Jeremiah 25:15-27

English Standard Version

The Cup of the Lord's Wrath

¹⁵ Thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: ^(A)“Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. ¹⁶ They shall drink and stagger and be crazed because of ^(B)the sword that I am sending among them.”

¹⁷ So I took the cup from the Lord's hand, ^(C)and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: ^18 (D)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, ^(E)to make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; ^19 (F)Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people, ²⁰ and ^(G)all the mixed tribes among them; all the kings of ^(H)the land of Uz and all the kings of ^(I)the land of the Philistines (^(J)Ashkelon, ^(K)Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of ^(L)Ashdod); ^21 (M)Edom, ^(N)Moab, and the sons of ^(O)Ammon; ²² all the kings of ^(P)Tyre, all the kings of ^(Q)Sidon, and the kings of the coastland across ^(R)the sea; ^23 (S)Dedan, ^(T)Tema, ^(U)Buz, and all who cut ^(V)the corners of their hair; ²⁴ all the ^(W)kings of Arabia and all the kings of ^(X)the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert; ²⁵ all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of ^(Y)Elam, and all the kings of ^(Z)Media; ²⁶ all the kings of ^(AA)the north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth. And after them the king of ^(AB)Babylon^[a] shall drink.

²⁷ “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ^(AC)Drink, be drunk and vomit, fall and rise no more, because of ^(AD)the sword that I am sending among you.’
