*
For thus says Yahweh ,
the God of Israel ,
to me :
take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand ,
and cause all the nations ,
to whom I send you ,
to drink it .
*
They shall drink ,
and reel back and forth ,
and be mad ,
because of the sword that I will send among them .
*
Then took I the cup at Yahweh '
s hand ,
and made all the nations to drink ,
to whom Yahweh had sent me :
*
Jerusalem ,
and the cities of Judah ,
and its kings ,
and its princes ,
to make them a desolation ,
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 mixed people ,
and all the kings of the land of the Uz ,
and all the kings of the Philistines ,
and Ashkelon ,
and Gaza ,
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 Sidon ,
and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea ;
*
Dedan ,
and Tema ,
and Buz ,
and all who have the corners of their beard cut off ;
*
and all the kings of Arabia ,
and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness ;
*
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 on the surface of the earth :
and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them .
*
You shall tell them ,
Thus says Yahweh of Armies ,
the God of Israel :
Drink ,
and be drunk ,
vomit ,
fall ,
and rise no more ,
because of the sword which I will send among you .
*
It shall be ,
if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink ,
then you shall tell them ,
Thus says Yahweh of Armies :
You shall surely drink .
*
For ,
behold ,
I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name ;
and should you be utterly unpunished ?
You shall not be unpunished ;
for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth ,
says Yahweh of Armies .
*
Therefore prophesy you against them all these words ,
and tell them ,
Yahweh will roar from on high ,
and utter his voice from his holy habitation ;
he will mightily roar against his fold ;
he will give a shout ,
as those who tread grapes ,
against all the inhabitants of the earth .
*
A noise shall come even to the end of the earth ;
for Yahweh has a controversy with the nations ;
he will enter into judgment with all flesh :
as for the wicked ,
he will give them to the sword ,
says Yahweh .
*
Thus says Yahweh of Armies ,
Behold ,
evil shall go forth from nation to nation ,
and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth .
*
The slain of Yahweh shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth :
they shall not be lamented ,
neither gathered ,
nor buried ;
they shall be dung on the surface of the ground .
*
Wail ,
you shepherds ,
and cry ;
and wallow in dust ,
you principal of the flock ;
for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come ,
and you shall fall like a goodly vessel .
*
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 the wailing of the principal of the flock !
for Yahweh lays waste their pasture .
*
The peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Yahweh .
*
He has left his covert ,
as the lion ;
for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression ,
and because of his fierce anger .
