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 Living Translation
27 Then the Lord said to me, “Now tell them, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: Drink from this cup of my anger. Get drunk and vomit; fall to rise no more, for I am sending terrible wars against you.’ 28 And if they refuse to accept the cup, tell them, ‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: You have no choice but to drink from it. 29 I have begun to punish Jerusalem, the city that bears my name. Now should I let you go unpunished? No, you will not escape disaster. I will call for war against all the nations of the earth. I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!’
30 “Now prophesy all these things, and say to them,
“‘The Lord will roar against his own land
from his holy dwelling in heaven.
He will shout like those who tread grapes;
he will shout against everyone on earth.
31 His cry of judgment will reach the ends of the earth,
for the Lord will bring his case against all the nations.
He will judge all the people of the earth,
slaughtering the wicked with the sword.
I, the Lord, have spoken!’”
32 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
“Look! Disaster will fall upon nation after nation!
A great whirlwind of fury is rising
from the most distant corners of the earth!”
