14 But the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Yahweh’s glory
    like the water covers the sea.

15 “‘How horrible it will be for the one who makes his neighbor drink
    from the bowl of God’s rage,
        making him drunk in order to stare at his nakedness.’
16 You are filled with disgrace rather than glory.
    Drink! Yes you! And expose yourself as godless.
        The cup in Yahweh’s right hand will come around to you,
            and disgrace will cover your glory.

15 “Woe to him who gives drink(C) to his neighbors,
    pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
    so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
16 You will be filled with shame(D) instead of glory.(E)
    Now it is your turn! Drink(F) and let your nakedness be exposed[a]!(G)
The cup(H) from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,
    and disgrace will cover your glory.
