Jeremiah 25:8-20 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

8. Therefore thus saith the Lord of the hosts: Because ye have not heard my words,

9. behold, I will send and take all the families of the north wind, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my slave, and will bring them against this land and against its inhabitants and against all these nations round about and will utterly destroy them and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.

10. And I will cause them to lose 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 lamp.

11. And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment; and these Gentiles shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

12. And it shall come to pass when seventy years are accomplished, that I will visit upon the king of Babylon and upon that people their own evil, said the Lord and upon 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 spoken against it, with all that is written in this book, prophesied by Jeremiah against all the Gentiles.

14. For many Gentiles 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 hath the Lord God of Israel said unto me: Take the wine cup of this fury from my hand and cause all the Gentiles, to whom I send thee, to drink of it.

16. And they shall drink and be moved and become mad, before the sword that I will send among them.

17. Then took I the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the Gentiles to drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me,

18. unto Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah and to its kings and to its princes, that I might place them into desolation, into astonishment, and into hissing, and into a curse, as this day,

19. unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his slaves and to his princes and to all his people,

20. and to all the mingled people and to all the kings of the land of Uz and to all the kings of the land of the Philistines and to Ashkelon and to Gaza and to Ekron and to the remnant of Ashdod,
