17So I tookH3947 the cupH3563 from the Lord’sH3068 handH3027 and 1gaveH8248 it to allH3605 the nationsH1471 to whomH834 the LordH3068 sentH7971 me, toH8248 drinkH8248 from it: 18To 2JerusalemH3389 and the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and its kingsH4428 and its officialsH8269, to makeH5414 them placesH2723 ofH2723 ruinsH2723, objectsH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047, 3hissingH8322, and a curseH7045, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117; 19To 4PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, his servantsH5650, his officialsH8269, and allH3605 his peopleH5971; 20and to allH3605 the 5foreignH6154 6peopleH6154, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 7landH776 of UzH5780, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the landH776 of the 8PhilistinesH6430 (that is, AshkelonH831, GazaH5804, EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of 9AshdodH795); 21To 10EdomH112, 11MoabH4124, and the sonsH1121 of 12AmmonH5983; 22and to allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 13TyreH6865, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of SidonH6721, and the kingsH4428 of 14the coastlandsH339 whichH834 are beyondH5676 the seaH3220; 23and to 15DedanH1719, TemaH8485, 16BuzH938, and allH3605 who 17trimH7112 the cornersH6285 of their hair; 24and to allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 18ArabiaH6152 and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 19foreignH6154 20peopleH6154 who liveH7931 in the desertH4057; 25and to allH3605 the kingsH4428 of ZimriH2174, allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 21ElamH5867, and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of 22MediaH4074; 26and to allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the northH6828, nearH7138 and farH7350, oneH376 with anotherH251; and 23allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 whichH834 are on the faceH6440 of the groundH127; and the kingH4428 of 2425SheshachH8347 shall drinkH8354 it afterH310 them.
27“And you shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “26DrinkH8354, beH7937 drunkH7937, vomitH7006, fallH5307 down, and do not getH6965 upH6965, becauseH4480H6440 of the 27swordH2719 whichH834 I am sendingH7971 amongH996 you.”’ 28And ifH3588 they 28refuseH3985 to takeH3947 the cupH3563 from your handH3027 to drinkH8354, then you shall sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “29You shall certainlyH8354 drinkH8354! 29For beholdH2009, I am 30beginningH2490 to inflictH7489 disasterH7489 on this cityH5892 whichH834 is 31calledH7121 by My nameH8034, so should you beH5352 completelyH5352 freeH5352 fromH5352 punishmentH5352? You will not beH5352 freeH5352 fromH5352 punishmentH5352, for 32I am summoningH7121 a swordH2719 againstH5921 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.’
30“Therefore you shall prophesyH5012 againstH413 them allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697, and you shall sayH559 to them, ‘The 33LordH3068 will 34roarH7580 from on highH4791 And raiseH5414 His voiceH6963 from His holyH6944 dwellingH4583; He will roarH7580 forcefullyH7580 againstH5921 His 35foldH5116. He will shoutH1959 like those who treadH1869 the grapes, AgainstH413 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the earthH776.31A clamorH7588 has comeH935 to the endH7097 of the earthH776, BecauseH3588 the LordH3068 has 36a controversyH7379 with the nationsH1471. He is enteringH8199 intoH8199 37judgmentH8199 with 38humanityH1320; As for the wickedH7563, He has turnedH5414 them overH5414 to the swordH2719,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068.”
32ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, evilH7463 is goingH3318 outH3318 From 39nationH1471 to nationH1471, And a greatH1419 40stormH5591 is being stirredH5782 upH5782 From the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of the earthH776.
33“Those 41putH2491 toH2491 deathH2491 by the LordH3068 on that dayH3117 will be from one endH7097 of the earthH776 to the 42otherH7097H776. They will 43not be mournedH5594, gatheredH622, or buriedH6912; they will be like 44dungH1828 on the faceH6440 of the groundH127.34WailH3213, you shepherdsH7462, and cryH2199 outH2199; 45WallowH6428 in the dust, you mastersH117 of the flockH6629; For the daysH3117 of your 46slaughterH2873 and your dispersionsH8600 47have comeH4390, And you will fallH5307 like a preciousH2532 vesselH3627.3548There will be 49no sanctuaryH4498 for the shepherdsH7462, Nor escapeH6413 for the mastersH117 of the flockH6629.36Hear the soundH6963 of the cryH6818 of the shepherdsH7462, And the wailingH3215 of the mastersH117 of the flockH6629! For the LordH3068 is destroyingH7703 their pastureH4830,37And the peacefulH7965 50grazingH5116 placesH5116 areH1826 devastatedH1826 BecauseH4480H6440 of the 51fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LordH3068.38He has leftH5800 His hidingH5520 placeH5520 52like the lionH3715; For their landH776 has becomeH1961 a horrorH8047 BecauseH4480H6440 of the fiercenessH2740 of the 53oppressingH3238 sword And becauseH4480H6440 of His fierceH2740 angerH639.”
