Jeremiah 25:6-26

MSTC(i) 6 And go not after strange gods, serve them not, worship them not, and anger me not with the works of your hands. Then will not I punish you.' 7 'Nevertheless, ye would not hear me,' sayeth the LORD, 'but have defiled me with the works of your hands, to your own great harm.' 8 "Wherefore, thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts, 'Because ye have not hearkened unto my word; 9 Lo, I will send out, and call for all the people that dwell in the North, sayeth the LORD, and will prepare Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon my servant, and will bring them upon this land, and upon all that dwell therein, and upon all the people that are about them, and will utterly root them out. I will make of them a wilderness, a mockage, and a continual desert. 10 Moreover, I will take from them the voice of gladness and solace, the voice of the bridegroom and the bride, the voice of the anointed, with the cressets: 11 and this whole land shall become a wilderness, and they shall serve the said people and the king of Babylon, three score years and ten. 12 When the seventy years are expired, I will visit also the wickedness of the king of Babylon and his people sayeth the LORD: yea, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it a perpetual wilderness, 13 and will fulfill all my words upon that land which I have devised against it - yea, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied of all people - 14 so that they also shall be subdued unto divers nations and great kings, for I will recompense them according to their deeds and works of their own hands.' 15 "For thus hath the LORD God of Israel spoken unto me, 'Take this wine cup of indignation from my hand, that thou mayest cause all the people, to whom I send thee, for to drink of it: 16 that when they have drunken thereof, they may be mad, and out of their wits, when the sword cometh that I will send among them.' 17 Then took I the cup from the LORD's hand, and made all the people drink thereof, unto whom the LORD had sent me. 18 But first the city of Jerusalem, and all the cities of Judah, their kings and princes: to make them desolate, waste, despised and cursed according as it is come to pass this day. 19 Yea, and Pharaoh the king of Egypt, his servants, his princes and his people altogether one with another; 20 and all kings of the land of Uz, all the kings of the Philistine's land - Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and the remnant of Ashdod - 21 the Edomites, the Moabites, and the Ammonites; 22 all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the Isles that are beyond the sea; 23 Dedan, Tema, Buz and the shaven Ishmaelites; 24 all the kings of Arabia, and, generally, all the kings that dwell in the desert; 25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, all the kings of the Medes; 26 all kings toward the north, whether they be far or nigh, everyone with his neighbours; Yea, and all the kingdoms that are upon the whole earth. The king of Sheshach, said he, shall drink with them also.
