22 “Son of man, you’ve heard that proverb they quote in Israel: ‘Time passes, and prophecies come to nothing.’ 23 Tell the people, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will put an end to this proverb, and you will soon stop quoting it.’ Now give them this new proverb to replace the old one: ‘The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled!’
24 “There will be no more false visions and flattering predictions in Israel. 25 For I am the Lord! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays, you rebels of Israel. I will fulfill my threat of destruction in your own lifetime. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!”
26 Then this message came to me from the Lord: 27 “Son of man, the people of Israel are saying, ‘He’s talking about the distant future. His visions won’t come true for a long, long time.’ 28 Therefore, tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: No more delay! I will now do everything I have threatened. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!’”

New Living Translation
14 Many nations and great kings will enslave the Babylonians, just as they enslaved my people. I will punish them in proportion to the suffering they cause my people.”
The Cup of the Lord’s Anger
15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup filled to the brim with my anger, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it. 16 When they drink from it, they will stagger, crazed by the warfare I will send against them.”
17 So I took the cup of anger from the Lord and made all the nations drink from it—every nation to which the Lord sent me. 18 I went to Jerusalem and the other towns of Judah, and their kings and officials drank from the cup. From that day until this, they have been a desolate ruin, an object of horror, contempt, and cursing. 19 I gave the cup to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials, and all his people, 20 along with all the foreigners living in that land. I also gave it to all the kings of the land of Uz and the kings of the Philistine cities of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what remains of Ashdod. 21 Then I gave the cup to the nations of Edom, Moab, and Ammon, 22 and the kings of Tyre and Sidon, and the kings of the regions across the sea. 23 I gave it to Dedan, Tema, and Buz, and to the people who live in distant places.[a] 24 I gave it to the kings of Arabia, the kings of the nomadic tribes of the desert, 25 and to the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media. 26 And I gave it to the kings of the northern countries, far and near, one after the other—all the kingdoms of the world. And finally, the king of Babylon[b] himself drank from the cup of the Lord’s anger.
27 Then the Lord said to me, “Now tell them, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: Drink from this cup of my anger. Get drunk and vomit; fall to rise no more, for I am sending terrible wars against you.’ 28 And if they refuse to accept the cup, tell them, ‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: You have no choice but to drink from it. 29 I have begun to punish Jerusalem, the city that bears my name. Now should I let you go unpunished? No, you will not escape disaster. I will call for war against all the nations of the earth. I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!’

14 They themselves will be enslaved(A) by many nations(B) and great kings; I will repay(C) them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.”
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(D) filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send(E) you drink it. 16 When they drink(F) it, they will stagger(G) and go mad(H) because of the sword(I) I will send among them.”
17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent(J) me drink it: 18 Jerusalem(K) and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin(L) and an object of horror and scorn,(M) a curse[a](N)—as they are today;(O) 19 Pharaoh king(P) of Egypt,(Q) his attendants, his officials and all his people, 20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz;(R) all the kings of the Philistines(S) (those of Ashkelon,(T) Gaza,(U) Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod); 21 Edom,(V) Moab(W) and Ammon;(X) 22 all the kings of Tyre(Y) and Sidon;(Z) the kings of the coastlands(AA) across the sea; 23 Dedan,(AB) Tema,(AC) Buz(AD) and all who are in distant places[b];(AE) 24 all the kings of Arabia(AF) and all the kings of the foreign people(AG) who live in the wilderness; 25 all the kings of Zimri,(AH) Elam(AI) and Media;(AJ) 26 and all the kings of the north,(AK) near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms(AL) on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshak[c](AM) will drink it too.
27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk(AN) and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword(AO) I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink(AP), tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(AQ) on the city that bears my Name,(AR) and will you indeed go unpunished?(AS) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(AT) on all(AU) who live on the earth,(AV) declares the Lord Almighty.’
