Jeremiah 25:3 (NET) New English Translation

1 In the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah, the LORD spoke to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah. (That was the same as the first year that Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon.)
2 So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the people who were living in Jerusalem.
3 "For the last twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year that Josiah son of Amon was ruling in Judah until now, the LORD has been speaking to me. I told you over and over again what he said. But you would not listen.
4 Over and over again the LORD has sent his servants the prophets to you. But you have not listened or paid attention.
5 He said through them, 'Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and stop doing the evil things you are doing. If you do, I will allow you to continue to live here in the land that I gave to you and your ancestors as a lasting possession.
6 Do not pay allegiance to other gods and worship and serve them. Do not make me angry by the things that you do. Then I will not cause you any harm.'
7 So, now the LORD says, 'You have not listened to me. But you have made me angry by the things that you have done. Thus you have brought harm on yourselves.'
8 "Therefore, the LORD who rules over all says, 'You have not listened to what I said.
9 So I, the LORD, affirm that I will send for all the peoples of the north and my servant, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and all the nations that surround it. I will utterly destroy this land, its inhabitants, and all the nations that surround it and make them everlasting ruins. I will make them objects of horror and hissing scorn.
10 I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness, to the glad celebration of brides and grooms in these lands. I will put an end to the sound of people grinding meal. I will put an end to lamps shining in their houses.
11 This whole area will become a desolate wasteland. These nations will be subject to the king of Babylon for seventy years.'
12 "'But when the seventy years are over, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation for their sins. I will make the land of Babylon an everlasting ruin. I, the LORD, affirm it!
13 I will bring on that land everything that I said I would. I will bring on it everything that is written in this book. I will bring on it everything that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 For many nations and great kings will make slaves of the king of Babylon and his nation too. I will repay them for all they have done!'"
15 So the LORD, the God of Israel, spoke to me in a vision. "Take this cup from my hand. It is filled with the wine of my wrath. Take it and make the nations to whom I send you drink it.
16 When they have drunk it, they will stagger to and fro and act insane. For I will send wars sweeping through them."
17 So I took the cup from the LORD's hand. I made all the nations to whom he sent me drink the wine of his wrath.
18 I made Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and its officials drink it. I did it so Judah would become a ruin. I did it so Judah, its kings, and its officials would become an object of horror and of hissing scorn, an example used in curses. Such is already becoming the case!
19 I made all of these other people drink it: Pharaoh, king of Egypt; his attendants, his officials, his people,
20 the foreigners living in Egypt; all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of the Philistines, the people of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, the people who had been left alive from Ashdod;
21 all the people of Edom, Moab, Ammon;
22 all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon; all the kings of the coastlands along the sea;
23 the people of Dedan, Tema, Buz, all the desert people who cut their hair short at the temples;
24 all the kings of Arabia who live in the desert;
25 all the kings of Zimri; all the kings of Elam; all the kings of Media;
26 all the kings of the north, whether near or far from one another; and all the other kingdoms which are on the face of the earth. After all of them have drunk the wine of the LORD's wrath, the king of Babylon must drink it.
27 Then the LORD said to me, "Tell them that the LORD God of Israel who rules over all says, 'Drink this cup until you get drunk and vomit. Drink until you fall down and can't get up. For I will send wars sweeping through you.'
28 If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, tell them that the LORD who rules over all says 'You most certainly must drink it!
29 For take note, I am already beginning to bring disaster on the city that I call my own. So how can you possibly avoid being punished? You will not go unpunished! For I am proclaiming war against all who live on the earth. I, the LORD who rules over all, affirm it!'
30 "Then, Jeremiah, make the following prophecy against them: 'Like a lion about to attack, the LORD will roar from the heights of heaven; from his holy dwelling on high he will roar loudly. He will roar mightily against his land. He will shout in triumph like those stomping juice from the grapes against all those who live on the earth.
31 The sounds of battle will resound to the ends of the earth. For the LORD will bring charges against the nations. He will pass judgment on all humankind and will hand the wicked over to be killed in war.' The LORD so affirms it!
32 The LORD who rules over all says, 'Disaster will soon come on one nation after another. A mighty storm of military destruction is rising up from the distant parts of the earth.'
33 Those who have been killed by the LORD at that time will be scattered from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned over, gathered up, or buried. Their dead bodies will lie scattered over the ground like manure.
34 Wail and cry out in anguish, you rulers! Roll in the dust, you who shepherd flocks of people! The time for you to be slaughtered has come. You will lie scattered and fallen like broken pieces of fine pottery.
35 The leaders will not be able to run away and hide. The shepherds of the flocks will not be able to escape.
36 Listen to the cries of anguish of the leaders. Listen to the wails of the shepherds of the flocks. They are wailing because the LORD is about to destroy their lands.
