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}, that was the first{H7224} year{H8141} of Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894};

The which Jeremiah{H3414} the prophet{H5030} spake{H1696}{(H8765)} unto all the people{H5971} of Judah{H3063}, and to all the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Jerusalem{H3389}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

From the thirteenth{H7969}{H6240} year{H8141} of Josiah{H2977} the son{H1121} of Amon{H526} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063}, even unto this day{H3117}, that is the three{H7969} and twentieth{H6242} year{H8141}, the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} hath come unto me, and I have spoken{H1696}{(H8762)} unto you, rising early{H7925}{(H8687)} and speaking{H1696}{(H8763)}; but ye have not hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)}.

And the LORD{H3068} hath sent{H7971}{(H8804)} unto you all his servants{H5650} the prophets{H5030}, rising early{H7925}{(H8687)} and sending{H7971}{(H8800)} them; but ye have not hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)}, nor inclined{H5186}{(H8689)} your ear{H241} to hear{H8085}{(H8800)}.

They said{H559}{(H8800)}, Turn ye again{H7725}{(H8798)} now every one{H376} from his evil{H7451} way{H1870}, and from the evil{H7455} of your doings{H4611}, and dwell{H3427}{(H8798)} in the land{H127} that the LORD{H3068} hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} unto you and to your fathers{H1} for{H5704} ever{H5769} and ever{H5769}:

And go{H3212}{(H8799)} not after{H310} other{H312} gods{H430} to serve{H5647}{(H8800)} them, and to worship{H7812}{(H8692)} them, and provoke me not to anger{H3707}{(H8686)} with the works{H4639} of your hands{H3027}; and I will do you no hurt{H7489}{(H8686)}.

Yet ye have not hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} unto me, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}; that ye might provoke me to anger{H3707}{(H8687)} with the works{H4639} of your hands{H3027} to your own hurt{H7451}.

Therefore thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}; Because ye have not heard{H8085}{(H8804)} my words{H1697},

Behold, I will send{H7971}{(H8802)} and take{H3947}{(H8804)} all the families{H4940} of the north{H6828}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, and Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894}, my servant{H5650}, and will bring{H935}{(H8689)} them against this land{H776}, and against the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} thereof, and against all these nations{H1471} round about{H5439}, and will utterly destroy{H2763}{(H8689)} them, and make{H7760}{(H8804)} them an astonishment{H8047}, and an hissing{H8322}, and perpetual{H5769} desolations{H2723}.

Moreover I will take{H6}{(H8689)} 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 candle{H5216}.

And this whole land{H776} shall be a desolation{H2723}, and an astonishment{H8047}; and these nations{H1471} shall serve{H5647}{(H8804)} the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} seventy{H7657} years{H8141}.

And it shall come to pass, when seventy{H7657} years{H8141} are accomplished{H4390}{(H8800)}, that I will punish{H6485}{(H8799)} the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894}, and that nation{H1471}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, for their iniquity{H5771}, and the land{H776} of the Chaldeans{H3778}, and will make{H7760}{(H8804)} it perpetual{H5769} desolations{H8077}.

And I will bring{H935}{(H8689)} upon that land{H776} all my words{H1697} which I have pronounced{H1696}{(H8765)} against it, even all that is written{H3789}{(H8803)} in this book{H5612}, which Jeremiah{H3414} hath prophesied{H5012}{(H8738)} against all the nations{H1471}.

For many{H7227} nations{H1471} and great{H1419} kings{H4428} shall serve{H5647}{(H8804)} themselves of them also: and I will recompense{H7999}{(H8765)} them according to their deeds{H6467}, and according to the works{H4639} of their own hands{H3027}.

For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} unto me; Take{H3947}{(H8798)} the wine{H3196} cup{H3563} of this fury{H2534} at my hand{H3027}, and cause all the nations{H1471}, to whom I send{H7971}{(H8802)} thee, to drink{H8248}{(H8689)} it.

And they shall drink{H8354}{(H8804)}, and be moved{H1607}{(H8707)}, and be mad{H1984}{(H8703)}, because{H6440} of the sword{H2719} that I will send{H7971}{(H8802)} among them.

