28 “And if they refuse to accept the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: (C)You must drink! 29 For behold, (D)I begin to work disaster at the city that is called by my name, and shall you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, (E)for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the Lord of hosts.’

30 “You, therefore, shall prophesy against them all these words, and say to them:

(F)“‘The Lord will roar from on high,
    and from his holy habitation utter his voice;
he will roar mightily against his fold,
    (G)and shout, like those who tread grapes,
    against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 The clamor will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for (H)the Lord has an indictment against the nations;
(I)he is entering into judgment with all flesh,
    and the wicked he will put to the sword,
declares the Lord.’

Behold, disaster is going forth
    from nation to nation,
(J)and a great tempest is stirring
    (K)from the farthest parts of the earth!
