For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to me: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and give it to all the nations to whom I send you, to drink from it.

For thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

"Then they will drink and loudly vomit and act insanely because of the sword that I am going to send among them."

And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

So I took the cup from the LORD'S hand and gave it to all the nations to whom the LORD sent me, to drink from it:

Then took I the cup at the Lord 's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord had sent me:
