Jeremiah 25

The Message Bible MSG

1 This is the Message given to Jeremiah for all the people of Judah. It came in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah. It was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

2 Jeremiah the prophet delivered the Message to all the people of Judah and citizens of Jerusalem:

3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah right up to the present day - twenty-three years it's been! - God's Word has come to me, and from early each morning to late every night I've passed it on to you. And you haven't listened to a word of it!

4 Not only that, but God also sent a steady stream of prophets to you who were just as persistent as me, and you never listened.

5 They told you, "Turn back - right now, each one of you! - from your evil way of life and bad behavior, and live in the land God gave you and your ancestors, the land he intended to give you forever.

6 Don't follow the god-fads of the day, taking up and worshiping these no-gods. Don't make me angry with your god-businesses, making and selling gods - a dangerous business!

7 "You refused to listen to any of this, and now I am really angry. These god-making businesses of yours are your doom."

8 The verdict of God-of-the-Angel-Armies on all this: "Because you have refused to listen to what I've said,

9 I'm stepping in. I'm sending for the armies out of the north headed by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, my servant in this, and I'm setting them on this land and people and even the surrounding countries. I'm devoting the whole works to total destruction - a horror to top all the horrors in history.

10 And I'll banish every sound of joy - singing, laughter, marriage festivities, genial workmen, candlelit suppers.

11 The whole landscape will be one vast wasteland. These countries will be in subjection to the king of Babylon for seventy years.

12 "Once the seventy years is up, I'll punish the king of Babylon and the whole nation of Babylon for their sin. Then they'll be the wasteland.

13 Everything that I said I'd do to that country, I'll do - everything that's written in this book, everything Jeremiah preached against all the godless nations.

14 Many nations and great kings will make slaves of the Babylonians, paying them back for everything they've done to others. They won't get by with anything." God's Decree. God Puts the Human Race on Trial

15 This is a Message that the God of Israel gave me: "Take this cup filled with the wine of my wrath that I'm handing to you. Make all the nations where I send you drink it down.

16 They'll drink it and get drunk, staggering in delirium because of the killing that I'm going to unleash among them."

17 I took the cup from God's hand and made them drink it, all the nations to which he sent me:

18 Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, along with their kings and leaders, turning them into a vast wasteland, a horror to look at, a cussword - which, in fact, they now are;

19 Pharaoh king of Egypt with his attendants and leaders,

20 plus all his people and the melting pot of foreigners collected there; All the kings of Uz; All the kings of the Philistines from Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what's left of Ashdod;

21 Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;

22 All the kings of Tyre, Sidon, and the coastlands across the sea;

23 Dedan, Tema, Buz, and the nomads on the fringe of the desert;

24 All the kings of Arabia and the various Bedouin sheiks and chieftains wandering about in the desert;

25 All the kings of Zimri, Elam, and the Medes;

26 All the kings from the north countries near and far, one by one; All the kingdoms on planet Earth... And the king of Sheshak (that is, Babylon) will be the last to drink.

27 "Tell them, 'These are orders from God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel: Drink and get drunk and vomit. Fall on your faces and don't get up again. You're slated for a massacre.'

28 "If any of them refuse to take the cup from you and drink it, say to them, 'God-of-the-Angel-Armies has ordered you to drink. So drink!

29 "'Prepare for the worst! I'm starting off the catastrophe in the city that I claim as my own, so don't think you are going to get out of it. No, you're not getting out of anything. It's the sword and nothing but the sword against everyone everywhere!'" The God-of-the-Angel-Armies' Decree.

30 "Preach it all, Jeremiah. Preach the entire Message to them. Say: "'God roars like a lion from high heaven; thunder rolls out from his holy dwelling - Ear-splitting bellows against his people, shouting hurrahs like workers in harvest.

31 The noise reverberates all over the earth; everyone everywhere hears it. God makes his case against the godless nations. He's about to put the human race on trial. For the wicked the verdict is clear-cut: death by the sword.'" God's Decree.

32 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: "Prepare for the worst! Doomsday! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation. A huge storm is about to rage all across planet Earth."

33 Laid end to end, those killed in God's judgment that day will stretch from one end of the earth to the other. No tears will be shed and no burials conducted. The bodies will be left where they fall, like so much horse dung fertilizing the fields.

34 Wail, shepherds! Cry out for help! Grovel in the dirt, you masters of flocks! Time's up - you're slated for the slaughterhouse, like a choice ram with its throat cut.

35 There's no way out for the rulers, no escape for those shepherds.

36 Hear that? Rulers crying for help, shepherds of the flock wailing! God is about to ravage their fine pastures.

37 The peaceful sheepfolds will be silent with death, silenced by God's deadly anger.

38 God will come out into the open like a lion leaping from its cover, And the country will be torn to pieces, ripped and ravaged by his anger.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam de omni populo Iudae in anno quarto Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis

2 quae locutus est Hieremias propheta ad omnem populum Iuda et ad universos habitatores Hierusalem dicens

3 a tertiodecimo anno Iosiae filii Amon regis Iuda usque ad diem hanc iste est tertius et vicesimus annus factum est verbum Domini ad me et locutus sum ad vos de nocte consurgens et loquens et non audistis

4 et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas consurgens diluculo mittensque et non audistis neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis

5 cum diceret revertimini unusquisque a via sua mala et a pessimis cogitationibus vestris et habitabitis in terram quam dedit Dominus vobis et patribus vestris a saeculo et usque in saeculum

6 et nolite ire post deos alienos ut serviatis eis adoretisque eos neque me ad iracundiam provocetis in operibus manuum vestrarum et non adfligam vos

7 et non audistis me dicit Dominus ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum in malum vestrum

8 propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum pro eo quod non audistis verba mea

9 ecce ego mittam et adsumam universas cognationes aquilonis ait Dominus et ad Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum et adducam eos super terram istam et super habitatores eius et super omnes nationes quae in circuitu illius sunt et interficiam eos et ponam eos in stuporem et in sibilum et in solitudines sempiternas

10 perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem laetitiae vocem sponsae et vocem sponsi vocem molae et lumen lucernae

11 et erit universa terra eius in solitudinem et in stuporem et servient omnes gentes istae regi Babylonis septuaginta annis

12 cumque impleti fuerint anni septuaginta visitabo super regem Babylonis et super gentem illam dicit Dominus iniquitatem eorum et super terram Chaldeorum et ponam illam in solitudines sempiternas

13 et adducam super terram illam omnia verba mea quae locutus sum contra eam omne quod scriptum est in libro isto quaecumque prophetavit Hieremias adversum omnes gentes

14 quia servierunt eis cum essent gentes multae et reges magni et reddam eis secundum opera eorum et secundum facta manuum suarum

15 quia sic dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel sume calicem vini furoris huius de manu mea et propinabis de illo cunctis gentibus ad quas ego mittam te

16 et bibent et turbabuntur et insanient a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter eos

17 et accepi calicem de manu Domini et propinavi cunctis gentibus ad quas misit me Dominus

18 Hierusalem et civitatibus Iudae et regibus eius et principibus eius ut darem eos in solitudinem et in stuporem in sibilum et in maledictionem sicut est dies ista

19 Pharaoni regi Aegypti et servis eius et principibus eius et omni populo eius

20 et universis generaliter cunctis regibus terrae Ausitidis et cunctis regibus terrae Philisthim et Ascaloni et Gazae et Accaroni et reliquiis Azoti

21 Idumeae et Moab et filiis Ammon

22 et cunctis regibus Tyri et cunctis regibus Sidonis et regibus terrae insularum qui sunt trans mare

23 et Dedan et Theman et Buz et universis qui adtonsi sunt in comam

24 et cunctis regibus Arabiae et cunctis regibus occidentis qui habitant in deserto

25 et cunctis regibus Zambri et cunctis regibus Aelam et cunctis regibus Medorum

26 et cunctis regibus aquilonis de prope et de longe unicuique contra fratrem suum et omnibus regnis terrae quae super faciem eius sunt et rex Sesach bibet post eos

27 et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel bibite et inebriamini et vomite et cadite neque surgatis a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter vos

28 cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu ut bibant dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus exercituum bibentes bibetis

29 quia ecce in civitate in qua invocatum est nomen meum ego incipio adfligere et vos quasi innocentes inmunes eritis non eritis inmunes gladium enim ego voco super omnes habitatores terrae dicit Dominus exercituum

30 et tu prophetabis ad eos omnia verba haec et dices ad illos Dominus de excelso rugiet et de habitaculo sancto suo dabit vocem suam rugiens rugiet super decorem suum celeuma quasi calcantium concinetur adversus omnes habitatores terrae

31 pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terrae quia iudicium Domino cum gentibus iudicatur ipse cum omni carne impios tradidit gladio dicit Dominus

32 haec dicit Dominus exercituum ecce adflictio egredietur de gente in gentem et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terrae

33 et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa a summo terrae usque ad summum eius non plangentur et non colligentur neque sepelientur in sterquilinium super faciem terrae iacebunt

34 ululate pastores et clamate et aspergite vos cinere optimates gregis quia conpleti sunt dies vestri ut interficiamini et dissipationes vestrae et cadetis quasi vasa pretiosa

35 et peribit fuga a pastoribus et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis

36 vox clamoris pastorum et ululatus optimatium gregis quia vastavit Dominus pascuam eorum

37 et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie irae furoris Domini

38 dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie irae columbae et a facie irae furoris Domini
