Jeremiah 25:15-26

Common English Bible

¹⁵ This is what the Lord, God of Israel, said to me: Take this seething cup of wine from my hand and make all the nations gulp it down where I’m sending you. ¹⁶ They will drink and stagger about half-crazed because of the sword that I am sending against them.

¹⁷ So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, and I made all the nations drink from it where the Lord had sent me: ¹⁸ Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials. This was to make them a wasteland, an object of horror, shock, and cursing, as it is today; ¹⁹ Pharaoh, Egypt’s king, his attendants and officials, and all his people, ²⁰ including the foreigners^[a] living there; all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of the Philistines—Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what’s left of Ashdod; ²¹ Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites; ²² all the kings of Tyre and Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands across the sea; ²³ Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who cut the hair of their foreheads;^{[b] 24} all the kings of Arabia and the nomadic tribes,^{[c] 25} all the kings of Zimri,^[d] Elam, and Media; ²⁶ all the kings of the north, those nearby and those faraway, one after another, all the empires on the earth will drink from this cup.^[e] And after them the king of Sheshach^[f] will drink from it.
