The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath

15Thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: jTake from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16They shall drink and stagger and be crazed because of kthe sword that I am sending among them.”

17So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, land made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: 18 mJerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, nto make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; 19 oPharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people, 20and pall the mixed tribes among them; all the kings of qthe land of Uz and all the kings of rthe land of the Philistines ( sAshkelon, tGaza, Ekron, and the remnant of uAshdod); 21 vEdom, wMoab, and the sons of xAmmon; 22all the kings of yTyre, all the kings of zSidon, and the kings of the coastland across aathe sea; 23 abDedan, acTema, adBuz, and all who cut aethe corners of their hair; 24all the afkings of Arabia and all the kings of agthe mixed tribes who dwell in the desert; 25all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of ahElam, and all the kings of aiMedia; 26all the kings of ajthe north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth. And after them the king of akBabylon
Hebrew Sheshach, a code name for Babylon
shall drink.

27“Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: amDrink, be drunk and vomit, fall and rise no more, because of anthe sword that I am sending among you.’

28“And if they refuse to accept the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: aoYou must drink! 29For behold, apI begin to work disaster at the city that is called by my name, and shall you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, aqfor I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the Lord of hosts.’