37 Their peaceful dwelling places will be laid waste by the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 The LORD is like a lion who has left his lair. So their lands will certainly be laid waste by the warfare of the oppressive nation and by the fierce anger of the LORD."
1 The word H1697 that H834 came H1961 to H5921 Jeremiah H3414 concerning H5921 all H3605 the people H5971 of Judah H3063 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 that H1931 was the first H7224 year H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon; H894
2 The which H834 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 spoke H1696 unto H5921 all H3605 the people H5971 of Judah, H3063 and to H413 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 saying, H559
3 From H4480 the thirteenth H7969 H6240 year H8141 of Josiah H2977 the son H1121 of Amon H526 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 even unto H5704 this H2088 day, H3117 that H2088 is the three H7969 and twentieth H6242 year, H8141 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 hath come H1961 unto H413 me , and I have spoken H1696 unto H413 you , rising early H7925 and speaking; H1696 but ye have not H3808 hearkened. H8085
4 And the LORD H3068 hath sent H7971 unto H413 you H853 all H3605 his servants H5650 the prophets, H5030 rising early H7925 and sending H7971 them ; but ye have not H3808 hearkened, H8085 nor H3808 inclined H5186 H853 your ear H241 to hear. H8085
5 They said, H559 Turn ye again H7725 now H4994 every one H376 from his evil H7451 way H4480 H1870 , and from the evil H4480 H7455 of your doings, H4611 and dwell H3427 in H5921 the land H127 that H834 the LORD H3068 hath given H5414 unto you and to your fathers H1 forever H5769 and ever H5704 H5769 :
6 And go H1980 not H408 after H310 other H312 gods H430 to serve H5647 them , and to worship H7812 them , and provoke me not to anger H3808 H3707 H853 with the works H4639 of your hands; H3027 and I will do you no hurt H3808 H7489 .
7 Yet ye have not H3808 hearkened H8085 unto H413 me, saith H5002 the LORD; H3068 that H4616 ye might provoke me to anger H3707 with the works H4639 of your hands H3027 to your own hurt. H7451
8 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts; H6635 Because H3282 H834 ye have not H3808 heard H8085 H853 my words, H1697
9 Behold H2009 , I will send H7971 and take H3947 H853 all H3605 the families H4940 of the north, H6828 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 and Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 my servant, H5650 and will bring H935 them against H5921 this H2063 land, H776 and against H5921 the inhabitants H3427 thereof , and against H5921 all H3605 these H428 nations H1471 round about, H5439 and will utterly destroy H2763 them , and make H7760 them an astonishment, H8047 and a hissing, H8322 and perpetual H5769 desolations. H2723
10 Moreover I will take H6 from H4480 them the voice H6963 of mirth, H8342 and the voice H6963 of gladness, H8057 the voice H6963 of the bridegroom, H2860 and the voice H6963 of the bride, H3618 the sound H6963 of the millstones, H7347 and the light H216 of the candle. H5216
11 And this H2063 whole H3605 land H776 shall be H1961 a desolation, H2723 and an astonishment; H8047 and these H428 nations H1471 shall serve H5647 H853 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 seventy H7657 years. H8141
12 And it shall come to pass, H1961 when seventy H7657 years H8141 are accomplished, H4390 that I will punish H6485 H5921 the king H4428 of Babylon, H894 and that H1931 nation, H1471 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 for H854 their iniquity, H5771 and the land H776 of the Chaldeans, H3778 and will make H7760 it perpetual H5769 desolations. H8077
13 And I will bring H935 upon H5921 that H1931 land H776 H853 all H3605 my words H1697 which H834 I have pronounced H1696 against H5921 it, even H853 all H3605 that is written H3789 in this H2088 book, H5612 which H834 Jeremiah H3414 hath prophesied H5012 against H5921 all H3605 the nations. H1471
14 For H3588 many H7227 nations H1471 and great H1419 kings H4428 shall serve H5647 themselves H1992 of them also: H1571 and I will recompense H7999 them according to their deeds, H6467 and according to the works H4639 of their own hands. H3027
15 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 unto H413 me; Take H3947 H853 the wine H3196 cup H3563 of this H2063 fury H2534 at my hand H4480 H3027 , and cause H853 all H3605 the nations, H1471 to whom H834 H413 I H595 send H7971 thee , to drink H8248 it.
16 And they shall drink, H8354 and be moved, H1607 and be mad, H1984 because H4480 H6440 of the sword H2719 that H834 I will send H7971 among H996 them.
