Jeremiah 25:32-38
The Message
Jeremiah 25:32-38
The Message
32 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:
“Prepare for the worst! Doomsday!
Disaster is spreading from nation to nation.
A huge storm is about to rage
all across planet Earth.”
* * *
33 Laid end to end, those killed in God’s judgment that day will stretch from one end of the earth to the other. No tears will be shed and no burials conducted. The bodies will be left where they fall, like so much horse dung fertilizing the fields.
* * *
34-38 Wail, shepherds! Cry out for help!
Grovel in the dirt, you masters of flocks!
Time’s up—you’re slated for the slaughterhouse,
like a choice ram with its throat cut.
There’s no way out for the rulers,
no escape for those shepherds.
Hear that? Rulers crying for help,
shepherds of the flock wailing!
God is about to ravage their fine pastures.
The peaceful sheepfolds will be silent with death,
silenced by God’s deadly anger.
God will come out into the open
like a lion leaping from its cover,
And the country will be torn to pieces,
ripped and ravaged by his anger.
Jeremiah 25:32-34
New International Version
Jeremiah 25:32-34
New International Version
32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Look! Disaster(A) is spreading
from nation to nation;(B)
a mighty storm(C) is rising
from the ends of the earth.”(D)
33 At that time those slain(E) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(F) up or buried,(G) but will be like dung lying on the ground.
