When they drank from it, they became wastelands and ruins, something ridiculed and cursed, until today. ⌞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;
