Jeremiah 25:18-27

18Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin and an object of horror and scorn, a curse—as they are today;

19Pharaoh king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials and all his people,

20and all the foreign people there; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines (those of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod);

21Edom, Moab and Ammon;

22all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea;

23Dedan, Tema, Buz and all who are in distant places;

24all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the foreign people who live in the wilderness;

25all the kings of Zimri, Elam and Media;

26and all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshak will drink it too.

27“Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you.’
