The word{H1697} that came to Jeremiah{H3414} concerning all 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} (the same was the first{H7224} year{H8141} of Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon,){H894}

which Jeremiah{H3414} the prophet{H5030} spake{H1696} unto all the people{H5971} of Judah,{H3063} and to all the inhabitants{H3427} of Jerusalem,{H3389} saying:{H559}

From the thirteenth{H7969} year{H8141} of Josiah{H2977} the son{H1121} of Amon,{H526} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} even unto this day,{H3117} these three{H7969} and twenty{H6242} years,{H8141} the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} hath come unto me, and I have spoken{H1696} unto you, rising up early{H7925} and speaking;{H1696} but ye have not hearkened.{H8085}

And Jehovah{H3068} hath sent{H7971} unto you all his servants{H5650} the prophets,{H5030} rising up early{H7925} and sending{H7971} them, (but ye have not hearkened,{H8085} nor inclined{H5186} your ear{H241} to hear,){H8085}

saying,{H559} Return{H7725} ye now every one{H376} from his evil{H7451} way,{H1870} and from the evil{H7455} of your doings,{H4611} and dwell{H3427} in the land{H127} that Jehovah{H3068} hath given{H5414} unto you and to your fathers,{H1} from of old and even{H5769} for{H5704} evermore;{H5769}

and go{H3212} not after{H310} other{H312} gods{H430} to serve{H5647} them, and to worship{H7812} them, and provoke me not to anger{H3707} with the work{H4639} of your hands;{H3027} and I will do you no hurt.{H7489}

Yet ye have not hearkened{H8085} unto me, saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} that ye may provoke me to anger{H3707} with the work{H4639} of your hands{H3027} to your own hurt.{H7451}

Therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts:{H6635} Because ye have not heard{H8085} my words,{H1697}

behold, I will send{H7971} and take{H3947} all the families{H4940} of the north,{H6828} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and [I will send] unto Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} the king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} my servant,{H5650} and will bring{H935} them against this land,{H776} and against the inhabitants{H3427} thereof, and against all these nations{H1471} round about;{H5439} and I will utterly destroy{H2763} them, and make{H7760} them an astonishment,{H8047} and a hissing,{H8322} and perpetual{H5769} desolations.{H2723}

Moreover I will take{H6} from 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 lamp.{H5216}

And this whole land{H776} shall be a desolation,{H2723} and an astonishment;{H8047} and these nations{H1471} shall serve{H5647} the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} seventy{H7657} years.{H8141}

And it shall come to pass, when seventy{H7657} years{H8141} are accomplished,{H4390} that I will punish{H6485} the king{H4428} of Babylon,{H894} and that nation,{H1471} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} for their iniquity,{H5771} and the land{H776} of the Chaldeans;{H3778} and I will make{H7760} it desolate{H8077} for ever.{H5769}

And I will bring{H935} upon that land{H776} all my words{H1697} which I have pronounced{H1696} against it, even all that is written{H3789} in this book,{H5612} which Jeremiah{H3414} hath prophesied{H5012} against all the nations.{H1471}

For many{H7227} nations{H1471} and great{H1419} kings{H4428} shall make bondmen{H5647} of them, even of them; and I will recompense{H7999} them according to their deeds,{H6467} and according to the work{H4639} of their hands.{H3027}

For thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} unto me: take{H3947} this cup{H3563} of the wine{H3196} of wrath{H2534} at my hand,{H3027} and cause all the nations,{H1471} to whom I send{H7971} thee, to drink{H8248} it.

And they shall drink,{H8354} and reel{H1607} to and fro, and be mad,{H1984} because{H6440} of the sword{H2719} that I will send{H7971} among them.

Then took{H3947} I the cup{H3563} at Jehovah's{H3068} hand,{H3027} and made all the nations{H1471} to drink,{H8248} unto whom Jehovah{H3068} had sent{H7971} me:

[ to wit], Jerusalem,{H3389} and the cities{H5892} of Judah,{H3063} and the kings{H4428} thereof, and 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 day;{H3117}

Pharaoh{H6547} king{H4428} of Egypt,{H4714} and his servants,{H5650} and his princes,{H8269} and all his people;{H5971}

and all the mingled{H6153} people, and all the kings{H4428} of the land{H776} of the Uz,{H5780} and all the kings{H4428} of the{H776} Philistines,{H6430} and Ashkelon,{H831} and Gaza,{H5804} and Ekron,{H6138} and the remnant{H7611} of Ashdod;{H795}

