Jeremiah 25:6-9
25:6 Do not pay allegiance to
other gods and worship and serve them. Do not make me angry by the things that you do.
Then I will not cause you any harm.’
25:7 So, now the
Lord says,
‘You have not listened to me. But
you have made me angry by the things that you have done.
Thus you have brought harm on yourselves.’
25:8 “Therefore, the Lord who rules over all says, ‘You have not listened to what I said.
25:9 So I, the Lord, affirm that I will send for all the peoples of the north and my servant, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and all the nations that surround it. I will utterly destroy this land, its inhabitants, and all the nations that surround it and make them everlasting ruins. I will make them objects of horror and hissing scorn.
