Jeremiah 25:6-26

Do not follow other gods to serve them and to bow in worship to them,  and do not anger me by the work of your hands.  Then I will do you no harm. “ ‘But you have not obeyed me’ — this is the LORD’s declaration — ‘with the result that you have angered me by the work of your hands and brought disaster on yourselves.’ “Therefore, this is what the LORD of Armies says: ‘Because you have not obeyed my words, I am going to send for all the families of the north’   — this is the LORD’s declaration — ‘and send for my servant  Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will bring them against this land, against its residents, and against all these surrounding nations, and I will completely destroy them and make them an example of horror  and scorn, and ruins forever.  I will eliminate the sound of joy and gladness from them — the voice of the groom and the bride,  the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp. This whole land will become a desolate ruin, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.  When the seventy years are completed, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation’ — this is the LORD’s declaration — ‘the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, and I will make it a ruin forever.  I will bring on that land all my words I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book that Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations. For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.’ ”  This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand and make all the nations to whom I am sending you drink from it.  They will drink, stagger,  and go out of their minds because of the sword I am sending among them.”  So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations to whom the LORD sent me drink from it. Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah, its kings and its officials, to make them a desolate ruin, an example for scorn and cursing — as it is today; Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officers, his leaders, all his people, and all the mixed peoples; all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of the Philistines — Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod; Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites; all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coasts and islands; Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who clip the hair on their temples;  , all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed peoples who have settled in the desert; all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media; all the kings of the north, both near and far from one another; that is, all the kingdoms of the world throughout the earth. Finally, the king of Sheshak  , will drink after them.
