Juicio de Judá y Babilonia
25 Palabra que recibió Jeremías relativa a todo el pueblo de Judá, el año cuarto del reinado de Joaquín, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá. Era el año primero de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia. 2 El profeta Jeremías se la comunicó a todo el pueblo de Judá y a todos los habitantes de Jerusalén, en estos términos:
3 — Desde el año décimo tercero de Josías, hijo de Amón, rey de Judá, hasta el día de hoy (veintitrés años en total) he recibido la palabra del Señor y se la he comunicado a ustedes día tras día, pero no han escuchado. 4 También el Señor les ha enviado puntualmente a sus siervos los profetas, pero ustedes no escucharon ni se esforzaron por escuchar. 5 Les decían: “Si cada cual abandona su mala conducta y sus malas acciones, volverá a la tierra que el Señor les dio a ustedes y a sus antepasados, desde siempre y para siempre. 6 No vayan detrás de dioses extranjeros, sirviéndolos y adorándolos, y no me irriten con sus obras; así tampoco los trataré mal”. 7 Pero, para su desgracia, no me escucharon —oráculo del Señor— y siguieron irritándome con sus obras. 8 Por eso, así dice el Señor del universo: Por no haber escuchado mis palabras, 9 mandaré a buscar a todas las tribus del norte —oráculo del Señor— y a mi siervo Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y los traeré contra esta tierra y sus habitantes, y contra todos los pueblos de alrededor a los que consagraré al exterminio y convertiré en objeto de horror y burla, y en desolación perpetua. 10 Pondré fin a las voces alegres de fiesta, a las canciones del novio y de la novia, al ruido del molino y a la luz de la lámpara. 11 Y todo este país se convertirá en ruina y desolación, y los pueblos de alrededor servirán al rey de Babilonia durante setenta años. 12 Cuando se cumplan los setenta años, pediré cuentas al rey de Babilonia y a aquella nación —oráculo del Señor— por todos sus crímenes, y convertiré el país de los caldeos en desolación perpetua. 13 Haré que se cumplan contra aquel país todas las palabras que pronuncié contra ellos, todo lo escrito en este libro, el de las profecías de Jeremías contra todas las naciones. 14 También ellos estarán esclavizados a numerosas naciones y a reyes poderosos; les pagaré conforme a sus acciones, a lo que hayan realizado.
Juicio de los paganos
15 Así me dijo el Señor, Dios de Israel:
— Toma esta copa del vino de la cólera que te doy, y házsela beber a todas las naciones adonde voy a enviarte. 16 Beberán, se tambalearán y se comportarán como locos ante la espada que voy a lanzar en medio de ellos.
17 Tomé la copa que me daba el Señor y se la hice beber a todas las naciones a las que me envió el Señor: 18 a Jerusalén, a las ciudades de Judá, a sus reyes y dignatarios, para convertirlos en ruina y desolación, en motivo de burla y maldición [como ocurre hasta el presente]. 19 Se la di también a beber al faraón, rey de Egipto, a sus cortesanos y dignatarios, a todo su pueblo 20 y a sus mercenarios; a todos los reyes del país de Us, y a los reyes de territorio filisteo: Ascalón, Gaza, Ecrón y lo que queda de Asdod; 21 a Edom, a Moab y a los amonitas; 22 a todos los reyes de Tiro y de Sidón, y a los reyes de las costas de ultramar; 23 a Dedán, Temá y Buz, y a todos los que se afeitan las sienes; 24 a todos los reyes de Arabia y de las distintas razas que viven en la estepa; 25 a todos los reyes de Zimrí, de Elam y de Media; 26 a todos los reyes del norte, cercanos y lejanos, uno detrás de otro, y a todos los reinos de la superficie de la tierra. Y cuando acaben ellos, beberá el rey de Sisac. 27 También les dirás: “Así dice el Señor del universo, Dios de Israel: Beban, emborráchense, vomiten y caigan para no levantarse ante la espada que voy a lanzar en medio de ustedes”. 28 Y, si se niegan a aceptar la copa que les ofreces para beber, les dirás: “Así dice el Señor del universo: Tienen que beber, 29 pues si voy a empezar el castigo por la ciudad que lleva mi nombre, ¿creen que ustedes van a quedar impunes? No quedarán impunes, pues voy a convocar a la espada para que acabe con todos los habitantes de la tierra” —oráculo del Señor del universo—.
Dos oráculos contra las naciones
30 Tú profetízales lo siguiente. Les dirás:
El Señor ruge desde lo alto,
clama desde su santa morada;
ruge sin parar contra su pastizal,
grita como los pisadores de uva
contra todos los habitantes del país.
31 Resuena el vocerío hasta el confín de la tierra:
tiene el Señor un pleito con los paganos,
viene a juzgar a todo ser viviente,
entregará a los malvados a la espada
—oráculo del Señor—.
32 Así dice el Señor del universo:
La desgracia va pasando
de una a otra nación;
un violento huracán se moviliza
desde los extremos de la tierra.
33 Aquel día las víctimas del Señor llegarán de un extremo al otro de la tierra. Nadie les hará duelo ni los enterrará. Servirán de estiércol sobre el campo.
