Jeremiah 25:9-29
English Standard Version
9 (A)behold, I will send for all the tribes of the north, declares the Lord, and for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, (B)my servant, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will devote them to destruction, (C)and make them a horror, a hissing, and an everlasting desolation. 10 Moreover, (D)I will banish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, (E)the grinding of the millstones and (F)the light of the lamp. 11 (G)This whole land shall become a ruin and a waste, and (H)these nations shall serve the king of Babylon (I)seventy years. 12 Then after (J)seventy years are completed, (K)I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, (L)the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, declares the Lord, (M)making the land an everlasting waste. 13 I will bring upon that land all the words that I have uttered against it, everything written (N)in this book, which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations. 14 (O)For many nations (P)and great kings shall make slaves even of them, (Q)and I will recompense them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”
The Cup of the Lord's Wrath
15 Thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: (R)“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 (S)the sword that I am sending among them.”
17 So I took the cup from the Lord's hand, (T)and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: 18 (U)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, (V)to make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; 19 (W)Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people, 20 and (X)all the mixed tribes among them; all the kings of (Y)the land of Uz and all the kings of (Z)the land of the Philistines ((AA)Ashkelon, (AB)Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of (AC)Ashdod); 21 (AD)Edom, (AE)Moab, and the sons of (AF)Ammon; 22 all the kings of (AG)Tyre, all the kings of (AH)Sidon, and the kings of the coastland across (AI)the sea; 23 (AJ)Dedan, (AK)Tema, (AL)Buz, and all who cut (AM)the corners of their hair; 24 all the (AN)kings of Arabia and all the kings of (AO)the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert; 25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of (AP)Elam, and all the kings of (AQ)Media; 26 all the kings of (AR)the north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth. And after them the king of (AS)Babylon[a] shall drink.
27 “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (AT)Drink, be drunk and vomit, fall and rise no more, because of (AU)the sword that I am sending among you.’
28 “And if they refuse to accept the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: (AV)You must drink! 29 For behold, (AW)I begin to work disaster at the city that is called by my name, and shall you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, (AX)for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the Lord of hosts.’

The Scroll and the Lamb
5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne (A)a scroll written within and on the back, (B)sealed with seven seals. 2 And (C)I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, 4 and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, (D)the Lion (E)of the tribe of Judah, (F)the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw (G)a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with (H)seven eyes, which are (I)the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. 8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders (J)fell down before the Lamb, (K)each holding a harp, and (L)golden bowls full of incense, (M)which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang (N)a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,

from (Q)every tribe and language and people and nation,

A Vision of a Flying Scroll
5 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying (A)scroll! 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying (B)scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”[a] 3 Then he said to me, “This is (C)the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land. For everyone who (D)steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who (E)swears falsely[b] shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side. 4 I will send it out, declares the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of (F)him who swears falsely by my name. And (G)it shall remain in his house and (H)consume it, both timber and stones.”

Judgment on the Philistines
47 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet (A)concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck down (B)Gaza.
2 “Thus says the Lord:
(C)Behold, waters are rising (D)out of the north,
(E)and shall become an overflowing torrent;
they shall overflow (F)the land and all that fills it,
the city and those who dwell in it.
Men shall cry out,
and every inhabitant of the land shall wail.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions,
(G)at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of their wheels,
the fathers (H)look not back to their children,
so feeble are their hands,
4 because of the day that is coming to destroy
all (I)the Philistines,
to cut off from (J)Tyre and Sidon
every helper that remains.
For the Lord is destroying the Philistines,
(K)the remnant of the coastland of (L)Caphtor.
5 (M)Baldness has come upon Gaza;
(N)Ashkelon has perished.
O remnant of their valley,
(O)how long will you gash yourselves?
6 (P)Ah, sword of the Lord!
How long till you are quiet?
Put yourself into your scabbard;
rest and be still!
7 How can it[a] be quiet
(Q)when the Lord has given it a charge?
Against (R)Ashkelon and against the seashore
(S)he has appointed it.”

Jeremiah 32:30-35
English Standard Version
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight (A)from their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but (B)provoke me to anger (C)by the work of their hands, declares the Lord. 31 This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, (D)so that I will remove it from my sight 32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger—(E)their kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 (F)They have turned to me their back and not their face. And though I have taught them (G)persistently, they have not listened (H)to receive instruction. 34 They set up (I)their abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. 35 They built the high places of Baal (J)in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, (K)to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, (L)though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do (M)this abomination, (N)to cause Judah to sin.

13 In the prophets of (A)Samaria
(B)I saw an unsavory thing:
(C)they prophesied by Baal
(D)and led my people Israel astray.
14 But in the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen a horrible thing:
(E)they commit adultery and walk in lies;
(F)they strengthen the hands of evildoers,
so that no one turns from his evil;
(G)all of them have become like Sodom to me,
(H)and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.”
Jeremiah 3:3-10
English Standard Version
3 (A)Therefore the showers have been withheld,
and the spring rain has not come;
yet you have (B)the forehead of a whore;
you refuse to be ashamed.
4 Have you not just now (C)called to me,
‘My father, you are the friend of my youth—
5 (D)will he be angry forever,
will he be indignant to the end?’
Behold, you have spoken,
but you have done all the evil that you could.”
Faithless Israel Called to Repentance
6 The Lord said to me in the days of (E)King Josiah: “Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, (F)how she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there (G)played the whore? 7 And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous (H)sister Judah saw it. 8 She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, (I)I had sent her away with (J)a decree of divorce. (K)Yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went (L)and played the whore. 9 Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with (M)stone and tree. 10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me (N)with her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”
