14 Do not stand at the crossroads[a](A)
to cut off their fugitives,
and do not hand over their survivors
in the day of distress.

Judgment of the Nations

15 For the Day of the Lord(B) is near,
against all the nations.(C)
As you have done,(D) so it will be done to you;
what you deserve will return on your own head.(E)
16 As you have drunk on My holy mountain,(F)
so all the nations will drink continually.(G)
They will drink and gulp down
and be as though they had never been.
