Setenta años de cautiverio
25 Palabra que vino a Jeremías acerca de todo el pueblo de Judá, en el año cuarto de Joacim, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá (este era el primer año de Nabucodonosor(A), rey de Babilonia(B)), 2 la cual el profeta Jeremías habló a todo el pueblo de Judá y a todos los habitantes de Jerusalén, diciendo(C): 3 Desde el año trece de Josías, hijo de Amón, rey de Judá(D), hasta hoy, en estos[a] veintitrés años ha venido a mí la palabra del Señor(E), y os he hablado(F) repetidas veces[b], pero no habéis escuchado(G). 4 Y el Señor os envió repetidas veces[c] a todos sus siervos los profetas (pero no escuchasteis ni inclinasteis vuestro oído para oír(H)), 5 diciendo: «Volveos ahora cada cual de vuestro camino y de la maldad de vuestras obras, y habitaréis en la tierra que el Señor os dio a vosotros y a vuestros padres(I) para siempre(J); 6 no vayáis tras otros dioses para servirles y postraros ante ellos(K), no me provoquéis a ira con la obra de vuestras manos, y no os haré ningún mal». 7 Pero no me habéis escuchado —declara el Señor— de modo que me provocasteis a ira con la obra de vuestras manos para vuestro propio mal(L). 8 Por tanto, así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: «Por cuanto no habéis obedecido mis palabras, 9 he aquí, mandaré a buscar[d] a todas las familias del norte —declara el Señor(M)— y a Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, siervo mío(N), y los traeré contra esta tierra, contra sus habitantes y contra todas estas naciones de alrededor; los destruiré por completo[e] y los haré objeto de horror, de burla y de eterna desolación(O). 10 Y haré cesar[f] de ellos la voz de gozo y la voz de alegría, la voz del novio y la voz de la novia, el sonido de las piedras de molino(P) y la luz de la lámpara(Q). 11 Toda esta tierra será desolación(R) y horror, y estas naciones servirán al rey de Babilonia setenta años(S).
12 »Después que[g] se hayan cumplido los setenta años(T), castigaré al rey de Babilonia y a esa nación por su iniquidad(U) —declara el Señor— y a la tierra de los caldeos(V) la haré una desolación eterna. 13 Y traeré sobre esa tierra todas las palabras que he hablado contra ella, todo lo que está escrito en este libro que Jeremías ha profetizado contra todas las naciones(W). 14 (Pues también a ellos los harán esclavos muchas naciones y[h] grandes reyes(X), y les pagaré conforme a sus hechos y conforme a la obra de sus manos(Y))».
La ira de Dios contra las naciones
15 Porque así me ha dicho el Señor, Dios de Israel: Toma de mi mano esta copa del vino del furor, y haz que beban de ella todas las naciones a las cuales yo te envío(Z). 16 Y beberán y se tambalearán y enloquecerán a causa de la espada que enviaré entre ellas(AA). 17 Entonces tomé la copa de la mano del Señor, e hice beber de ella a todas las naciones a las cuales me envió el Señor(AB): 18 a Jerusalén y a las ciudades de Judá, a sus reyes y a sus príncipes, para ponerlos por desolación(AC), horror, burla y maldición, como hasta hoy; 19 a Faraón, rey de Egipto, a sus siervos, a sus príncipes y a todo su pueblo(AD); 20 a todos los extranjeros[i], a todos los reyes(AE) de la tierra de Uz(AF), a todos los reyes de la tierra de los filisteos (es decir, Ascalón, Gaza(AG), Ecrón y al remanente de Asdod(AH)); 21 a Edom(AI), a Moab(AJ) y a los hijos de Amón(AK); 22 a todos los reyes de Tiro, a todos los reyes de Sidón(AL) y a los reyes de las costas que están más allá(AM) del mar; 23 a Dedán, a Tema(AN), a Buz(AO) y a todos los que se rapan las sienes(AP); 24 a todos los reyes de Arabia(AQ) y a todos los reyes de los extranjeros[j](AR) que habitan en el desierto; 25 a todos los reyes de Zimri, a todos los reyes de Elam(AS) y a todos los reyes de Media(AT); 26 a todos los reyes del norte(AU), los de cerca y los de lejos, los unos con los otros, y a todos los reinos del mundo que están sobre la faz de la tierra(AV). El rey de Sesac[k] beberá después de ellos.
27 Y les dirás: «Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: “Bebed, embriagaos, vomitad, caed y no os levantéis a causa de la espada que yo enviaré entre vosotros(AW)”». 28 Y sucederá que si rehúsan(AX) tomar la copa de tu mano para beber, les dirás: «Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos: “Ciertamente vais a beber(AY). 29 Porque he aquí que comienzo a causar mal en esta ciudad(AZ) que se llama por mi nombre, ¿y quedaréis vosotros sin castigo alguno? No quedaréis sin castigo, porque llamo a la espada contra todos los habitantes de la tierra(BA)” —declara el Señor de los ejércitos(BB)».
30 Tú, pues, profetizarás contra ellos todas estas palabras, y les dirás:
«El Señor rugirá desde lo alto,
y dará su voz desde su santa morada;
rugirá(BC) fuertemente contra su rebaño[l].
Dará gritos como los que pisan las uvas
contra todos los habitantes de la tierra(BD).
