round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them
an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
025:010 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 lamp.
025:011 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment;
and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
025:012 It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished,
that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation,
says Yahweh, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans;
and I will make it desolate forever.
025:013 I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced
against it, even all that is written in this book,
which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
025:014 For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them,
even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds,
and according to the work of their hands.
025:015 For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to me: take this cup
of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations,
to whom I send you, to drink it.
025:016 They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad,
because of the sword that I will send among them.
025:017 Then took I the cup at Yahweh's hand, and made all the nations
to drink, to whom Yahweh had sent me:
025:018 [to wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings
of it, and the princes of it, to make them a desolation,
an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
025:019 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes,
and all his people;
025:020 and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz,
and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza,
and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
025:021 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
025:022 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon,
and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
025:023 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners [of
their hair] cut off;
025:024 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed
people who dwell in the wilderness;
025:025 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam,
and all the kings of the Medes;
025:026 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another;
and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface
of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
025:027 You shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God
of Israel: Drink you, and be drunken, and spew, and fall,
and rise no more, because of the sword which I will
send among you.
