[15]Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Take the cup of this unmixed wine from mine hand, and thou shalt cause all the nations to drink, to whom I send thee.
[16]And they shall drink, and vomit, and be mad, because of the sword which I send among them.
[17]So I took the cup out of the Lord's hand, and caused the nations to whom the Lord sent me to drink:
[18]Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings of Juda, and his princes, to make them a desert place, a desolation, and a hissing;
[19]and Pharao king of Egypt, and his servants, and his nobles, and all his people;
[20]and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus,
[21]and Idumea, and the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon,
[22]and the kings of Tyre, and the kings of Sidon, and the kings in the country beyond the sea,
[23]and Daedan, and Thaeman, and Ros, and every one that is shaved round about the face,
[24]and all the mingled people lodging in the wilderness,
[25]and all the kings of Ælam, and all the kings of the Persians,
[26]and all the kings from the north, the far and the near, each one with his brother, and all the kingdom s which are on the face of the earth.
[27]And thou shalt say to them, Thus said the Lord Almighty; Drink ye, be ye drunken; and ye shall vomit, and shall fall, and shall in nowise rise, because of the sword which I send among you.
[28]And it shall come to pass, when they refuse to take the cup out of thine hand, to drink it, that thou shalt say, Thus said the Lord; Ye shall surely drink.
[29]For I am beginning to afflict the city whereon my name is called, and ye shall by no means be held guiltless: for I am calling a sword upon all that dwell upon the earth.
[30]And thou shalt prophesy against them these words, and shalt say, The Lord shall speak from on high, from his sanctuary he will utter his voice; he will pronounce a declaration on his place; and these shall answer like men gathering grapes: and destruction is coming on them that dwell on the earth,
[31]even upon the extreme part of the earth; for the Lord has a controversy with the nations, he is pleading with all flesh, and the ungodly are given to the sword, saith the Lord.
[32]Thus said the Lord; Behold, evils are proceeding from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind goes forth from the end of the earth.
[33]And the slain of the Lord shall be in the day of the Lord from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth.
[34]Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and lament, ye rams of the flock: for your days have been completed for slaughter, and ye shall fall as the choice rams.
[35]And flight shall perish from the shepherds, and safety from the rams of the flock.
[36]A voice of the crying of the shepherds, and a moaning of the sheep and the rams: for the Lord has destroyed their pastures.
[37]And the peaceable abodes that remain shall be destroyed before the fierceness of my anger.
[38]He has forsaken his lair, as a lion: for their land is become desolate before the great sword.
