“Woe (judgment is coming) to you who make your neighbors drink,
Who mix in your venom to make them drunk
So that you may look at their nakedness!
16 
“You will be filled with disgrace instead of honor.
Now drink and expose your own nakedness!
The cup [of wrath] in the Lord’s right hand will come around to you [O destroyer],
And utter disgrace will be on your own glory.(A)
17 
“For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you;
The destruction of the animals will terrify you
On account of human bloodshed and the violence done to the land,
To the city and all its inhabitants.

    pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,

16 You will be filled with shame(B) instead of glory.(C)
    Now it is your turn! Drink(D) and let your nakedness be exposed[a]!(E)
The cup(F) from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,
    and disgrace will cover your glory.
17 The violence(G) you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
    and your destruction of animals will terrify you.(H)
For you have shed human blood;(I)
    you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.
