Jeremiah 25:12-26 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

12. “It will happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation,” says the Lord, “for their iniquity. I will make the land of the Kasdim desolate forever.

13. I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

14. For many nations and great kings will make bondservants of them, even of them. I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.”

15. For the Lord, the God of Israel, says to me: “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.

16. They will drink, and reel back and forth, and be insane, because of the sword that I will send among them.”

17. Then took I the cup at the Lord’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the Lord had sent me:

18. Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, with its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is today;

19. Pharaoh king of Egypt, with his servants, his princes, and all his people;

20. and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, all the kings of the Philistines, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

21. Edom, Moab, and the children of Ammon;

22. and all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;

23. Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;

24. and all the kings of Arabia, all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness;

25. and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

26. and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth. The king of Sheshach will drink after them.
