Jeremiah 25:26-29
English Standard Version
26 all the kings of (A)the north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth. And after them the king of (B)Babylon[a] shall drink.
27 “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (C)Drink, be drunk and vomit, fall and rise no more, because of (D)the sword that I am sending among you.’
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: (E)You must drink! 29 For behold, (F)I begin to work disaster at the city that is called by my name, and shall you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, (G)for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the Lord of hosts.’
