The Cup of God’s Wrath
15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup(A) filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send(B) you drink it. 16 When they drink(C) it, they will stagger(D) and go mad(E) because of the sword(F) I will send among them.”
17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent(G) me drink it: 18 Jerusalem(H) and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin(I) and an object of horror and scorn,(J) a curse[a](K)—as they are today;(L) 19 Pharaoh king(M) of Egypt,(N) his attendants, his officials and all his people, 20 and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz;(O) all the kings of the Philistines(P) (those of Ashkelon,(Q) Gaza,(R) Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod); 21 Edom,(S) Moab(T) and Ammon;(U) 22 all the kings of Tyre(V) and Sidon;(W) the kings of the coastlands(X) across the sea; 23 Dedan,(Y) Tema,(Z) Buz(AA) and all who are in distant places[b];(AB) 24 all the kings of Arabia(AC) and all the kings of the foreign people(AD) who live in the wilderness; 25 all the kings of Zimri,(AE) Elam(AF) and Media;(AG) 26 and all the kings of the north,(AH) near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms(AI) on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshak[c](AJ) will drink it too.
27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk(AK) and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword(AL) I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink(AM), tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(AN) on the city that bears my Name,(AO) and will you indeed go unpunished?(AP) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(AQ) on all(AR) who live on the earth,(AS) declares the Lord Almighty.’
30 “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:
“‘The Lord will roar(AT) from on high;
he will thunder(AU) from his holy dwelling(AV)
and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(AW) the grapes,
shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The tumult(AX) will resound to the ends of the earth,
for the Lord will bring charges(AY) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(AZ) on all(BA) mankind
and put the wicked to the sword,(BB)’”
declares the Lord.
32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Look! Disaster(BC) is spreading
from nation to nation;(BD)
a mighty storm(BE) is rising
from the ends of the earth.”(BF)
33 At that time those slain(BG) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(BH) up or buried,(BI) but will be like dung lying on the ground.
34 Weep and wail, you shepherds;(BJ)
roll(BK) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered(BL) has come;
you will fall like the best of the rams.[d](BM)
35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
the leaders of the flock no place to escape.(BN)
36 Hear the cry(BO) of the shepherds,(BP)
the wailing of the leaders of the flock,
for the Lord is destroying their pasture.
37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 Like a lion(BQ) he will leave his lair,
and their land will become desolate(BR)
because of the sword[e] of the oppressor(BS)
and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.(BT)
