Jeremiah 25:27-32
New American Standard Bible
27 “And you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “(A)Drink, be drunk, vomit, fall down, and do not get up, because of the (B)sword which I am sending among you.”’ 28 And if they (C)refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “(D)You shall certainly drink! 29 For behold, I am (E)beginning to inflict disaster on this city which is (F)called by My name, so should you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment, for (G)I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares the Lord of armies.’
30 “Therefore you shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them,
‘The (H)Lord will (I)roar from on high
And raise His voice from His holy dwelling;
He will roar forcefully against His [a]fold.
He will shout like those who tread the grapes,
Against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A clamor has come to the end of the earth,
Because the Lord has (J)a controversy with the nations.
He is entering into (K)judgment with [b]humanity;
As for the wicked, He has turned them over to the sword,’ declares the Lord.”
32 This is what the Lord of armies says:
“Behold, evil is going out
From (L)nation to nation,
And a great (M)storm is being stirred up
From the remotest parts of the earth.

Lexham English Bible
27 “And you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “Drink and become drunk, and vomit, and fall, and you must not rise because of the presence[a] of the sword that I am sending among you.”’ 28 And it will happen, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “You must certainly drink! 29 For look, on the city that is called by[b] my name I am beginning to inflict harm, and you indeed, will you go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares[c] Yahweh of hosts.’
30 And you yourself shall prophesy against them all these words, and you shall say to them:
‘Yahweh will roar from on high,
and from his holy dwelling place[d] he will give his voice.
He will roar mightily against his settlement,
a jubilant shout like those who tread grapes,
he will answer against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 The rage of battle will resound to the end of the earth,
for there is a lawsuit of Yahweh against the nations.
He is entering into judgment with all wicked flesh,
he will give them to the sword,’ declares[e] Yahweh.”
32 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“Look, disaster is going out from nation to nation,
and a great tempest is stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