17 Then took H3947 I H853 the cup H3563 at the LORD's H3068 hand H4480 H3027 , and made H853 all H3605 the nations H1471 to drink, H8248 unto H413 whom H834 the LORD H3068 had sent H7971 me:
18 To wit , H853 Jerusalem, H3389 and the cities H5892 of Judah, H3063 and the kings H4428 thereof , and H853 the princes H8269 thereof , to make H5414 them a desolation, H2723 an astonishment, H8047 a hissing, H8322 and a curse; H7045 as it is this H2088 day; H3117
19 H853 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt, H4714 and his servants, H5650 and his princes, H8269 and all H3605 his people; H5971
20 And all H3605 the mingled people, H6154 and H853 all H3605 the kings H4428 of the land H776 of Uz, H5780 and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the land H776 of the Philistines, H6430 and Ashkelon, H831 and Azzah, H5804 and Ekron, H6138 and the remnant H7611 of Ashdod, H795
21 H853 Edom, H123 and Moab, H4124 and the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983
22 And all H3605 the kings H4428 of Tyrus, H6865 and all H3605 the kings H4428 of Zidon, H6721 and the kings H4428 of the isles H339 which H834 are beyond H5676 the sea, H3220
23 Dedan H1719 , and Tema, H8485 and Buz, H938 and all H3605 that are in the utmost H7112 corners, H6285
24 And all H3605 the kings H4428 of Arabia, H6152 and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the mingled people H6154 that dwell H7931 in the desert, H4057
25 And all H3605 the kings H4428 of Zimri, H2174 and all H3605 the kings H4428 of Elam, H5867 and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Medes, H4074
26 And all H3605 the kings H4428 of the north, H6828 far H7350 and near, H7138 one H376 with H413 another, H251 and all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the world, H776 which H834 are upon H5921 the face H6440 of the earth: H127 and the king H4428 of Sheshach H8347 shall drink H8354 after H310 them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Drink H8354 ye , and be drunken, H7937 and spew, H7006 and fall, H5307 and rise H6965 no H3808 more, because H4480 H6440 of the sword H2719 which H834 I H595 will send H7971 among H996 you.
28 And it shall be, H1961 if H3588 they refuse H3985 to take H3947 the cup H3563 at thine hand H4480 H3027 to drink, H8354 then shalt thou say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts; H6635 Ye shall certainly drink H8354 H8354 .
29 For H3588 , lo, H2009 I H595 begin H2490 to bring evil H7489 on the city H5892 which H834 is called H7121 by H5921 my name, H8034 and should ye H859 be utterly unpunished H5352 H5352 ? Ye shall not H3808 be unpunished: H5352 for H3588 I H589 will call for H7121 a sword H2719 upon H5921 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of the earth, H776 saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635
30 Therefore prophesy H5012 thou H859 against H413 them H853 all H3605 these H428 words, H1697 and say H559 unto H413 them , The LORD H3068 shall roar H7580 from on high H4480 H4791 , and utter H5414 his voice H6963 from his holy H6944 habitation H4480 H4583 ; he shall mightily roar H7580 H7580 upon H5921 his habitation; H5116 he shall give H6030 a shout, H1959 as they that tread H1869 the grapes , against H413 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of the earth. H776
31 A noise H7588 shall come H935 even to H5704 the ends H7097 of the earth; H776 for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath a controversy H7379 with the nations, H1471 he H1931 will plead H8199 with all H3605 flesh; H1320 he will give H5414 them that are wicked H7563 to the sword, H2719 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
32 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 Behold, H2009 evil H7451 shall go forth H3318 from nation H4480 H1471 to H413 nation, H1471 and a great H1419 whirlwind H5591 shall be raised up H5782 from the coasts H4480 H3411 of the earth. H776
33 And the slain H2491 of the LORD H3068 shall be H1961 at that H1931 day H3117 from one end H4480 H7097 of the earth H776 even unto H5704 the other end H7097 of the earth: H776 they shall not H3808 be lamented, H5594 neither H3808 gathered, H622 nor H3808 buried; H6912 they shall be H1961 dung H1828 upon H5921 H6440 the ground. H127
34 Howl H3213 , ye shepherds, H7462 and cry; H2199 and wallow yourselves H6428 in the ashes , ye principal H117 of the flock: H6629 for H3588 the days H3117 of your slaughter H2873 and of your dispersions H8600 are accomplished; H4390 and ye shall fall H5307 like a pleasant H2532 vessel. H3627
35 And the shepherds H7462 shall have no way to flee H4480 H6, H4498 nor the principal H4480 H117 of the flock H6629 to escape. H6413
36 A voice H6963 of the cry H6818 of the shepherds, H7462 and a howling H3215 of the principal H117 of the flock, H6629 shall be heard : for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath spoiled H7703 H853 their pasture. H4830
37 And the peaceable H7965 habitations H4999 are cut down H1826 because H4480 H6440 of the fierce H2740 anger H639 of the LORD. H3068
38 He hath forsaken H5800 his covert, H5520 as the lion: H3715 for H3588 their land H776 is H1961 desolate H8047 because H4480 H6440 of the fierceness H2740 of the oppressor, H3238 and because H4480 H6440 of his fierce H2740 anger. H639
