14 But the earth will be filled
    with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
    as the waters cover the sea.(A)

15 “Alas for you who make your neighbors drink,
    pouring out your wrath until they are drunk,
    in order to gaze on their nakedness!”(B)

    will come around to you,
    and shame will come upon your glory!(C)
