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, (C)I begin to bring calamity on the city (D)which is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished, for (E)I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,” says the Lord of hosts.’
30 “Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them:
‘The Lord will (F)roar from on high,
And utter His voice from (G)His holy habitation;
He will roar mightily against (H)His fold.
He will give (I)a shout, as those who tread the grapes,
Against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise will come to the ends of the earth—
For the Lord has (J)a controversy with the nations;
(K)He will plead His case with all flesh.
He will give those who are wicked to the sword,’ says the Lord.”

Drain and drink down.
