Jeremiah 25:12-26

“ ‘Then, after seventy years, I will punish the king of Babylon and the land of the Chaldeans for their sin,’ declares YAHWEH. ‘I will make their land desolate forever. I will bring against that land all my words of warning that I have spoken against it, everything written in this scroll, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations. Indeed, I will pay back the Babylonians for every wrong they have done. Great kings from many other nations will conquer the mighty Babylonians and will even make slaves of them.’ ” YAHWEH, Israel’s God, spoke these words to me: “Jeremiah, take this cup from my hand; it is the cup of the wine of my wrath. Make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it. They will stagger as drunkards and lose their minds because of the massacres I am sending among them.” So I took the cup from YAHWEH’s hand and made all the nations to whom YAHWEH sent me drink from it. I started with Jerusalem and the cities of Judah. Their kings and leaders were removed from power in disgrace and made an object of horror, derision, and a curse, as they are today. Then I went to Egypt to her king, Pharaoh, his officials, his leaders, and all the Egyptians, and all foreigners who lived there, and they, too, drank from the cup. Next, I went to all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the territory of the Philistines, of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what was still left of Ashdod. Then, I went to the kings of Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites; the kings of Tyre, the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the Mediterranean lands. Afterward, I went to the cities of Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all the desert tribes of Arabia, all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people groups who live in the desert, all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media, all the kings of the north, near and far, one after another, to all the kingdoms of the earth. As for the king of Babylon, he will drink from the cup last of all.