Then took{H3947}{(H8799)} I the cup{H3563} at the LORD'S{H3068} hand{H3027}, and made all the nations{H1471} to drink{H8248}{(H8686)}, unto whom the LORD{H3068} had sent{H7971}{(H8804)} 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}{(H8800)} them a desolation{H2723}, an astonishment{H8047}, an 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 Uz{H5780}, and all 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},

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

And all the kings{H4428} of Tyrus{H6865}, and all the kings{H4428} of Zidon{H6721}, and the kings{H4428} of the isles{H339} which are beyond{H5676} the sea{H3220},

Dedan{H1719}, and Tema{H8485}, and Buz{H938}, and all that are in the utmost{H7112}{(H8803)} corners{H6285},

And all the kings{H4428} of Arabia{H6152}, and all the kings{H4428} of the mingled people{H6153} that dwell{H7931}{(H8802)} in the desert{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}{(H8799)} after{H310} them.

Therefore thou shalt say{H559}{(H8804)} unto them, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}; Drink{H8354}{(H8798)} ye, and be drunken{H7937}{(H8798)}, and spue{H7006}{(H8798)}, and fall{H5307}{(H8798)}, and rise{H6965}{(H8799)} no more, because{H6440} of the sword{H2719} which I will send{H7971}{(H8802)} among you.

And it shall be, if they refuse{H3985}{(H8762)} to take{H3947}{(H8800)} the cup{H3563} at thine hand{H3027} to drink{H8354}{(H8800)}, then shalt thou say{H559}{(H8804)} unto them, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}; Ye shall certainly{H8354}{(H8800)} drink{H8354}{(H8799)}.

For, lo, I begin{H2490}{(H8688)} to bring evil{H7489}{(H8687)} on the city{H5892} which is called{H7121}{(H8738)} by my name{H8034}, and should ye be utterly{H5352}{(H8736)} unpunished{H5352}{(H8735)}? Ye shall not be unpunished{H5352}{(H8736)}: for I will call{H7121}{(H8802)} for a sword{H2719} upon all the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of the earth{H776}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}.

Therefore prophesy{H5012}{(H8735)} thou against them all these words{H1697}, and say{H559}{(H8804)} unto them, The LORD{H3068} shall roar{H7580}{(H8799)} from on high{H4791}, and utter{H5414}{(H8799)} his voice{H6963} from his holy{H6944} habitation{H4583}; he shall mightily{H7580}{(H8800)} roar{H7580}{(H8799)} upon his habitation{H5116}; he shall give{H6030}{(H8799)} a shout{H1959}, as they that tread{H1869}{(H8802)} the grapes, against all the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of the earth{H776}.

A noise{H7588} shall come{H935}{(H8804)} even to the ends{H7097} of the earth{H776}; for the LORD{H3068} hath a controversy{H7379} with the nations{H1471}, he will plead{H8199}{(H8737)} with all flesh{H1320}; he will give{H5414}{(H8804)} them that are wicked{H7563} to the sword{H2719}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, Behold, evil{H7451} shall go forth{H3318}{(H8802)} from nation{H1471} to nation{H1471}, and a great{H1419} whirlwind{H5591} shall be raised up{H5782}{(H8735)} from the coasts{H3411} of the earth{H776}.

And the slain{H2491} of the LORD{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}{(H8735)}, neither gathered{H622}{(H8735)}, nor buried{H6912}{(H8735)}; they shall be dung{H1828} upon{H6440} the ground{H127}.

Howl{H3213}{(H8685)}, ye shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)}, and cry{H2199}{(H8798)}; and wallow{H6428}{(H8690)} yourselves in the ashes, ye principal{H117} of the flock{H6629}: for the days{H3117} of your slaughter{H2873}{(H8800)} and of your dispersions{H8600} are accomplished{H4390}{(H8804)}; and ye shall fall{H5307}{(H8804)} like a pleasant{H2532} vessel{H3627}.

And the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)} shall have no way{H4498} to flee{H6}{(H8804)}, nor the principal{H117} of the flock{H6629} to escape{H6413}.

A voice{H6963} of the cry{H6818} of the shepherds{H7462}{(H8802)}, and an howling{H3215} of the principal{H117} of the flock{H6629}, shall be heard: for the LORD{H3068} hath spoiled{H7703}{(H8802)} their pasture{H4830}.

And the peaceable{H7965} habitations{H4999} are cut down{H1826}{(H8738)} because{H6440} of the fierce{H2740} anger{H639} of the LORD{H3068}.

He hath forsaken{H5800}{(H8804)} his covert{H5520}, as the lion{H3715}: for their land{H776} is desolate{H8047} because{H6440} of the fierceness{H2740} of the oppressor{H3238}{(H8802)}, and because{H6440} of his fierce{H2740} anger{H639}.
