Jeremiah 25:6-26 Go not after strange gods to serve them, and worship them, that you may not provoke me by the works of your hands to bring evils upon you.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Go not after strange gods to serve them, and worship them, that you may not provoke me by the works of your hands to bring evils upon you. ⁷ But you hearkened not to me. ⁸ Therefore thus saith the Lord, Since you have not believed my words, ⁹ behold I am sending, and I will take a family from the north and bring them against this land and against the inhabitants thereof and against all the nations around it. And I will lay them waste and make them a desolation and an object of pity and an everlasting reproach. ¹⁰ And I will destroy from among them the sound of joy and the sound of gladness; the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; the odour of myrrh and the light of the lamp. ¹¹ And the whole country shall be a desolation. And they shall be slaves among the nations seventy years. ¹² And when the seventy years are compleated I will execute vengeance on that nation, and make them an everlasting desolation. ¹³ I will indeed bring against that land all these words of mine which I have spoken against it; all the things which are written in this book which Jeremias prophesied against the nations, ¹⁴ [Omitted] ¹⁵ in the manner the Lord, the God of Israel said, "Take this cup of wine; this strong wine from my hand, and thou shalt make all the nations, to which I send thee, drink it. ¹⁶ And they shall drink and vomit and rave, because of the sword which I send among them. ¹⁷ So I took the cup out of the hand of the Lord and made all the nations drink to which the Lord sent me, ¹⁸ namely Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings of Juda, and his chiefs, to make them a desolation and a waste and an object of pity; ¹⁹ also Pharao king of Egypt and his servants and his nobles and all his people; ²⁰ and all the mixed people; and all the kings of the Philistines, [namely Ascalon and Gaza and Akkaron and the remnant of Azotus; ²¹ and Idumea and Moab and the children of Ammon; ²² and the kings of Tyre and the kings of Sidon; and the kings on the border of the sea; ²³ and Daidan and Thaiman and Ros, and all that had their foreheads shaven; ²⁴ and all the mixed people who dwell in the desert; ²⁵ and all the kings of Ailam and all the kings of the Persians ²⁶ and all the kings north of the sun, far and near, every one adjoining his brother, even all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
