Jeremiah 25:15-29 - The Cup Of God's Wrath
15 "For thus hath the LORD God of Israel spoken unto me, 'Take this wine cup of indignation from my hand, that thou mayest cause all the people, to whom I send thee, for to drink of it: 16 that when they have drunken thereof, they may be mad, and out of their wits, when the sword cometh that I will send among them.'
17 Then took I the cup from the LORD's hand, and made all the people drink thereof, unto whom the LORD had sent me. 18 But first the city of Jerusalem, and all the cities of Judah, their kings and princes: to make them desolate, waste, despised and cursed according as it is come to pass this day. 19 Yea, and Pharaoh the king of Egypt, his servants, his princes and his people altogether one with another; 20 and all kings of the land of Uz, all the kings of the Philistine's land - Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and the remnant of Ashdod - 21 the Edomites, the Moabites, and the Ammonites; 22 all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the Isles that are beyond the sea; 23 Dedan, Tema, Buz and the shaven Ishmaelites; 24 all the kings of Arabia, and, generally, all the kings that dwell in the desert; 25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, all the kings of the Medes; 26 all kings toward the north, whether they be far or nigh, everyone with his neighbours; Yea, and all the kingdoms that are upon the whole earth. The king of Sheshach, said he, shall drink with them also.
27 'And say thou unto them: This is the commandment of the LORD of Hosts the God of Israel: Drink and be drunken, spew and fall, that ye never rise: and that through the sword which I will send among you. 28 But if they will no receive the cup of thy hand, and drink it, then tell them: Thus doth the LORD of Hosts threaten you: drink it ye shall, and that shortly. 29 For lo, I begin to plague the city that my name is given unto: think ye then, that I will leave you unpunished? Ye shall not go quit. For why? I call for a sword upon all the inhabiters of the earth, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.
