Jeremiah 25:17-26

17So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand. I made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink from it:

18Jerusalem and the cities of Judah as well as its kings and officials. When they drank from it, they became wastelands and ruins, something ridiculed and cursed, until today.

19⌞I also made these people drink from it:⌟ Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, officials, all his people,

20and all the foreign people living among them; all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of Philistia, those from the cities of Ashkelon, Gaza, and Ekron, and the people left in Ashdod;

21Edom, Moab, and the people of Ammon;

22all the kings of Tyre and Sidon, and the kings on the seacoast;

23Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who shave the hair on their foreheads;

24all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the foreign people living in the desert;

25all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media;

26all the kings of the north, near and far, one after another—all the kingdoms of the earth. Last of all, the king of Sheshach will drink from the cup.
