27 Then say to them: The Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: Drink this seething cup of wine and get drunk. Vomit and collapse and don’t get up again because of the sword that I’m thrusting into you. 28 If they refuse to take the cup in your hand and drink from it, tell them: This is what the Lord of heavenly forces says: You must drink! 29 Look! I’m bringing disaster upon the city that bears my name; how then will you escape unpunished? You will not! I’m summoning the sword against everyone on earth, declares the Lord of heavenly forces.

30 Now prophesy all these things and say to them:
The Lord roars on high;
    from his holy place he thunders.
He roars fiercely against his flock,
    like the shouting of those who tread on grapes,
        against everyone on earth.
31 The uproar is heard far and wide,
    because the Lord is bringing a lawsuit against the nations.
        He’s entering into judgment with all people,
            sentencing the guilty to death,
                declares the Lord.
32 The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims:
Look! Disaster travels from nation to nation.
    A terrible storm comes from the far ends of the earth.