Edom,{H123} and Moab,{H4124} and the children{H1121} of Ammon;{H5983}

and all the kings{H4428} of Tyre,{H6865} and all the kings{H4428} of Sidon,{H6721} and the kings{H4428} of the isle{H339} which is beyond{H5676} the sea;{H3220}

Dedan,{H1719} and Tema,{H8485} and Buz,{H938} and all that have the corners{H6285} [of their hair] cut off;{H7112}

and all the kings{H4428} of Arabia,{H6152} and all the kings{H4428} of the mingled people{H6153} that dwell{H7931} in the wilderness;{H4057}

and all the kings{H4428} of Zimri,{H2174} and all the kings{H4428} of Elam,{H5867} and all the kings{H4428} of the Medes;{H4074}

and all the kings{H4428} of the north,{H6828} far{H7350} and near,{H7138} one{H376} with another;{H251} and all the kingdoms{H4467} of the world,{H776} which are upon the face{H6440} of the earth:{H127} and the king{H4428} of Sheshach{H8347} shall drink{H8354} after{H310} them.

And thou shalt say{H559} unto them, Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{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 more, because{H6440} of the sword{H2719} which I will send{H7971} among you.

And it shall be, if they refuse{H3985} to take{H3947} the cup{H3563} at thy hand{H3027} to drink,{H8354} then shalt thou say{H559} unto them, Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts:{H6635} Ye shall surely{H8354} drink.{H8354}

For, lo, I begin{H2490} to work evil{H7489} at the city{H5892} which is called{H7121} by my name;{H8034} and should ye be utterly{H5352} unpunished?{H5352} Ye shall not be unpunished;{H5352} for I will call{H7121} for a sword{H2719} upon all the inhabitants{H3427} of the earth,{H776} saith{H5002} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts.{H6635}

Therefore prophesy{H5012} thou against them all these words,{H1697} and say{H559} unto them, Jehovah{H3068} will roar{H7580} from on high,{H4791} and utter{H5414} his voice{H6963} from his holy{H6944} habitation;{H4583} he will mightily{H7580} roar{H7580} against his fold;{H5116} he will give{H6030} a shout,{H1959} as they that tread{H1869} [the grapes], against all the inhabitants{H3427} of the earth.{H776}

A noise{H7588} shall come{H935} even to the end{H7097} of the earth;{H776} for Jehovah{H3068} hath a controversy{H7379} with the nations;{H1471} he will enter into judgment{H8199} with all flesh:{H1320} as for the wicked,{H7563} he will give{H5414} them to the sword,{H2719} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} Behold, evil{H7451} shall go forth{H3318} from nation{H1471} to nation,{H1471} and a great{H1419} tempest{H5591} shall be raised up{H5782} from the uttermost parts{H3411} of the earth.{H776}

And the slain{H2491} of Jehovah{H3068} shall be at that day{H3117} from one end{H7097} of the earth{H776} even unto the other end{H7097} of the earth:{H776} they shall not be lamented,{H5594} neither gathered,{H622} nor buried;{H6912} they shall be dung{H1828} upon{H6440} the face of the ground.{H127}

Wail,{H3213} ye shepherds,{H7462} and cry;{H2199} and wallow{H6428} [in ashes], ye principal{H117} of the flock;{H6629} for the days{H3117} of your slaughter{H2873} and of your dispersions{H8600} are fully come,{H4390} and ye shall fall{H5307} like a goodly{H2532} vessel.{H3627}

And the shepherds{H7462} shall have no way{H4498} to flee,{H6} nor the principal{H117} of the flock{H6629} to escape.{H6413}

A voice{H6963} of the cry{H6818} of the shepherds,{H7462} and the wailing{H3215} of the principal{H117} of the flock!{H6629} for Jehovah{H3068} layeth waste{H7703} their pasture.{H4830}

And the peaceable{H7965} folds{H4999} are brought to silence{H1826} because{H6440} of the fierce{H2740} anger{H639} of Jehovah.{H3068}

He hath left{H5800} his covert,{H5520} as the lion;{H3715} for their land{H776} is become an astonishment{H8047} because{H6440} of the fierceness{H2740} of the oppressing{H3238} [sword], and because{H6440} of his fierce{H2740} anger.{H639}
