(Jeremiah 25:15-17) For this is what Jehovah the God of Israel said to me: “Take this cup of the wine of rage out of my hand, and you must make all the nations to whom I am sending you drink it. 16And they must drink and shake back and forth and act like crazed men because of the sword that I am sending among them.” 17And I proceeded to take the cup out of the hand of Jehovah and to make all the nations drink to whom Jehovah had sent me: (Jeremiah 25:21) E′dom and Mo′ab and the sons of Am′mon; (Jeremiah 27:1-7) In the beginning of the kingdom of Je·hoi′a·kim the son of Jo·si′ah, the king of Judah, this word occurred to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying: 2“This is what Jehovah has said to me, ‘Make for yourself bands and yoke bars, and you must put them upon your neck. 3And you must send them to the king of E′dom and to the king of Mo′ab and to the king of the sons of Am′mon and to the king of Tyre and to the king of Si′don by the hand of the messengers who are coming to Jerusalem to Zed·e·ki′ah the king of Judah. 4And you must give them a command for their masters, saying: “‘“This is what Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel, has said; this is what YOU should say to YOUR masters, 5‘I myself have made the earth, mankind and the beasts that are upon the surface of the earth by my great power and by my stretched-out arm; and I have given it to whom it has proved right in my eyes. 6And now I myself have given all these lands into the hand of Neb·u·chad·nez′zar the king of Babylon, my servant; and even the wild beasts of the field I have given him to serve him. 7And all the nations must serve even him and his son and his grandson until the time even of his own land comes, and many nations and great kings must exploit him as a servant.’
