Jeremiah 25:15-29
15 For thus the Lord, the God of Israel, says to me, “Take this (A)cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.
16 They will (B)drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Then I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and (C)made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it:
18 (D)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;
19 (E)Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes and all his people;
20 and all the (a)(F)foreign people, all the kings of the (G)land of Uz, all the kings of the land of the (H)Philistines (even Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and the remnant of (I)Ashdod);
21 (J)Edom, (K)Moab and the sons of (L)Ammon;
22 and all the kings of (M)Tyre, all the kings of Sidon and the kings of (N)the coastlands which are beyond the sea;
23 and (O)Dedan, Tema, (P)Buz and all who (Q)cut the corners of their hair;
24 and all the kings of (R)Arabia and all the kings of the (b)(S)foreign people who dwell in the desert;
25 and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of (T)Elam and all the kings of (U)Media;
26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one with another; and (V)all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the ground, and the king of (c)(W)Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 “You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “(X)Drink, be drunk, vomit, fall and rise no more because of the (Y)sword which I will send among you.”’
28 And it will be, if they (Z)refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you will say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “(AA)You shall surely drink!
29 For behold, I am (AB)beginning to work calamity in this city which is (AC)called by My name, and shall you be completely free from punishment? You will not be free from punishment; for (AD)I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth,” declares the Lord of hosts.’
