For thus the Lord , the God of Israel, says to me, "Take this ^(ab)cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.

They will ^(ac)drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them."

Then I took the cup from the Lord's hand and ^(ad)made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it:

^(ae)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah and its kings and its princes, to make them a ruin, a horror, a hissing and a curse, as it is this day;

^(af)Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes and all his people;

and all the ^[i](ag)foreign people, all the kings of the ^(ah)land of Uz, all the kings of the land of the ^(ai)Philistines (even Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and the remnant of ^(aj)Ashdod);

^(ak)Edom, ^(al)Moab and the sons of ^(am)Ammon;

and all the kings of ^(an)Tyre, all the kings of Sidon and the kings of ^(ao)the coastlands which are beyond the sea;

and ^(ap)Dedan, Tema, ^(aq)Buz and all who ^(ar)cut the corners of their hair;

and all the kings of ^(as)Arabia and all the kings of the ^[j](at)foreign people who dwell in the desert;

and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of ^(au)Elam and all the kings of ^(av)Media;

and all the kings of the north, near and far, one with another; and ^(aw)all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the ground, and the king of ^[k](ax)Sheshach shall drink after them.

"You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, "^(ay)Drink, be drunk, vomit, fall and rise no more because of the ^(az)sword which I will send among you."'

And it will be, if they ^(ba)refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you will say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: "^(bb)You shall surely drink!
