CHAP. XXV.
1 Ieremiah reprouing the Iewes disobedience to the Prophets, 8 foretelleth the seuenty yeeres captiuitie, 12 and after that, the destruction of Babylon. 15 Vnder the Type of a cup of wine he foresheweth the destruction of all nations. 34 The howling of the Shepheards.
4 And the Lord hath sent vnto you all his seruants the prophets, rising early and sending them, but yee haue not hearkened, nor inclined your eare to heare.4
5 They sayd, Turne yee againe now euery one from his euill way, and from the euil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath giuen vnto you, and to your fathers for euer and euer.5
8 ¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes; Because yee haue not heard my words:
A cup of furie for all nations.
10 Moreouer, I will take from them the voyce of myrth, and the voice of gladnes, the voice of the bridegrome, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the milstones, & the light of the candle.10
12 ¶ And it shall come to passe when seuentie yeeres are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquitie, and the land of the Caldeans, and will make it perpetuall desolations.12
14 For many nations and great kings shall serue themselues of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the workes of their owne hands.14
15 ¶ For thus saith the Lord God of Israel vnto me, Take the wine cup of this furie at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drinke it.15
16 And they shall drinke, and be moued, and be mad, because of the sworde that I will send among them.
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his seruants, and his princes, and all his people:
A cup of furie for all nations.
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon:21
22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the yles which are beyond the sea:22
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the vtmost corners:23
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert:24
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes:25
29 For loe, I begin to bring euill on the citie, which is called by my name, and should yee be vtterly vnpunished? ye shall not be vnpunished: for I will cal for a sword vpon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.29
30 Therefore prophecie thou against them all these wordes, and say vnto them, The Lord shall roare from an high, and vtter his voice from his holy habitation, he shall mightily roare vpon his habitation, hee shall giue a shout, as they that treade the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.30
33 And the slaine of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth euen vnto the other ende of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered nor buried, they shall be doung vpon the ground.33
34 ¶ Howle yee shepheards and cry, and wallow your selues in the ashes ye principall of the flocke: for the dayes of your slaughter, and of your dispersions are accomplished, and yee shall fall like a pleasant vessell.34
35 And the shepheards shall haue no way to flee, nor the principall of the flocke to escape.35
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut downe because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He hath forsaken his couert, as the Lyon: for their land is desolate, because of the fiercenesse of the oppressour, and because of his fierce anger.38

25:20 Of Uz - Some part of Arabia Petraea, near to Idumaea. Of the Philistines - Uzzah, Ekron, Ashdod, and Askelon, were four of their cities, the fifth which was Gath is not here named. For before this time it was destroyed, either by Psammeticus, father to Pharaoh Necho, or by Tartan, captain general to Sargon, king of Assyria, of whom read, #Isa 20:1|, that he took Ashdod, which may be the reason that here mention is made of no more than the remnant of Ashdod.
