Jeremiah 25:12-26

¹²But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.

¹³I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

¹⁴For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”

¹⁵This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it.

¹⁶And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”

¹⁷So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,

¹⁸to make them a ruin, an object of horror and contempt and cursing, as they are to this day — Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials;

¹⁹Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;

²⁰all the mixed tribes; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

²¹Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;

²²all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea;

²³Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;

²⁴all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert;

²⁵all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;

²⁶all the kings of the north, both near and far, one after another — all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshach will drink it too.
