* For thus hath Jehovah the God of Israel said unto me : Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand , and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it . * And they shall drink , and reel to and fro , and be mad , because of the sword that I will send among them . * And I took the cup at Jehovah 's hand , and made all the nations to drink , to whom Jehovah had sent me : * Jerusalem , and the cities of Judah , and the kings thereof , and the princes thereof , to make them a waste , an astonishment , a hissing , and a curse , as it is this day ; * Pharaoh king of Egypt , and his servants , and his princes , and all his people ; * and all the mingled people , and all the kings of the land of Uz , and all the kings of the land of the Philistines , and Ashkelon , and Gazah , and Ekron , and the remnant of Ashdod ; * Edom , and Moab , and the children of Ammon ; * and all the kings of Tyre , and all the kings of Zidon , and the kings of the isles that are beyond the sea ; * Dedan , and Tema , and Buz , and all that have the corners [of their beard ] cut off ; * and all the kings of Arabia , and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert ; * and all the kings of Zimri , and all the kings of Elam , and all the kings of the Medes ; * and all the kings of the north , far and near , one with another ; and all the kingdoms of the world , which are upon the face of the earth ; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them . * And thou shalt say unto them , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts , the God of Israel : Drink , and be drunken , and vomit , and fall , and rise no more , because of the sword that I will send among you . * And it shall be , if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink , then shalt thou say unto them , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Ye shall certainly drink . * For behold , I begin to bring evil on the city that is called by my name , and should ye be altogether unpunished ? Ye shall not be unpunished ; for I call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth , saith Jehovah of hosts . * And thou , prophesy unto them all these words , and say unto them , Jehovah will roar from on high , and utter his voice from his holy habitation ; he will mightily roar upon his dwelling-place , he will give a shout , as they that tread [the vintage ], against all the inhabitants of the earth . * The noise shall come to the end of the earth : for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations , he entereth into judgment with all flesh ; as for the wicked , he will give them up to the sword , saith Jehovah . * Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Behold , evil shall go forth from nation to nation , and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth . * And the slain of Jehovah shall [be ] at that day from [one ] end of the earth even unto the [other ] end of the earth : they shall not be lamented , neither gathered , nor buried ; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground . * Howl , ye shepherds , and cry ; and wallow yourselves [in the dust ], noble ones of the flock : for the days of your slaughter are accomplished , and I will disperse you ; and ye shall fall like a precious vessel . * And refuge shall perish from the shepherds , and escape from the noble ones of the flock . * There shall be a voice of the cry of the shepherds , and a howling of the noble ones of the flock : for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture ; * and the peaceable enclosures shall be desolated , because of the fierce anger of Jehovah . * He hath forsaken his covert as a young lion ; for their land is a desolation because of the fierceness of the oppressor , and because of his fierce anger .
