¹⁵ For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to me: “Take this ^(A)cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and give it to all the nations to whom I send you, to drink from it. ¹⁶ Then they will ^(B)drink and loudly vomit and act insanely because of the sword that I am going to send among them.”

¹⁷ So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and ^(C)gave it to all the nations to whom the Lord sent me, to drink from it:

²⁶ and to all the kings of the north, near and far, one with another; and ^(A)all the kingdoms of the earth which are on the face of the ground; and the king of ^[a](B)Sheshach shall drink it after them.

²⁸ And if they ^(A)refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Lord of armies says: “^(B)You shall certainly drink!

² “Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a ^(A)cup ^[a]that causes staggering to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against ^(B)Judah.
