*
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me ;
Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand ,
and cause all the nations ,
to whom I send thee ,
to drink it .
*
And they shall drink ,
and be moved ,
and be mad ,
because of the sword that I will send among them .
*
Then took I the cup at the LORDS hand ,
and made all the nations to drink ,
unto whom the LORD had sent me :
*
To wit ,
Jerusalem ,
and the cities of Judah ,
and the kings thereof ,
and the princes thereof ,
to make them a desolation ,
an astonishment ,
an 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 #
Ashq @
lown #,
and Azzah ,
and Ekron ,
and the remnant of Ashdod ,
*
Edom ,
and Moab Mow #
ab #,
and the children of Ammon ,
*
And all the kings of Tyrus ,
and all the kings of Zidon ,
and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea ,
*
Dedan ,
and Tema ,
and Buz ,
and all that are in the utmost corners pe #
ah #,
*
And all the kings of Arabia Arab #,
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 .
*
Therefore thou shalt say unto them ,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Drink ye ,
and be drunken ,
and spue ,
and fall ,
and rise no more ,
because of the sword which I will send among you .
*
And it shall be ,
if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink ,
then shalt thou say unto them ,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ;
Ye shall certainly drink .
*
For ,
lo ,
I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name ,
and should ye be utterly unpunished ?
Ye shall not be unpunished :
for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth ,
saith the LORD of hosts .
*
Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words ,
and say unto them ,
The LORD shall roar from on high ,
and utter his voice from his holy habitation ma #
own #;
he shall mightily roar upon his habitation ;
he shall give a shout ,
as they that tread the grapes ,
against all the inhabitants of the earth .
*
A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth ;
for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations ,
he will plead with all flesh ;
he will give them that are wicked 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 be raised up from the coasts of the earth .
*
And the slain of the LORD 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 ground .
*
Howl ,
ye shepherds ,
and cry ;
and wallow yourselves in the ashes ,
ye principal of the flock tso #
n #:
for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished ;
and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel .
*
And the shepherds shall have no way to flee ,
nor the principal of the flock to escape .
*
A voice of the cry of the shepherds ,
and an howling of the principal of the flock tso #
n #,
shall be heard :
for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture mir #
iyth #.
*
And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD .
*
He hath forsaken his covert ,
as the lion :
for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor ,
and because of his fierce anger .
