⁷ Babylon was a gold cup^(A) in the Lord’s hand;
    she made the whole earth drunk.
The nations drank her wine;
    therefore they have now gone mad.

⁸ In the hand of the Lord is a cup
    full of foaming wine mixed^(A) with spices;
he pours it out, and all the wicked of the earth
    drink it down to its very dregs.^(B)

⁶ On the wicked he will rain
    fiery coals and burning sulfur;^(A)
    a scorching wind^(B) will be their lot.
