24:025:001 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning
all the people of
Judah
in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king
of
Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king
of
Babylon;
24:025:002 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto
all the people of
Judah,
and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
24:025:003 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the
son of Amon king of
Judah,
even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth
year,
the word of the lord hath come unto me, and I
have
spoken
unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not
hearkened.
24:025:004 And the lord hath sent unto you all
his servants the prophets,
rising
early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened,
nor
inclined
your ear to hear.
24:025:005 They said, Turn ye again now every one
from his evil way, and
from
the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that
the
lord
hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and
ever:
24:025:006 And go not after other gods to serve them,
and to worship
them,
and provoke me not to anger with the works of your
hands;
and I will do you no hurt.
24:025:007 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith
the lord; that ye
might
provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to
your
own
hurt.
24:025:008 Therefore thus saith the lord of hosts;
Because ye have not
heard
my words,
24:025:009 Behold, I will send and take all the families
of the north,
saith
the lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon,
my
servant,
and will bring them against this land, and against
the
inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations
round
about,
and will utterly destroy them, and make them an
astonishment,
and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
24:025:010 Moreover I will take from them the voice
of mirth, and the
voice
of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice
of
the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light
of
the
candle.
24:025:011 And this whole land shall be a desolation,
and an
astonishment;
and these nations shall serve the king of
Babylon
seventy years.
24:025:012 And it shall come to pass, when seventy
years are
accomplished,
that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that
nation,
saith the lord, for their iniquity, and the land
of
the
Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
24:025:013 And I will bring upon that land all my
words which I have
pronounced
against it, even all that is written in this book,
which
Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
