1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, which <em>is</em> the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
1 The word came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
2 this spoke Jeremiah the prophet unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
2 So Jeremiah the prophet said to all the people of Judah and to all those living in Jerusalem:
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, which are twenty-three years, the word of the LORD has come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and giving notice; but ye have not hearkened.
3 For twenty-three years—from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—the word of the LORD has come to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
4 And the LORD has sent unto you all his slaves the prophets, rising early and sending <em>them</em>; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear,
4 And though the LORD has sent all his servants the prophets to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention.
5 when they said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD has given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
5 They said, “Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land the LORD gave to you and your ancestors for ever and ever.
6 and do not go after other gods to serve them and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
6 Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.”
7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD, that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
7 “But you did not listen to me,” declares the LORD, “and you have aroused my anger with what your hands have made, and you have brought harm to yourselves.”
8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of the hosts: Because ye have not heard my words,
8 Therefore the LORD Almighty says this: “Because you have not listened to my words,
9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north <em>wind</em>, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my slave, and will bring them against this land and against its inhabitants and against all these nations round about and will utterly destroy them and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
9 I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,” declares the LORD, “and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin.
10 And I will cause them to lose 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.
10 I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp.
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation <em>and</em> an astonishment; and these Gentiles shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 And it shall come to pass when seventy years are accomplished, <em>that</em> I will visit upon the king of Babylon and upon that people their <em>own</em> evil, said the LORD and upon the land of the Chaldeans and will make it perpetual desolations.
12 “But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt,” declares the LORD, “and will make it desolate forever.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it, with all that is written in this book, prophesied by Jeremiah against all the Gentiles.
13 I will bring on that land all the things I have spoken against it, all that are written in this book and prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations.
14 For many Gentiles and great kings shall serve themselves of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands.
14 They themselves will be enslaved by many nations and great kings; I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”
15 For thus hath the LORD God of Israel said unto me: Take the wine cup of this fury from my hand and cause all the Gentiles, to whom I send thee, to drink of it.
15 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it.
16 And they shall drink and be moved and become mad, before the sword that I will send among them.
16 When they drink it, they will stagger and go mad because of the sword I will send among them.”
17 Then took I the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the Gentiles to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me,
17 So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent me drink it:
18 unto Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah and to its kings and to its princes, that I might place them into desolation, into astonishment, and into hissing, and into <em>a</em> curse, as this day,
18 Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin and an object of horror and scorn, a curse —as they are today;

19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials and all his people,

20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines (those of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod);
21 to Edom and <em>to</em> Moab and to the sons of Ammon,
21 Edom, Moab and Ammon;

22 all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea;

23 Dedan, Tema, Buz and all who are in distant places ;

25 all the kings of Zimri, Elam and Media;
26 and to all the kings of the north <em>wind</em>, those of far and those of near, one with another and to all the kingdoms of the earth, which <em>are</em> upon the face of the earth and the king of Sheshach {Babylon} shall drink after them.
26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshak will drink it too.
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the LORD of the hosts, the God of Israel said; Drink and be drunken, and vomit and fall, and ye shall not rise in the presence of the sword which I send among you.
27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you.’
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thine hand to drink, then thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said: Ye must certainly drink.
28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, tell them, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty says: You must drink it!
29 For, Behold, I begin to bring evil upon the city which is called by my name, and should ye only be absolved? Ye shall not be absolved, for I bring <em>the</em> sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, said the LORD of the hosts.
29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears my Name, and will you indeed go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword on all who live on the earth, declares the LORD Almighty.’
30 Therefore, thou shalt prophesy against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high and from the habitation of his holiness he shall utter his voice; in fury he shall roar upon his habitation; he shall sing the song of those that tread <em>grapes</em>, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
30 “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them: “ ‘The LORD will roar from on high; he will thunder from his holy dwelling and roar mightily against his land. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The noise came <em>even</em> to the ends of the earth; for it is judgment of the LORD with the Gentiles; he is the Judge of all flesh; he will give those <em>that are</em> wicked to the sword, said the LORD.
31 The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth, for the LORD will bring charges against the nations; he will bring judgment on all mankind and put the wicked to the sword,’ ” declares the LORD.
32 Thus saith the LORD of the hosts, Behold, the evil goes forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
32 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”
33 And the slain of the LORD shall be in that day from <em>one</em> end of the earth even unto the <em>other</em> end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be as dung upon the ground.
33 At that time those slain by the LORD will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves <em>in the dust</em>, ye principals of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like an enticing vessel.
34 Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall like the best of the rams.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor <em>for</em> the principals of the flock to escape.
35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape.
36 <em>The</em> voice of the cry of the shepherds and a howling of the principals of the flock <em>shall be heard</em>! For the LORD has spoiled their pasture.
36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture.
37 And the quiet pastures shall be cut off by the fierce anger of the LORD.
37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 He has forsaken his habitation, as the <em>young</em> lion; for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor and because of his fierce anger.
38 Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword of the oppressor and because of the LORD’s fierce anger.
