The message that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;

The words Jeremiah the prophet spoke concerning all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,

From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, until this very day—these twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you repeatedly, but you have not listened.

From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

The LORD has sent all His servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or inclined your ears to hear.

And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

They said, 'Turn now, each of you, from your evil way and from your evil actions. Dwell in the land that the LORD gave to you and your ancestors forever and ever.

They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:

Do not follow other gods to serve them or worship them. Do not provoke me to anger with the works of your hands; then I will not bring disaster upon you.'

And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

But you have not listened to me, declares the LORD, and you have provoked me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own harm.

Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

Therefore, this is what the LORD of Hosts says: 'Because you have not listened to my words—

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,

I am about to send for all the clans of the north,' declares the LORD, 'and for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and I will bring them against this land, its inhabitants, and all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them, making them an object of horror, scorn, and perpetual ruins.

Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

I will banish from them the sound of joy and gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the bride, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp.

Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.

This entire land will become a desolate ruin, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.

And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

'But when the seventy years are completed,' declares the LORD, 'I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, and I will make it desolate forever.'

And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

I will bring upon that land everything I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book and prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations.

And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

For many nations and great kings will make them serve, and I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.

For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: 'Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it.'

For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

They will drink, stagger, and act like madmen because of the sword I am sending among them.

And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent me drink it.

Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:

Jerusalem, the towns of Judah, its kings, and officials, to make them a ruin, a desolation, an object of hissing and cursing, as they are today.

To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;

Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people.

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

All the mixed peoples and all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the Philistine cities: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod.

And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

Edom, Moab, and the sons of Ammon.

Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,

All the kings of Tyre and all the kings of Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea.

And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,

Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who clip the corners of their hair.

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,

All the kings of Arabia and the kings of the mixed peoples who live in the desert.

And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,

All the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media.

And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

And all the kings of the north, near and far, one after another—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after them, the king of Sheshach will drink.

And all the kings of the north, far and 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.

Then say to them: This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'Drink, get drunk, and vomit; fall and do not rise, because of the sword I am sending among you.'

Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

If they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, tell them, 'This is what the LORD of Hosts says: You must drink it!'

And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

For behold, I am bringing disaster on the city that bears my name, and will you indeed go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the LORD of Hosts.

For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.

Therefore, you are to prophesy all these words to them and tell them: 'The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy dwelling. He will roar mightily against His pasture; He will shout like those who tread grapes, shouting aloud against all the inhabitants of the earth.'

Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

The clamor will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD has a case against the nations. He will bring judgment on all mankind and hand over the wicked to the sword,' declares the LORD.

A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.

This is what the LORD of Hosts says: 'Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a great storm is being stirred up from the ends of the earth.'

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

On that day, those slain by the LORD will be scattered from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried; they will be like dung lying on the ground.

And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

Weep and wail, you shepherds, cry out! Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock, for your time to be slaughtered has come. You will fall like a precious vessel.

Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.

The shepherds will have no refuge, and the leaders of the flock will find no escape.

And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture.

A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.

The peaceful pastures will be silent because of the LORD's fierce anger.

And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

Like a lion leaving its lair, He has left His den, for their land has become a desolation because of the oppressor's wrath and the LORD's fierce anger.

He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
