14 For the earth will be (A)filled
With the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh,
As the waters cover the sea.

15 “Woe to you who make [a]your neighbors drink,
Who mix in your venom even to make them drunk
So as to look on their nakedness!
16 You will be filled with disgrace rather than glory.

The (C)cup in Yahweh’s right hand will come around to you,
And (D)utter disgrace will come upon your glory.
