27 “You shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “(A)Drink, be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more because of the (B)sword which I will send among you.”’ 28 And it will be, if they (C)refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you will say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts: “(D)You shall surely drink! 29 For behold, I am (E)beginning to bring evil against this city which is (F)called by My name. But shall you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment, for (G)I am calling for a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares Yahweh of hosts.’

30 “Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them,

(H)Yahweh will (I)roar from on high
And give forth His voice from His holy habitation;
He will roar mightily against His [a]pasture.
He will bellow a shout like those who tread the grapes,
Against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A rumbling has come to the end of the earth
Because Yahweh has (J)a contention against the nations.
He is entering into (K)judgment with all flesh;
As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,’ declares Yahweh.”

32 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,

“Behold, evil is going forth
From (L)nation to nation,
And a great (M)storm is being stirred up
From the remotest parts of the earth.

  1. Jeremiah 25:30 Or habitation

27 You are to tell them that this is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Drink and get drunk. Vomit! Fall and rise no more, because of the sword I will send among you.” 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, then tell them, “This is what the Lord of Armies says. You must drink it. 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster to the city called by my name. Will you somehow go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I will call for a sword on all who live on the earth, declares the Lord of Armies.”

30 Prophesy all these words against them. Say to them:
The Lord will roar from on high,
and he will thunder from his holy dwelling.
He will roar mightily against his flock.
He will shout against all who live on the earth,
like those who tread grapes.
31 The roaring will reach the ends of the earth,
for the Lord will bring charges against the nations.
He will judge all flesh
and put the wicked to the sword, declares the Lord.
32 This is what the Lord of Armies says.
Look! Disaster is moving from nation to nation,
and a great storm is rising from the ends of the earth.
