Setenta años de cautiverio
25 Este mensaje del Señor, para todo el pueblo de Judá, le vino a Jeremías durante el cuarto año del reinado de Joacim[a] sobre Judá. Este fue el año en que el rey Nabucodonosor[b] de Babilonia comenzó a reinar.
2 Jeremías el profeta le dijo a todo el pueblo de Judá y de Jerusalén: 3 «Durante los últimos veintitrés años—desde el año trece del reinado de Josías, hijo de Amón,[c] rey de Judá, hasta ahora—el Señor me ha estado dando sus mensajes. Yo se los he comunicado con toda fidelidad, pero ustedes no han querido escuchar.
4 »Una y otra vez, el Señor les ha enviado a sus siervos, los profetas, pero ustedes no escucharon ni prestaron atención. 5 Todas las veces el mensaje fue: “Apártense de su mal camino y de sus malas acciones. Solo entonces los dejaré vivir en esta tierra que el Señor les dio a ustedes y a sus antepasados para siempre. 6 No provoquen mi enojo al rendir culto a ídolos que ustedes hicieron con sus propias manos. Entonces no les haré ningún daño”.
7 »Pero ustedes no querían escucharme—dice el Señor—. Me pusieron furioso al rendir culto a ídolos hechos con sus propias manos y trajeron sobre ustedes todos los desastres que ahora sufren. 8 Ahora el Señor de los Ejércitos Celestiales dice: “Como ustedes no me han escuchado, 9 reuniré a todos los ejércitos del norte bajo el mando de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, a quien nombré mi representante. Los traeré contra esta tierra, contra su gente y contra las naciones vecinas. A ustedes los destruiré por completo[d] y los convertiré en objeto de horror, desprecio y ruina para siempre. 10 Quitaré de ustedes la risa y las canciones alegres. No se oirán más las voces felices de los novios ni de las novias. Las piedras de molino se acallarán y las luces de las casas se apagarán. 11 Toda la tierra se convertirá en una desolada tierra baldía. Israel y las naciones vecinas servirán al rey de Babilonia por setenta años.
12 »”Entonces, después que hayan pasado los setenta años de cautiverio, castigaré al rey de Babilonia y a su pueblo por sus pecados—dice el Señor—. Haré del país de los babilonios[e] una tierra baldía para siempre. 13 Traeré sobre ellos todos los terrores que prometí en este libro, todos los castigos contra las naciones anunciados por Jeremías. 14 Muchas naciones y grandes reyes esclavizarán a los babilonios, así como ellos esclavizaron a mi pueblo. Los castigaré en proporción al sufrimiento que le ocasionaron a mi pueblo”».
La copa del enojo del Señor
15 Esto me dijo el Señor, Dios de Israel: «Toma de mi mano la copa de mi enojo, que está llena hasta el borde, y haz que todas las naciones a las que te envíe beban de ella. 16 Cuando la beban se tambalearán, enloquecidos por la guerra que enviaré contra ellos».
17 Así que tomé la copa del enojo del Señor e hice que todas las naciones bebieran de ella, cada nación a la que el Señor me envió. 18 Fui a Jerusalén y a las otras ciudades de Judá, y sus reyes y funcionarios bebieron de la copa. Desde ese día hasta ahora ellos han sido una ruina desolada, un objeto de horror, desprecio y maldición. 19 Le di la copa al faraón, rey de Egipto, a sus asistentes, a sus funcionarios y a todo su pueblo, 20 junto con todos los extranjeros que vivían en esa tierra. También se la di a todos los reyes de la tierra de Uz, a los reyes de las ciudades filisteas de Ascalón, Gaza y Ecrón, y a lo que queda de Asdod. 21 Después les di la copa a las naciones de Edom, Moab y Amón, 22 a los reyes de Tiro y Sidón, y a los reyes de las regiones al otro lado del mar. 23 Se la di a Dedán, a Tema, a Buz y a la gente que vive en lugares remotos.[f] 24 Se la di a los reyes de Arabia, a los reyes de las tribus nómadas del desierto 25 y a los reyes de Zimri, Elam y Media. 26 Se la di a los reyes de los países del norte, lejanos y cercanos, uno tras otro, es decir, a todos los reinos del mundo. Finalmente, el mismo rey de Babilonia[g] bebió de la copa del enojo del Señor.
27 Entonces el Señor me dijo: «Ahora diles: “Esto dice el Señor de los Ejércitos Celestiales, Dios de Israel: ‘Beban de la copa de mi enojo. Emborráchense y vomiten; caigan para nunca más levantarse, porque envío guerras terribles contra ustedes’”. 28 Ahora bien, si se niegan a aceptar la copa, diles: “El Señor de los Ejércitos Celestiales dice: ‘No les queda más que beberla. 29 He comenzado a castigar a Jerusalén, la ciudad que lleva mi nombre. ¿Acaso los dejaría a ustedes sin castigo? No, no escaparán del desastre. Enviaré guerra contra todas las naciones de la tierra. ¡Yo, el Señor de los Ejércitos Celestiales, he hablado!’”.
30 »Ahora, profetiza todas estas cosas y diles:
»“El Señor rugirá contra su propia tierra
desde su santa morada en el cielo.
Él gritará como los que pisan las uvas;
gritará contra todos los habitantes de la tierra.
31 Su grito de juicio llegará hasta los confines de la tierra,
porque el Señor presentará su caso contra todas las naciones.
Él juzgará a todos los habitantes de la tierra,
y matará con la espada a los perversos.
¡Yo, el Señor, he hablado!”».
32 Esto dice el Señor de los Ejércitos Celestiales:
«¡Miren! ¡Nación tras nación sufrirá calamidades!
¡Se está levantando un gran torbellino de furia
desde los rincones más distantes de la tierra!».
33 En aquel día, los que el Señor haya masacrado llenarán la tierra de un extremo a otro. Nadie llorará por ellos ni juntará sus cuerpos para enterrarlos. Estarán esparcidos sobre el suelo como estiércol.
34 ¡Lloren y giman, pastores malvados!
¡Revuélquense en el polvo, líderes del rebaño!
Ha llegado el momento de su matanza;
ustedes caerán y se harán añicos como vaso frágil.
35 No encontrarán lugar donde esconderse;
no habrá forma de escapar.
36 Escuchen los gritos desesperados de los pastores.
Los líderes del rebaño gimen en su desesperación
porque el Señor está arruinando sus pastos.
37 Debido al gran enojo del Señor,
los prados tranquilos se convertirán en tierra baldía.
38 Él salió de su guarida como un león fuerte en busca de su presa,
y la tierra quedará desolada
por la espada[h] del enemigo
y por la ira feroz del Señor.

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)

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.
