15 For thus the Lord, the God of Israel, says to me, “Take this (A)cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it. 16 They will (B)drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them.”

17 Then I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and (C)made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: 18 (D)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and its kings and its princes, to make them a ruin, a horror, a hissing and a curse, as it is this day; 19 (E)Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes and all his people; 20 and all the [a](F)foreign people, all the kings of the (G)land of Uz, all the kings of the land of the (H)Philistines (even Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and the remnant of (I)Ashdod); 21 (J)Edom, (K)Moab and the sons of (L)Ammon; 22 and all the kings of (M)Tyre, all the kings of Sidon and the kings of (N)the coastlands which are beyond the sea; 23 and (O)Dedan, Tema, (P)Buz and all who (Q)cut the corners of their hair; 24 and all the kings of (R)Arabia and all the kings of the [b](S)foreign people who dwell in the desert; 25 and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of (T)Elam and all the kings of (U)Media; 26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one with another; and (V)all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the ground, and the king of [c](W)Sheshach shall drink after them.
