Jeremiah 25:15-27

The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath

15Thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: aTake 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 bthe sword that I am sending among them.”

17So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, cand made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: 18 dJerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, eto make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; 19 fPharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people, 20and gall the mixed tribes among them; all the kings of hthe land of Uz and all the kings of ithe land of the Philistines ( jAshkelon, kGaza, Ekron, and the remnant of lAshdod); 21 mEdom, nMoab, and the sons of oAmmon; 22all the kings of pTyre, all the kings of qSidon, and the kings of the coastland across rthe sea; 23 sDedan, tTema, uBuz, and all who cut vthe corners of their hair; 24all the wkings of Arabia and all the kings of xthe mixed tribes who dwell in the desert; 25all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of yElam, and all the kings of zMedia; 26all the kings of aathe north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth.