31 Ha llegado el estruendo hasta el fin de la tierra,
porque el Señor tiene un pleito contra las naciones(BE);
entra en juicio contra toda carne(BF);
a los impíos, los entrega a la espada» —declara el Señor.
32 Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos:
He aquí, el mal va
de nación en nación(BG),
y una gran tempestad(BH) se levanta
de los confines de la tierra.
33 Y los muertos por el Señor en aquel día estarán desde un extremo de la tierra hasta el otro[m](BI). No los llorarán, ni los recogerán, ni los sepultarán; serán como estiércol sobre la faz de la tierra(BJ).
34 Gemid, pastores, y clamad;
revolcaos en ceniza(BK), mayorales del rebaño;
porque se han cumplido los días de vuestra matanza(BL) y de vuestra dispersión,
y caeréis como vaso precioso.
35 No habrá huida para los pastores,
ni escape(BM) para los mayorales del rebaño.
36 Se oye el sonido del clamor de los pastores,
y el gemido de los mayorales del rebaño,
porque el Señor está destruyendo sus pastos,
37 y son silenciados los rebaños[n] apacibles(BN)
a causa de la ardiente ira del Señor(BO).
38 Ha dejado como león su guarida,
porque su tierra se ha convertido en horror(BP)
por el furor de la espada opresora[o],
y a causa de su ardiente ira.

Seventy Years of Captivity
25 The word came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon. 2 So Jeremiah the prophet said to all the people of Judah(C) and to all those living in Jerusalem: 3 For twenty-three years—from the thirteenth year of Josiah(D) 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,(E) but you have not listened.(F)
4 And though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets(G) to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention.(H) 5 They said, “Turn(I) now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land(J) the Lord gave to you and your ancestors for ever and ever. 6 Do not follow other gods(K) to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.”
7 “But you did not listen to me,” declares the Lord, “and you have aroused(L) my anger with what your hands have made,(M) and you have brought harm(N) to yourselves.”
8 Therefore the Lord Almighty says this: “Because you have not listened to my words, 9 I will summon(O) all the peoples of the north(P) and my servant(Q) Nebuchadnezzar(R) 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[a](S) them and make them an object of horror and scorn,(T) and an everlasting ruin.(U) 10 I will banish from them the sounds(V) of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom,(W) the sound of millstones(X) and the light of the lamp.(Y) 11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland,(Z) and these nations will serve(AA) the king of Babylon seventy years.(AB)
12 “But when the seventy years(AC) are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon(AD) and his nation, the land of the Babylonians,[b] for their guilt,” declares the Lord, “and will make it desolate(AE) forever. 13 I will bring on that land all the things I have spoken against it, all that are written(AF) in this book and prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations. 14 They themselves will be enslaved(AG) by many nations(AH) and great kings; I will repay(AI) them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”
The Cup of God’s Wrath
15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup(AJ) filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send(AK) you drink it. 16 When they drink(AL) it, they will stagger(AM) and go mad(AN) because of the sword(AO) I will send among them.”
17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent(AP) me drink it: 18 Jerusalem(AQ) and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin(AR) and an object of horror and scorn,(AS) a curse[c](AT)—as they are today;(AU) 19 Pharaoh king(AV) of Egypt,(AW) his attendants, his officials and all his people, 20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz;(AX) all the kings of the Philistines(AY) (those of Ashkelon,(AZ) Gaza,(BA) Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod); 21 Edom,(BB) Moab(BC) and Ammon;(BD) 22 all the kings of Tyre(BE) and Sidon;(BF) the kings of the coastlands(BG) across the sea; 23 Dedan,(BH) Tema,(BI) Buz(BJ) and all who are in distant places[d];(BK) 24 all the kings of Arabia(BL) and all the kings of the foreign people(BM) who live in the wilderness; 25 all the kings of Zimri,(BN) Elam(BO) and Media;(BP) 26 and all the kings of the north,(BQ) near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms(BR) on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshak[e](BS) will drink it too.
27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk(BT) and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword(BU) I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink(BV), tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(BW) on the city that bears my Name,(BX) and will you indeed go unpunished?(BY) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(BZ) on all(CA) who live on the earth,(CB) declares the Lord Almighty.’
30 “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:
“‘The Lord will roar(CC) from on high;
he will thunder(CD) from his holy dwelling(CE)
and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(CF) the grapes,
shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The tumult(CG) will resound to the ends of the earth,
for the Lord will bring charges(CH) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(CI) on all(CJ) mankind
and put the wicked to the sword,(CK)’”
declares the Lord.
32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Look! Disaster(CL) is spreading
from nation to nation;(CM)
a mighty storm(CN) is rising
from the ends of the earth.”(CO)
33 At that time those slain(CP) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(CQ) up or buried,(CR) but will be like dung lying on the ground.
34 Weep and wail, you shepherds;(CS)
roll(CT) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered(CU) has come;
you will fall like the best of the rams.[f](CV)
35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
the leaders of the flock no place to escape.(CW)
36 Hear the cry(CX) of the shepherds,(CY)
the wailing of the leaders of the flock,
for the Lord is destroying their pasture.
37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 Like a lion(CZ) he will leave his lair,
and their land will become desolate(DA)
because of the sword[g] of the oppressor(DB)
and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.(DC)

King James Version
25 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, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
4 And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
5 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 hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
6 And go not 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.
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.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 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 candle.
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
14 For many nations 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.
15 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
17 Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me:
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,
26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.
30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
33 And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
