Jeremiah - ch 25 v 21 - 38
- Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
- and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
- Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners `of their hair' cut off;
- and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness;
- and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
- and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
- And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

- For, lo, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts.
- Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as they that tread `the grapes', against all the inhabitants of the earth.
- A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, saith Jehovah.

- Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow `in ashes', ye principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel.
- And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
- A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock! for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture.
- And the peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.
- He hath left his covert, as the lion; for their land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing `sword', and because of his fierce anger.
