Lying Prophets

Concerning the prophets:

    like a man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
    and because of his holy words.

Yet (D)I will quietly wait for the day of trouble
    to come upon people who invade us.

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;

(E)And if I enter the city,
    behold, the diseases of famine!
(F)For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land
    and have no knowledge.’”
