Jeremiah 25:9-29

Brenton(i) 9 behold I will send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste, and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach. 10 And I will destroy from among them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle. 11 And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years. 12 And when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will take vengeance on that nation, and will make them a perpetual desolation. 13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it, even all things that are written in this book. 14 (OMITTED TEXT) 15 (32:15) Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Take the cup of this unmixed wine from mine hand, and thou shalt cause all the nations to drink, to whom I send thee. 16 (32:16) And they shall drink, and vomit, and be mad, because of the sword which I send among them. 17 (32:17) So I took the cup out of the Lord's hand, and caused the nations to whom the Lord sent me to drink: 18 (32:18) Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings of Juda, and his princes, to make them a desert place, a desolation, and a hissing; 19 (32:19) and Pharao king of Egypt, and his servants, and his nobles, and all his people; 20 (32:20) and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus, 21 (32:21) and Idumea, and the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, 22 (32:22) and the kings of Tyre, and the kings of Sidon, and the kings in the country beyond the sea, 23 (32:23) and Daedan, and Thaeman, and Ros, and every one that is shaved round about the face, 24 (32:24) and all the mingled people lodging in the wilderness, 25 (32:25) and all the kings of Aelam, and all the kings of the Persians, 26 (32:26) and all the kings from the north, the far and the near, each one with his brother, and all the kingdom s which are on the face of the earth. 27 (32:27) And thou shalt say to them, Thus said the Lord Almighty; Drink ye, be ye drunken; and ye shall vomit, and shall fall, and shall in nowise rise, because of the sword which I send among you. 28 (32:28) And it shall come to pass, when they refuse to take the cup out of thine hand, to drink it, that thou shalt say, Thus said the Lord; Ye shall surely drink. 29 (32:29) For I am beginning to afflict the city whereon my name is called, and ye shall by no means be held guiltless: for I am calling a sword upon all that dwell upon the earth.
