Jeremiah 25:9-26

Leeser(i) 9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all these nations round about, and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a derision, and perpetual ruins. 10 And I will banish from them the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill, and the light of the lamp. 11 And this whole land shall become a ruin and an object of astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are completed, that I will visit on the king of Babylon, and on that nation, saith the Lord, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and will change it into perpetual desolations. 13 And I will bring over that land all my words which I have spoken concerning it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning all the nations. 14 For when many nations and great kings shall have made them also serve: I will then recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their own hands. 15 For thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel unto me, Take the cup of the wine of this fury out of my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it. 16 And they shall drink, and reel about, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 17 And I took the cup out of the hand of the Lord, and caused to drink all the nations, unto whom the Lord had sent me: 18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a ruin, an astonishment, a derision, and a curse; as it is this day; 19 Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 20 And all the confederated nations, 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; 21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of ‘Ammon; 22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea; 23 Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all those that have their hair cut round; 24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the confederated nations that dwell in the wilderness; 25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of ‘Elam, and all the kings of Media; 26 And all the kings of the north, that are far and that are near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
