Jeremiah 25:30–38

³⁰“Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them,

‘^aYahweh will ^broar from on high

And give forth His voice from His holy habitation;

He will roar mightily against His ¹pasture.

He will bellow a shout like those who tread the grapes,

Against all the inhabitants of the earth.

³¹‘A rumbling has come to the end of the earth

Because Yahweh has ^aa contention against the nations.

He is entering into ^bjudgment with all flesh;

As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,’ declares Yahweh.”

³²Thus says Yahweh of hosts,

“Behold, evil is going forth

From ^anation to nation,

And a great ^bstorm is being stirred up

From the remotest parts of the earth.

³³“Those ^aslain by Yahweh on that day will be from one end of the earth to the ¹other. They will ^bnot be lamented, gathered, or buried; they will be like ^cdung on the face of the ground.

³⁴“Wail, you shepherds, and cry out;

And ^aroll yourselves in ashes, you masters of the flock;

For the days of your ^bslaughter and your scatterings are being fulfilled,

And you will fall like a desirable vessel.

³⁵“^aRefuge will perish from the shepherds

And escape from the mighty ones of the flock.

³⁶“Hear the sound of the cry of the shepherds,

And the wailing of the mighty ones of the flock!

For Yahweh is destroying their pasture,

³⁷And the peaceful ^apastures are made silent

Because of the ^bburning anger of Yahweh.

³⁸“He has forsaken His hiding place ^alike the lion;

For their land has become an object of horror

Because of the burning desire of ¹the oppressor

And because of His burning anger.”
