15. This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: ‘Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it.
16. When they drink it, they will stagger and go mad because of the sword I will send among them.’
17. So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent me drink it:
18. Jerusalem 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;
19. Pharaoh king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials and all his people,
20. and 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);
21. Edom, Moab and Ammon;
22. all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea;
23. Dedan, Tema, Buz and all who are in distant places;
24. all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the foreign people who live in the wilderness;
25. all the kings of Zimri, Elam and Media;
26. and 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.
