Jeremiah 25:12

Compare all

10 Moreover I will take from them the ^avoice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, ^bthe sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.

11 And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy ^ayears.

12 ‘Then it will come to pass, ^awhen seventy years are completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity,’ says the Lord; ^b‘and I will make it a perpetual desolation.

13 So I will bring on that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.

14 ^a(For many nations ^band great kings shall ^cbe served by them also; ^dand I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands.)’ ”

Judgment on the Nations

15 For thus says the Lord God of Israel to me: “Take this ^awine cup of fury from My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.

16 And ^athey will drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them.”

Jeremiah 25:12

And that nation - haggoi hahu . Dr. Blayney contends that this should be translated his nation, and that hahu is the substantive pronoun used in the genitive case. It is certainly more clear and definite to read, "I will punish the king of Babylon, and His nation."

Will make it perpetual desolations - See the note on Isaiah 13:19, where the fulfillment of this prophecy is distinctly marked.
