Jeremiah 25:15–29

¹⁵‘For thus said Jehovah God of Israel unto me, Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and thou hast caused all the nations to drink it unto whom I am sending thee; ¹⁶And they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shewn themselves foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.

¹⁷‘And I take the cup out of the hand of Jehovah, and cause all the nations to drink unto whom Jehovah sent me: ¹⁸Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to waste, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as at this day. ¹⁹Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people, ²⁰And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gazzah, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod, ²¹Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, ²²And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Zidon, And the kings of the isle that is beyond the sea, ²³Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners of the beard, ²⁴And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness, ²⁵And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media, ²⁶And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off, one unto another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That are on the face of the ground, And king Sheshach drinketh after them. ²⁷And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts God of Israel, Drink ye, yea drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and rise not, Because of the sword that I am sending among you. ²⁸And it hath come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of thy hand to drink, That thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do certainly drink. ²⁹For lo, in the city over which My name is called, I am beginning to do evil, And ye—ye are entirely acquitted! Ye are not acquitted, for a sword I am proclaiming, For all inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
