Jer 25:15-29 | NASB2020 | STEP | For this is what the Lord , the God of Israel , says to me: “ Take this cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and give it to all the nations to whom I send you, to drink from it.

Jeremiah 25:15-29

15 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to me: “Take this ^acup of the wine of wrath from My hand and give it to all the nations to whom I send you, to drink from it. 16 Then they will ^bdrink and loudly vomit and act insanely because of the sword that I am going to send among them.”

17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and ^cgave it to all the nations to whom the Lord sent me, to drink from it: 18 To ^dJerusalem and the cities of Judah, and its kings and its officials, to make them places of ruins, objects of horror, ^{▼▼Or whistling}hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; 19 To ^fPharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, and all his people; 20 and to all the ^gforeign ^{▼▼Or mercenaries}people, all the kings of the ⁱland of Uz, all the kings of the land of the ^jPhilistines (that is, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of ^kAshdod); 21 To ^lEdom, ^mMoab, and the sons of ⁿAmmon; 22 and to all the kings of ^oTyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of ^pthe coastlands which are beyond the sea; 23 and to ^qDedan, Tema, ^rBuz, and all who ^strim the corners of their hair; 24 and to all the kings of ^tArabia and all the kings of the ^uforeign ^{▼▼Or mercenaries}people who live in the desert; 25 and to all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of ^wElam, and all the kings of ^xMedia; 26 and to all the kings of the north, near and far, one with another; and ^yall the kingdoms of the earth which are on the face of the ground; and the king of ^{▼▼Cryptic name for Babylon
,} ^aaSheshach shall drink it after them.

27 “And you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “ ^abDrink, be drunk, vomit, fall down, and do not get up, because of the ^acsword which I am sending among you.”’ 28 And if they ^adrefuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “ ^aeYou shall certainly drink! 29 For behold, I am ^afbeginning to inflict disaster on this city which is ^agcalled by My name, so should you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment, for ^ahI am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares the Lord of armies.’
