The Cup of the Lord’s Wrath
15 Thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: a “Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16 They shall drink and stagger and be crazed because of b the sword that I am sending among them.” 17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, c and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: 18 d Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials e to make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; 19 f Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people, 20 and g all the mixed tribes among them; all the kings of h the land of Uz and all the kings of i the land of the Philistines ( j Ashkelon, k Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of l Ashdod); 21 m Edom n Moab, and the sons of o Ammon; 22 all the kings of p Tyre, all the kings of q Sidon, and the kings of the coastland across r the sea; 23 s Dedan t Tema u Buz, and all who cut v the corners of their hair; 24 all the w kings of Arabia and all the kings of x the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert; 25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of y Elam, and all the kings of z Media; 26 all the kings of aa the north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth.
