JEREMIAH 25:28–26:5 God’s controversy with nations. His war 1000
puke and fall so that YOU cannot
get up a because of the sword
that I am sending among YOU.”’ b
28 And it must occur that in
case they refuse to take the cup
out of your hand to drink, you
must also say to them, ‘This is
what Jehovah of armies has said:
“YOU will drink without fail. c
29 For, look! it is upon the city
upon which my name is called
that I am starting off in bringing
calamity, d and should YOU yourselves
in any way go free of punishment?”
’ e
“‘YOU will not go free of punishment,
for there is a sword that
I am calling against all the inhabitants
of the earth,’ is the utterance
of Jehovah of armies.
30 “And as for you, you will
prophesy to them all these
words, and you must say to them,
‘From on high Jehovah himself
will roar, f and from his holy
dwelling he will give forth his
voice. g Without fail he will roar
upon his abiding place. A shout
like that of those treading the
winepress he will sing out
against all the inhabitants of the
earth.’ h
31 “ ‘A noise will certainly
come clear to the farthest part
of the earth, for there is a controversy
that Jehovah has with
the nations. i He must personally
put himself in judgment with
all flesh. j As regards the wicked
ones, he must give them to the
sword,’ k is the utterance of Jehovah.
32 “This is what Jehovah of
armies has said, ‘Look! A calamity
is going forth from nation to
nation, l and a great tempest itself
will be roused up from the
remotest parts of the earth. m
33 And those slain by Jehovah
will certainly come to be in that
day from one end of the earth
clear to the other end of the
earth. n They will not be bewailed,
neither will they be gathered
up or be buried. o As manure

34 “Howl, YOU shepherds, and
cry out! b And wallow about, c YOU
majestic ones of the flock, d because
YOUR days for slaughtering
and for YOUR scatterings have
been fulfilled, e and YOU must fall
like a desirable vessel! f 35 And
a place to flee to has perished
from the shepherds, and a means
of escape from the majestic ones
of the flock. g 36 Listen! The
outcry of the shepherds, and the
howling of the majestic ones of
the flock, for Jehovah is despoiling
their pasturage. 37 And
the peaceful abiding places have
been rendered lifeless because of
the burning anger of Jehovah. h
38 He has left his covert just like
a maned young lion, i for their
land has become an object of astonishment
because of the maltreating
sword and because of
his burning anger.” j

In the beginning of the
royal rule of Je·hoia·kim k
the son of Jo·siah, the king of Judah,
this word occurred from Jehovah,
saying: 2 “This is what
Jehovah has said, ‘Stand in the
courtyard of the house of Jehovah,
l and you must speak concerning
all the cities of Judah
that are coming in to bow down
at the house of Jehovah all the
words that I will command you
to speak to them. m Do not take
away a word. n 3 Perhaps they
will listen and return, each one
from his bad way, o and I shall
have to feel regret for the calamity
that I am thinking to execute
upon them because of the badness
of their dealings. p 4 And
you must say to them: “This is
what Jehovah has said, ‘If YOU
will not listen to me by walking
in my law q that I have put before
YOU, r 5 by listening to the
words of my servants the prophets,
whom I am sending to YOU,
even rising up early and sending
them, whom YOU have not lis-
