For, thus, said Yahweh, God of Israel unto me, Take this cup of indignation wine out of my hand, - and cause all the nations unto whom I am sending thee, to drink it:

Yea they shall drink and reel to and fro and act as madmen, because of the sword which I am sending between them.

So I took the cup out of the hand of Yahweh, - and caused all the nations unto whom Yahweh had sent me to drink:

to wit said he - Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and her kings her princes, - making them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a contempt, as at this day;

Pharaoh king of Egypt and his servants and his princes, and all his people;

And all the Bedawin, and all the kings of the land of Uz, - and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, even Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

Edom and Moab, and the sons of Ammon;

And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, - and the kings of the Coastland, that is beyond the sea;

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all the clipt-beards;

And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the Bedawin, who dwell in the desert;

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, the near and the far every man with his brother, and all the kingdoms of the earth which are on the face of the ground; And the king of Sheshach, shall drink, after them.
