15 For, thus, said Yahweh, God of Israel, unto me, Take this cup of indignation, wine, out of my hand,––and cause all the nations unto whom I, am sending thee, to drink it:
16 Yea they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and act as madmen, because of the sword which I, am sending between them.
17 So I took the cup out of the hand of Yahweh,––and caused all the nations, unto whom Yahweh had sent me, to drink:
18 [to wit, said he]––Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and her kings, her princes,––making them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a contempt, as at this day;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
20 And all the Bedawin, and all the kings of the land of Uz,––and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, even Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Edom and Moab, and the sons of Ammon;
22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon,––and the kings of the Coastland, that is beyond the sea;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all the clipt–beards;
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the Bedawin who dwell in the desert;
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26 And all the kings of the North, the near and the far, every man with his brother, and all the kingdoms of the earth, which are on the face of the ground; And, the king of Sheshach, shall drink, after them.
27 Therefore shalt thou say unto them––Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel,––Drink ye and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise not,––because of the sword, which I, am sending between you.
28 And it shall be, when they shall refuse to take the cup at thy hand, to drink, then shalt thou say unto them––Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall, certainly drink;
29 For lo! with the city on which my Name hath been called, am I, making a beginning of sending calamity, And shall, ye, be held, guiltless? Ye shall not be held guiltless: For, a sword, am I, proclaiming against all the inhabitants of the earth, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
30 Thou, therefore, shalt prophesy against them all these words,––and shalt say unto them––Yahweh, from on high, will roar. Yea, from his holy, habitation, will utter his voice, He will, roar mightily, over his home, With a shout as of them who tread the winepress, will he answer unto all the inhabitants of the earth. 31 There hath come in a tumult, as far as the end of the earth, For, a controversy, hath Yahweh, with the nations, Himself, hath entered, into judgment with all flesh,––As for the lawless, he hath delivered them to the sword, Declareth Yahweh. 32 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Lo! calamity! going forth from nation to nation,––And, a great tempest, shall be stirred up, out of the remote parts of the earth. 33 Then shall the slain of Yahweh, in that day, be from one end of the earth, even unto the other end of the earth,––They shall not be lamented, nor gathered together, nor buried, As dung, on the face of the ground, shall they serve. 34 Howl, ye shepherds, and make outcry, And roll in the dust, ye illustrious of the flock, Because your days for being slaughtered, are fulfilled,––Therefore will I break you in pieces, and ye shall fall, like a precious vessel! 35 Then shall place of refuge vanish from the shepherds, And escape, from the illustrious of the flock. 36 The voice of the outcry of the shepherds! Yea the howling of the illustrious of the flock!––Because Yahweh is laying waste the grounds where they fed. 37 Then shall be silenced the prosperous pastures,––Because of the fierceness of the anger of Yahweh. 38 He hath, left as a lion, his covert, For their land hath become a horror, Because of the fierceness of oppression, and, Because of the fierceness of his anger.
