Jeremiah 25 - New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021(NRSVUE)

Jeremiah 25The Babylonian Captivity Foretold

1

10 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;

21 that live in the desert;

25all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media;

26 shall drink.

27

and you shall fall like a choice vessel.

35Flight shall fail the shepherds,

and there shall be no escape for the lords of the flock.

36Listen! The cry of the shepherds

and the wail of the lords of the flock!

For the Lord is despoiling their pasture,

37and the peaceful folds are devastated

because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

38Like a lion he has left his den,

for their land has become a waste

because of the cruel anger

and because of his fierce anger.
