astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

pronounced against it,
even

be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

ORD
’S

Jerusalem,

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.

to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall

his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread
the grapes,
against all the inhabitants of the
earth.

A noise shall come
even
to the ends of the earth; for the L
ORD
hath a controversy with the
nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them
that are
wicked to the sword, saith the L
ORD
.

ORD
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.

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.
