cityh5892b whichh834 is  bcalledh7121 by My nameh8034, and shall you be completelyh5352 freeh5352 from punishmenth5352? You will not be freeh5352 from punishmenth5352; for  cI am summoningh7121 a swordh2719 againsth5921 allh3605 the inhabitantsh3427 of the earthh776," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.'

30

"Therefore you shall prophesyh5012 againsth413 them allh3605 theseh428 wordsh1697, and you shall sayh559 to them, `The  aLORDh3068 will  broarh7580 from on highh4791 And utterh5414 His voiceh6963 from His holyh6944 habitationh4583; He will roarh7580 mightilyh7580 againsth5921 His  1foldh5116a. He will shouth1959 like those who treadh1869 the grapes, Againsth413 allh3605 the inhabitantsh3427 of the earthh776.

31

`A clamorh7588 has comeh935 to the endh7097a of the earthh776, Becauseh3588 the LORDh3068 has  aa controversyh7379 with the nationsh1471. He is enteringh8199 into  bjudgmenth8199 with allh3605 fleshh1320; As for the wickedh7563, He has givenh5414 them to the swordh2719,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068."

32

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "Beholdh2009, evilh7463a is goingh3318 forthh3318 From  anationh1471 to nationh1471, And a greath1419  bstormh5591a is being stirredh5782 up From the remotesth3411 partsh3411 of the earthh776.

33

"Those  aslainh2491a by the LORDh3068 on that dayh3117 will be from one endh7097a of the earthh776 to the  1otherh7097ah776. They will  bnot be lamentedh5594, gatheredh622 or buriedh6912; they will be like  cdungh1828 on the faceh6440 of the groundh127.

34

"Wailh3213, you shepherdsh7462a, and cryh2199; And  awallowh6428 in ashes, you mastersh117 of the flockh6629; For the daysh3117 of your  bslaughterh2873 and your dispersionsh8600a  1have comeh4390, And you will fallh5307 like a choiceh2532 vesselh3627.

35

aFlighth4498 will perishh6 from the shepherdsh7462a, And escapeh6413 from the mastersh117 of the flockh6629.

36

"Hear the soundh6963 of the cryh6818 of the shepherdsh7462a, And the wailingh3215 of the mastersh117 of the flockh6629! For the LORDh3068 is destroyingh7703 their pastureh4830,

37

"And the peacefulh7965  1 afoldsh5116c are madeh1826a silenth1826a Becauseh4480h6440 of the  bfierceh2740 angerh639 of the LORDh3068.

38

"He has lefth5800a His hidingh5520 placeh5520  alike the lionh3715; For their landh776 has becomeh1961 a horrorh8047 Becauseh4480h6440 of the fiercenessh2740 of the  1oppressingh3238 sword And becauseh4480h6440 of His fierceh2740 angerh639."
