The Wine Cup of God’s Wrath

15

"For here is what ADONAI the God of Isra'el says to me: 'Take this cup of the wine of fury from my hand, and make all the nations where I am sending you drink it.

16

They will drink, stagger to and fro and behave like crazy people because of the sword that I will send among them.'"

17

Then I took the cup from ADONAI's hand and made all the nations drink, where ADONAI had sent me -

18

Yerushalayim and the cities of Y'hudah, along with their kings and leaders, to make them a ruin and an object of horror, ridicule and cursing, as it is today;

19

Pharaoh king of Egypt, with his servants and leaders and all his people, both native

20

and foreign; all the kings of the land of 'Utz; all the kings of the land of the P'lishtim, Ashkelon, 'Azah, 'Ekron and those remaining in Ashdod;

21

Edom, Mo'av, and the people of 'Amon;

22

all the kings of Tzor, of Tzidon and of the coastlands across the sea;

23

D'dan, Teima, Buz and all who cut the corners of their beards;

24

all the kings of Arabia and of the mixed peoples living in the desert;

25

all the kings of Zimri, of 'Eilam and of the Medes;

26

and all the kings of the north, far and near, one after another - indeed, all the kingdoms of the world that there are on the surface of the earth. And the king of Sheshakh will drink last of all.

27

"You are to say to them, 'Here is what ADONAI-Tzva'ot, the God of Isra'el, says: Drink until you're so drunk that you throw up, fall down, and never get up again, because of the sword I am sending among you!'

28

If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, then say to them, 'Here is what ADONAI-Tzva'ot says: You must drink!

29

For, look! - if I am bringing disaster on the city that bears my own name, do you expect to go unpunished? Yes, I will summon a sword for all the inhabitants of the earth,' says ADONAI.
