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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
27 Then you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink; get drunk and vomit; fall and rise no more because of the sword that I am sending among you.(A)
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: You must drink! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that is called by my name, and how can you possibly avoid punishment? You shall not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of hosts.(B)
30 You, therefore, shall prophesy to them all these words and say to them:
The Lord will roar from on high
and from his holy habitation utter his voice;
he will roar mightily against his fold
and shout like those who tread grapes
against all the inhabitants of the earth.(C)
31 The clamor will resound to the ends of the earth,
for the Lord has an indictment against the nations;
he is entering into judgment with all flesh,
and the guilty he will put to the sword,
says the Lord.(D)
32 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
See, disaster is spreading
from nation to nation,
and a great tempest is stirring
from the farthest parts of the earth!
