27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk(A) and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword(B) I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink(C), tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(D) on the city that bears my Name,(E) and will you indeed go unpunished?(F) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(G) on all(H) who live on the earth,(I) declares the Lord Almighty.’

30 “Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:

“‘The Lord will roar(J) from on high;
    he will thunder(K) from his holy dwelling(L)
    and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(M) the grapes,
    shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The tumult(N) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges(O) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(P) on all(Q) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,(R)’”
declares the Lord.

32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Look! Disaster(S) is spreading
    from nation to nation;(T)
a mighty storm(U) is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”(V)

27 “Then you are to say to them: This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Drink,(A) get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, as a result of the sword I am sending among you. 28 If[a] they refuse to take the cup from you and drink, you are to say to them: This is what the Lord of Hosts says: You must drink! 29 For I am already bringing disaster on the city that bears My name,(B) so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.(C)

Judgment on the Whole World

30 “As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them:

The Lord roars from heaven;
He raises His voice from His holy dwelling.(D)
He roars loudly over His grazing land;
He calls out with a shout, like those who tread grapes,
against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 The tumult reaches to the ends of the earth
because the Lord brings a case against(E) the nations.
He enters into judgment with all flesh.
As for the wicked, He hands them over to the sword—
this is the Lord’s declaration.

32 “This is what the Lord of Hosts says:

Pay attention! Disaster spreads
from nation to nation.
A great storm is stirred up
from the ends of the earth.”(F)