34 Griten, pastores, y den ayes,
revuélquense, mayorales del ganado,
que ha llegado el tiempo de la matanza,
el tiempo de su dispersión;
caerán como carneros cebados.
35 Los pastores se quedarán sin refugio,
no escaparán los mayorales del ganado.
36 Ya se oye el grito de los pastores,
el llanto de los mayorales del ganado,
pues el Señor destruye sus pastos.
37 Enmudecen las fértiles praderas
ante la cólera ardiente del Señor.
38 Abandona como un león su guarida,
porque su tierra sólo es desolación
ante el incendio devastador,
ante el incendio de su cólera.

Seventy Years of Captivity
25 The word came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon. 2 So Jeremiah the prophet said to all the people of Judah(C) and to all those living in Jerusalem: 3 For twenty-three years—from the thirteenth year of Josiah(D) son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—the word of the Lord has come to me and I have spoken to you again and again,(E) but you have not listened.(F)
4 And though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets(G) to you again and again, you have not listened or paid any attention.(H) 5 They said, “Turn(I) now, each of you, from your evil ways and your evil practices, and you can stay in the land(J) the Lord gave to you and your ancestors for ever and ever. 6 Do not follow other gods(K) to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.”
7 “But you did not listen to me,” declares the Lord, “and you have aroused(L) my anger with what your hands have made,(M) and you have brought harm(N) to yourselves.”
8 Therefore the Lord Almighty says this: “Because you have not listened to my words, 9 I will summon(O) all the peoples of the north(P) and my servant(Q) Nebuchadnezzar(R) king of Babylon,” declares the Lord, “and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy[a](S) them and make them an object of horror and scorn,(T) and an everlasting ruin.(U) 10 I will banish from them the sounds(V) of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom,(W) the sound of millstones(X) and the light of the lamp.(Y) 11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland,(Z) and these nations will serve(AA) the king of Babylon seventy years.(AB)
12 “But when the seventy years(AC) are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon(AD) and his nation, the land of the Babylonians,[b] for their guilt,” declares the Lord, “and will make it desolate(AE) forever. 13 I will bring on that land all the things I have spoken against it, all that are written(AF) in this book and prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations. 14 They themselves will be enslaved(AG) by many nations(AH) and great kings; I will repay(AI) them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”
The Cup of God’s Wrath
15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup(AJ) filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send(AK) you drink it. 16 When they drink(AL) it, they will stagger(AM) and go mad(AN) because of the sword(AO) I will send among them.”
17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent(AP) me drink it: 18 Jerusalem(AQ) and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin(AR) and an object of horror and scorn,(AS) a curse[c](AT)—as they are today;(AU) 19 Pharaoh king(AV) of Egypt,(AW) his attendants, his officials and all his people, 20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz;(AX) all the kings of the Philistines(AY) (those of Ashkelon,(AZ) Gaza,(BA) Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod); 21 Edom,(BB) Moab(BC) and Ammon;(BD) 22 all the kings of Tyre(BE) and Sidon;(BF) the kings of the coastlands(BG) across the sea; 23 Dedan,(BH) Tema,(BI) Buz(BJ) and all who are in distant places[d];(BK) 24 all the kings of Arabia(BL) and all the kings of the foreign people(BM) who live in the wilderness; 25 all the kings of Zimri,(BN) Elam(BO) and Media;(BP) 26 and all the kings of the north,(BQ) near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms(BR) on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshak[e](BS) will drink it too.
27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk(BT) and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword(BU) I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink(BV), tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(BW) on the city that bears my Name,(BX) and will you indeed go unpunished?(BY) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(BZ) on all(CA) who live on the earth,(CB) declares the Lord Almighty.’
30 “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:
“‘The Lord will roar(CC) from on high;
he will thunder(CD) from his holy dwelling(CE)
and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(CF) the grapes,
shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The tumult(CG) will resound to the ends of the earth,
for the Lord will bring charges(CH) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(CI) on all(CJ) mankind
and put the wicked to the sword,(CK)’”
declares the Lord.
32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Look! Disaster(CL) is spreading
from nation to nation;(CM)
a mighty storm(CN) is rising
from the ends of the earth.”(CO)
33 At that time those slain(CP) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(CQ) up or buried,(CR) but will be like dung lying on the ground.
34 Weep and wail, you shepherds;(CS)
roll(CT) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered(CU) has come;
you will fall like the best of the rams.[f](CV)
35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
the leaders of the flock no place to escape.(CW)
36 Hear the cry(CX) of the shepherds,(CY)
the wailing of the leaders of the flock,
for the Lord is destroying their pasture.
37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 Like a lion(CZ) he will leave his lair,
and their land will become desolate(DA)
because of the sword[g] of the oppressor(DB)
and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.(DC)

King James Version
25 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;
2 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
3 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.
4 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.
5 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:
6 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.
7 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.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
9 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.
10 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.
11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 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.
13 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.
14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
15 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, 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, unto whom the Lord had sent me:
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and 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 upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on 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 the Lord of hosts.
30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
33 And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
