Judgment on the Nations
15 For thus says the Lord God of Israel to me: “Take this (A)wine cup of [a]fury from My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it. 16 And (B)they will drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Then I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, and made all the nations drink, to whom the Lord had sent me: 18 Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and its princes, to make them (C)a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and (D)a curse, as it is this day; 19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes, and all his people; 20 all the mixed multitude, all the kings of (E)the land of Uz, all the kings of the land of the (F)Philistines (namely, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and (G)the remnant of Ashdod); 21 (H)Edom, Moab, and the people of Ammon; 22 all the kings of (I)Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands which are across the (J)sea; 23 (K)Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who are in the farthest corners; 24 all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the (L)mixed multitude who dwell in the desert; 25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of (M)Elam, and all the kings of the (N)Medes; 26 (O)all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. Also the king of [b]Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 “Therefore you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (P)“Drink, (Q)be drunk, and vomit! Fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.” ’ 28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “You shall certainly drink! 29 For behold, (R)I begin to bring calamity on the city (S)which is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished, for (T)I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,” says the Lord of hosts.’
