Jeremiah 25:30–35

JUDGMENT ON THE WHOLE WORLD

³⁰“As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them:

The Lord roars from on high;

he makes his voice heard from his holy dwelling.^k

He roars loudly over his grazing land;

he calls out with a shout, like those who tread grapes,

against all the inhabitants of the earth.

³¹The tumult reaches to the ends of the earth

because the Lord brings a case against^l the nations.

He enters into judgment with all humanity.^m

As for the wicked, he hands them over to the sword—

this is the Lord’s declaration.

³²“This is what the Lord of Armies says:

Pay attention! Disaster spreads

from nation to nation.

A huge storm is stirred up

from the ends of the earth.”ⁿ

³³Those slain by the Lord^o on that day will be scattered from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned,^p gathered, or buried. They will be like manure on the soil’s surface.

³⁴Wail, you shepherds, and cry out.

Roll in the dust,^q you leaders of the flock.

Because the days of your slaughter have come,^r

you will fall and become shattered like a precious vase.

³⁵Flight will be impossible for the shepherds,

and escape, for the leaders of the flock.
