The word H1697 that came H1961 to Jeremiah H3414 concerning H5921 all H3605 the people H5971 of Judah H3063 in the fourth H7243 year H8141 of Jehoiakim H3079 the son H1121 of Josiah H2977, king H4428 of Judah H3063 (that was the first H7224 year H8141 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894),
‘Then it will be when seventy H7657 years H8141 are fulfilled H4390, that I will punish H6485 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 and that nation H1471,’ declares H5002 Yahweh H3068, ‘for their iniquity H5771, even the land H776 of the Chaldeans H3778; and I will make H7760 it an everlasting H5769 desolation H8077.
“Therefore you shall prophesy H5012 against H413 them all H3605 these H428 words H1697, and you shall say H559 to them,
‘Yahweh H3068 will roar H7580 from on high H4791
And give H5414 forth His voice H6963 from His holy H6944 habitation H4583;
He will roar H7580 mightily H7580 against H5921 His [fn]pasture H5116.
He will bellow H6030 a shout H1959 like those who tread H1869 the grapes,
Against H413 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of the earth H776.
‘A rumbling H7588 has come H935 to the end H7097 of the earth H776
Because H3588 Yahweh H3068 has a contention H7379 against the nations H1471.
He is entering H8199 into H8199 judgment H8199 with all H3605 flesh H1320;
As for the wicked H7563, He has given H5414 them to the sword H2719,’ declares H5002 Yahweh H3068.”
