Chap. XXV. note After the peoples contemning to heare Ieremie, and other Prophets, preaching three & twentie yeares, 8. he denounceth their assured captiuitie seuentie yeares in Babylon: 12. and then the ruine of their enemies. 15. Al which wrath of God, Ieremie forshsweth to the Iewes, 19. and Gentiles. 29. Which shal first happen to Gods proper people: 36. and so extend to al nations: 34. the principal gouerners bewayling their common miserie.

1   The word that was made to Ieremie concerning al the people of Iuda in note the fourth yeare of Ioakim the sonne of Iosias king of Iuda (the same is the first yeare of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon.)

2   Which Ieremie the prophet spake to al the people of Iuda, and to al the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying:

3   From the thirteenth yeare of Iosias, the sonne of Amon king of Iuda vntil this day; this is the three & twentith yeare, the word of our Lord was made to me, and I haue spoken to you rising in the night and speaking, and you haue not heard.

4   And our Lord hath sent al his seruants the prophets, rysing early, and sending and you haue not heard, nor inclined your eares to heare

5   when he said: Returne ye euerie one from his euil way, and from your most wicked cogitations: and you shal dwel in the land, which our Lord hath geuen you, and your fathers from euerlasting & for euermore.

6   And goe ye not after strange goddes to serue them, & adore them: nor prouoke me to wrath in the works of your handes,

-- --

and I wil not afflict you.

7   And you haue not heard me, saith our Lord, so that you prouoked me to anger in the workes of your handes, to your euil.

8   Therfore thus saith the Lord of hostes: For that you haue not heard my wordes:

9   behold I wil send, and take al the kinreds of the North, saith our Lord, and Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon note my seruant: and I wil bring them vpon this land, and vpon the inhabitants thereof, and vpon al the nations that are round about it: and I wil kil them, and make them into astonishment and hyssing, and into euerlasting desolations.

10   And I wil destroy out of them the voice of ioy, and the voice of gladnes, the voice of the bridegroome, and the voice of the bride, the noise of the mil, and the light of the lampe.

11   And al this land shal be in desolation, and into astonishment: and al these nations shal serue the king of Bebylon note seuentie yeares.

12   And when the seuentie yeares shal be expired, I wil visite vpon the king of Babylon, and vpon that nation, saith our Lord, their iniquitie, and vpon the land of Chaldees: and I wil make it into euerlasting desolations.

13   And I wil bring vpon that land al my wordes, that I haue spoken against it, al that is written in this booke, whatsoeuer Ieremie hath prophecied against al nations:

14   because they haue serued them, whereas they were manie nations, & great kinges: and I wil repay them according to their workes, and according to the deedes of their handes.

15   Because thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel: Take note the cuppe of wine of this furie at my hand: & thou shalt drinke thereof to al nations, vnto the which I shal send thee.

16   And they shal drinke, and be trubled, and be madde at the face of the sword, which I shal send among them.

17   And I tooke the cuppe at the hand of our Lord, and I dranke to al the nations, to which our Lord sent me:

18   to Ierusalem, and the cities of Iuda, and to the kinges thereof, & princes thereof: that I would geue them into desolation, and into astonishment, and into hissing, and into malediction, as is this day.

19   To Pharao the king of Ægypt, and to his seruants, and his princes, & al his people,

20   and to al generally: to al the kinges of the land of Ausitis, and to al the kinges of the land of the Philisthijms, and of Ascalon, and of Gaza, and of Accaron, and to the remnant of Azotus,

21   and of Idumea, and of Moab, and to the children of Ammon.

22   And to al the kinges of Tyre, and to al the kinges of Sidon: and to the

-- --

kinges of the land of the iles, who are beyond the Sea.

23   And to Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and to al note that haue their heare powled.

24   And to al the kinges of Arabia, and to al the kinges of the West, that dwel in the desert.

25   And to al the kinges of Zambri, and to al the kinges of Elam, and to al the kinges of the Medes:

26   also to al the kinges of the North from neere and from a farre of: to euerie one against his brother: and to al the kingdomes of the earth, which are vpon the face thereof: and the king of Sefac shal drinke after them.

27   And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel: Drinke ye, and be drunken, & vomite: and fal, and rise not, at the face of the sword, which I shal send among you.

28   And when they shal not take the cuppe of thy hand to drinke, thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hostes: Drinking you shal drinke:

29   because loe in the citie, wherein my name is inuocated, wil I beginne to afflict, and shal you be as innocent and scape free? you shal not scape free: for I cal the sword vpon al the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hostes.

30   And thou shalt prophecie vnto them al these wordes, and shalt say to them: Our Lord from on high shal roare, and from his holie habitation shal geue his voice: roaring he shal roare vpon his beautie: the crie as it were of them that note tread grapes shal be sung against al the inhabitants of the earth.

31   The sound is come euen to the endes of the earth: because there is iudgement to our Lord with the Nations: he entreth iudgement with al flesh, the impious I haue deliuered to the sword, saith our Lord.

32   Thus saith the Lord of hostes: Behold, affliction shal go forth from nation to nation: & a great whirlewind shal goe forth from the endes of the earth.

33   And the slaine of our Lord shal be in that day from the one end of the earth euen to the other end thereof: they shal not be mourned, and they shal not be gathered vp, nor buried: as a dunghil shal they lie vpon the face of the earth.

34   Howle ye pastoures, and crie: and sprinkle your selues with ashes ye leaders of the flocke: because your daies are accomplished, to be slaine: and your dissipations, and you shal fal as precious vessels.

35   And flight shal faile from the pastours, and saluation from the principals of the flocke.

36   A voice of the crie of the pastoures, and an howling of the principals of the flocke: because our Lord hath wasted their pastures.

37   And the fieldes of peace haue bene silent at the

-- --

presence of the wrath of the furie of our Lord.

38   He hath as a lyon forsaken his couert, because their land is made into desolation at the presence of the wrath of note the doue, and at the presence of the wrath of the furie of our Lord.
