*
For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel :
Take the cup of wine of this fury at my hand :
and thou shalt make all nations to drink thereof ,
unto which I shall send thee .
*
And they shall drink ,
and be troubled ,
and be mad because of the sword ,
which I shall send among them .
*
And I took the cup at the hand of the Lord ,
and I presented it to all the nations to drink of it ,
to which the Lord sent me :
*
To wit ,
Jerusalem ,
and the cities of Juda ,
and the kings thereof ,
and the princes thereof :
to make them a desolation ,
and an astonishment ,
and a hissing ,
and a curse ,
as it is at this day .
*
Pharao the king of Egypt ,
and his servants ,
and his princes ,
and all his people ,
*
And all in general :
all the kings of the land of Ausitis ,
and all the kings of the land of the Philistines ,
and Ascalon ,
and Gaza ,
and Accaron ,
and the remnant of Azotus .
*
And Edom ,
and Moab ,
and the children of Ammon .
*
And all the kings of Tyre ,
and all the kings of Sidon :
and the kings of the land of the islands that are beyond the sea .
*
And Dedan ,
and Thema ,
and Buz ,
and all that have their hair cut round .
*
And all the kings of Arabia ,
and all the kings of the west ,
that dwell in the desert .
*
And all the kings of Zambri ,
and all the kings of Elam ,
and all the kings of Medes :
*
And all the kings of the north far and near ,
every one against his brother :
and all the kingdoms of the earth ,
which are upon the face thereof :
and the king of Sesac shall drink after them .
*
And thou shalt say to them :
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel :
Dring ye ,
and be drunken ,
and vomit :
and fall ,
and rise no more ,
because of the sword ,
which I shall send among you .
*
And if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink ,
thou shalt say to them :
Thus saith the Lord of hosts :
Drinking you shall drink :
*
For behold I begin to bring evil on the city wherein my name is called upon :
and shall you be as innocent and escape free ?
you shall not escape free :
for I will call for the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth ,
saith the Lord of hosts .
*
And thou shalt prophesy unto them all these words ,
and thou shalt say to them :
The Lord shall roar from on high ,
and shall utter his voice from his holy habitation :
roaring he shall roar upon the place of his beauty :
the shout as it were of them that tread grapes shall be given out against all the inhabitants of the earth .
*
The noise is come even to the ends of the earth :
for the Lord entereth into judgement with the nations :
he entereth into judgement with all flesh ;
the wicked I have delivered up to the sword ,
saith the Lord .
*
Thus saith the Lord of hosts :
Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation :
and a great whirlwind shall go forth from the ends of the earth .
*
And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end thereof :
they shall not be lamented ,
and they shall not be gathered up ,
nor buried :
they shall lie as dung upon the face of the earth .
*
Howl ,
ye shepherds ,
and cry :
and sprinkle yourselves with ashes ,
ye leaders of the flock :
for the days of your slaughter and your dispersion are accomplished ,
and you shall fall like precious vessels .
*
And the shepherds shall have no way to flee ,
nor the leaders of the flock to save themselves .
*
A voice of the cry of the shepherds ,
and a howling of the principal of the flock :
because the Lord hath watsed their pastures .
*
And the fields of peace have been silent ,
because of the fierce anger of the Lord .
*
He has forsaken his covert as the lion ,
for the land is laid waste because of the wrath of the dove ,
and because of the fierce anger of the Lord .
