Jeremiah 25:17-26

17So I took the cup from the Lord's hand. In my vision, I took it to the nations where the Lord sent me. I made them drink the wine of his punishment.

18I went to Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah. I made the people of Judah, its kings and its officers drink from the cup. It was to destroy them all. Judah would become a terrible place. People would see that its people are very foolish. They would use their name as a curse. That is already happening today.

19I also took the cup of punishment to these people: Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his officers, his servants and his people;

20the foreign people who lived in Egypt; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines (They were the kings of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and the people who were still living in Ashdod);

21the people of Edom, Moab and Ammon;

22all the kings of Tyre and all the kings of Sidon; the kings of the nations around the Mediterranean Sea;

23the people of Dedan, Tema, and Buz; the people who live in the desert and who cut their hair short;

24all the kings of Arabia and the kings of the tribes who live in the desert;

25all the kings of Zimri, Elam and Media;

26all the kings of the nations in the north, those who live near together and those who live far apart; the people of all the other kingdoms everywhere on the earth. Finally, the king of Babylon will have to drink the wine of the Lord's great anger.
