The Cup of God’s Wrath

15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup(A) filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send(B) you drink it. 16 When they drink(C) it, they will stagger(D) and go mad(E) because of the sword(F) I will send among them.”

15 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

31 The tumult(A) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges(B) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(C) on all(D) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,(E)’”
declares the Lord.

32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Look! Disaster(F) is spreading
    from nation to nation;(G)
a mighty storm(H) is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”(I)

33 At that time those slain(J) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(K) up or buried,(L) but will be like dung lying on the ground.

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

32 Thus saith the Lord 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.

33 And the slain of the Lord 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.

27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk(A) and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword(B) I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink(C), tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(D) on the city that bears my Name,(E) and will you indeed go unpunished?(F) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(G) on all(H) who live on the earth,(I) declares the Lord Almighty.’

30 “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:

“‘The Lord will roar(J) from on high;
    he will thunder(K) from his holy dwelling(L)
    and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(M) the grapes,
    shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The tumult(N) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges(O) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(P) on all(Q) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,(R)’”
declares the Lord.

32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Look! Disaster(S) is spreading
    from nation to nation;(T)
a mighty storm(U) is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”(V)

33 At that time those slain(W) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(X) up or buried,(Y) but will be like dung lying on the ground.

27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.

30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

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

32 Thus saith the Lord 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.
