The Cup of the Lord's Wrath

15 Thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: (A)“Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16 They shall drink and stagger and be crazed because of (B)the sword that I am sending among them.”

17 So I took the cup from the Lord's hand, (C)and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: 18 (D)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, (E)to make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; 19 (F)Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people,

17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent(G) me drink it: 18 Jerusalem(H) and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin(I) and an object of horror and scorn,(J) a curse[a](K)—as they are today;(L) 19 Pharaoh king(M) of Egypt,(N) his attendants, his officials and all his people,

  1. Jeremiah 25:18 That is, their names to be used in cursing (see 29:22); or, to be seen by others as cursed

(A)Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, (B)my servant, (C)and I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him. (D)All the nations shall serve him and (E)his son and (F)his grandson, (G)until the time of his own land comes. (H)Then many nations and great kings shall make him their slave.

“‘“But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, (I)and put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation (J)with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, declares the Lord, until I have consumed it by his hand. So (K)do not listen to your (L)prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your (M)fortune-tellers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’ 10 (N)For it is a lie that they are prophesying to you, with the result that you will be removed far from your land, and I will drive you out, and you will perish. 11 (O)But any nation that will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave on its own land, to work it and dwell there, declares the Lord.”’”

Now I will give all your countries into the hands of my servant(A) Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon; I will make even the wild animals subject to him.(C) All nations will serve(D) him and his son and his grandson until the time(E) for his land comes; then many nations and great kings will subjugate(F) him.

“‘“If, however, any nation or kingdom will not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon or bow its neck under his yoke, I will punish(G) that nation with the sword,(H) famine(I) and plague,(J) declares the Lord, until I destroy it by his hand. So do not listen to your prophets,(K) your diviners,(L) your interpreters of dreams,(M) your mediums(N) or your sorcerers(O) who tell you, ‘You will not serve(P) the king of Babylon.’ 10 They prophesy lies(Q) to you that will only serve to remove(R) you far from your lands; I will banish you and you will perish. 11 But if any nation will bow its neck under the yoke(S) of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let that nation remain in its own land to till it and to live(T) there, declares the Lord.”’”
