The Word that came to Jeremias concerning all the people of Juda in the fourth year of Joakim, son of Josias, king of Juda;
This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
which he spoke to all the people of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and all the residents of Jerusalem as follows:
In the thirteenth year of Josias, son of Amos, king of Juda, even until this day for three and twenty years, I have both spoken to you, rising early and speaking,
“From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again (note: Literally I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking,), but you have not listened.
and I sent to you my servants the prophets, sending them early; (but ye hearkened not, and listened not with your ears;) saying,
And the LORD has sent all His servants the prophets to you again and again (note: Literally to you, rising up early and sending (them),), but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear.
Turn ye every one from his evil way, and from your evil practices, and ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers, of old and for ever.
The prophets told you, ‘Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and deeds, and you can dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.
Go ye not after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them, that ye provoke me not by the works of your hands, to do you hurt.
Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’
But ye hearkened not to me.
‘But to your own harm, you have not listened to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so you have provoked Me to anger with the works of your hands.’
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since ye believed not my words,
Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Because you have not obeyed My words,
behold, I [will] send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste, and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach.
behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction (note: Forms of the Hebrew cherem refer to the giving over of things or persons, either by destroying them or by giving them as an offering.) and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.
And I will destroy from [among] them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle.
Moreover, I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years.
And this whole land will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
And when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will take vengeance on that nation, and will make them a perpetual desolation.
But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans (note: That is, the Babylonians), for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it, [even] all things that are written in this book.
I 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.
The Prophecies of Jeremias against the Nations of Ælam.
For 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.’”
Thus saith the Lord, The bow of Ælam is broken, [even] the chief of their power.
This 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.
And I will bring upon Ælam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation [to] which they shall not come—[even] the outcasts of Ælam.
And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
And I will put them in fear before their enemies that seek their life; and I will bring evils upon them according to my great anger; and I will send forth my sword after them, until I have utterly destroyed them.
So 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,
And I will set my throne in Ælam, and will send forth thence king and rulers.
to 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;
But it shall come to pass at the end of days, that I will turn the captivity of Ælam, saith the Lord.
