10 See, (A)I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms,
(B)To uproot and to tear down,
To cause to perish and to pull down,
(C)To build and to plant.”
Jeremiah 25:15-38
Legacy Standard Bible
15 For thus Yahweh, the God of Israel, says to me, “Take this (A)cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it. 16 They will (B)drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Then I took the cup from the hand of Yahweh and (C)made all the nations to whom Yahweh sent me drink it: 18 (D)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and its kings and its princes, to make them a waste place, an object of horror, an object of hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; 19 (E)Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes, and all his people, 20 and all the [a](F)foreign people, all the kings of the (G)land of Uz, all the kings of the land of the (H)Philistines (even Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of (I)Ashdod), 21 (J)Edom, (K)Moab, and the sons of (L)Ammon, 22 and all the kings of (M)Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of (N)the coastlands which are beyond the sea, 23 and (O)Dedan, Tema, (P)Buz, and all who (Q)cut [b]the corners of their hair, 24 and all the kings of (R)Arabia and all the kings of the [c](S)foreign people who dwell in the desert, 25 and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of (T)Elam, and all the kings of (U)Media, 26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one with another; and (V)all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the ground, and the king of [d](W)Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 “You shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “(X)Drink, be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more because of the (Y)sword which I will send among you.”’ 28 And it will be, if they (Z)refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you will say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “(AA)You shall surely drink! 29 For behold, I am (AB)beginning to bring evil against this city which is (AC)called by My name. But shall you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment, for (AD)I am calling for a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares Yahweh of hosts.’
30 “Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them,
‘(AE)Yahweh will (AF)roar from on high
And give forth His voice from His holy habitation;
He will roar mightily against His [e]pasture.
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 (AG)a contention against the nations.
He is entering into (AH)judgment with all flesh;
As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,’ declares Yahweh.”
32 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“Behold, evil is going forth
From (AI)nation to nation,
And a great (AJ)storm is being stirred up
From the remotest parts of the earth.
33 “Those (AK)slain by Yahweh on that day will be from one end of the earth to the [f]other. They will (AL)not be lamented, gathered, or buried; they will be like (AM)dung on the face of the ground.
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry out;
And (AN)roll yourselves in ashes, you masters of the flock;
For the days of your (AO)slaughter and your scatterings are being fulfilled,
And you will fall like a desirable vessel.
35 (AP)Refuge 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,
37 And the peaceful (AQ)pastures are made silent
Because of the (AR)burning anger of Yahweh.
38 He has forsaken His hiding place (AS)like the lion;
For their land has become an object of horror
Because of the burning desire of [g]the oppressor
And because of His burning anger.”
