Yirmeyah 25:11-21 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these Goyim shall serve Melech Bavel shiv'im shanah (seventy years). [T.N. Note: length of Exile predicted here.]

12. And it shall come to pass, when shiv'im shanah are accomplished, that I will punish Melech Bavel, and that nation, saith Hashem, for their avon, and the Eretz Kasdim (Land of Chaldeans), and will make it perpetual desolations.

13. And I will bring upon that land all My Devarim which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this sefer, which Yirmeyah hath prophesied against kol HaGoyim.

14. For Goyim rabbim and melachim gedolim shall enslave them also; I will recompense them according to their deeds, according to the ma'aseh of their own hands.

15. For thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel unto me, Take this kos hayayin haChemah (wine cup of wrath, see Lk 22:42) from My yad, and cause kol HaGoyim, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

16. And they shall drink, and stagger, and go mad, because of the cherev that I will send among them.

17. Then took I the Kos from the yad Hashem, and made all the Goyim to drink, unto whom Hashem had sent me;

18. Namely, Yerushalayim, and the towns of Yehudah, and the melachim thereof, and the sarim thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a kelalah (curse); as it is this day;

19. Pharaoh Melech Mitzrayim, and his avadim, and his sarim and all his people;

20. And all the mixed multitude rabble, and kol melachim of Eretz Utz, and kol melachim of Eretz Pelishtim, and Ashkelon, and Azzah (Gaza), and Ekron, and the she'erit (remnant) of Ashdod,

21. Edom, and Moav, and the Bnei Ammon,
