Jeremiah 25:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ They will drink my anger like wine. Then they will not be able to walk straight. They will act like madmen. They will do this because of the war that I am going to send among them.”

¹⁷ So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand. I went to those nations. And I made them drink from the cup. ¹⁸ I poured this wine for the people of Jerusalem and the towns of Judah. I made the kings and officers of Judah drink from the cup. I did it so that they would become a ruin. People would be shocked when they saw how badly they were destroyed. People would insult them and speak evil of them. And it happened. Judah is like that now.
