15Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Take the cup of this unmixed wine from my hand, and you shall cause all the nations to drink, to whom I send you .
15For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says to me: “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.
16And they shall drink, and vomit, and be mad, because of the sword which I send among them.
16They will drink, and reel back and forth, and be insane, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17So I took the cup out of the Lord's hand, and caused the nations to whom the Lord sent me to drink:
17Then I took the cup at Yahweh’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Yahweh had sent me:
18Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings of Juda, and his princes, to make them a desert place, a desolation, and a hissing;
18Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, with its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is today;
19and Pharao king of Egypt, and his servants, and his nobles, and all his people;
19Pharaoh king of Egypt, with his servants, his princes, and all his people;
20and all the mingled [people], and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus,
20and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, all the kings of the Philistines, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21and Idumea, and the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon,
21Edom, Moab, and the children of Ammon;
22and the kings of Tyre, and the kings of Sidon, and the kings in the [country] beyond the sea,
22and all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
23and Daedan, and Thaeman, and Ros, and every one that is shaved round about the face,
23Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;
24and all the mingled [people] lodging in the wilderness,
24and all the kings of Arabia, all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness;
25and all the kings of Aelam, and all the kings of the Persians,
25and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26and all the kings from the north, the far and the near, each one with his brother, and all the kingdoms which are on the face of the earth.
26and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth. The king of Sheshach will drink after them.
27And you shall say to them, Thus said the Lord Almighty; Drink you⌃, be you⌃ drunken; and you⌃ shall vomit, and shall fall, and shall in nowise rise , because of the sword which I send among you.
27“You shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.”’
28And it shall come to pass, when they refuse to take the cup out of your hand, to drink it, that you shall say, Thus said the Lord; You⌃ shall surely drink.
28It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “You shall surely drink.
29ForI am beginning to afflict the city whereon my name is called, and you⌃ shall by no means be held guiltless: for I am calling a sword upon all that dwell upon the earth.
29For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You will not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Yahweh of Armies.”’
30And you shall prophesy against them these words, and shall say, The Lord shall speak from on high, from his sanctuary he will utter his voice; he will pronounce a declaration on his place; and these shall answer like men gathering grapes: and destruction is coming on them that dwell on the earth,
30“Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and tell them, “‘Yahweh will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He will mightily roar against his fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31[even] upon [the extreme] part of the earth; for the Lord [has] a controversy with the nations, he is pleading with all flesh, and the ungodly are given to the sword,says the Lord.
31A noise will come even to the end of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh. As for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,”’ says Yahweh.”
32Thus said the Lord; Behold, evils are proceeding from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind goes forth from the end of the earth.
32Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, evil will go out from nation to nation, and a great storm will be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.”
33And the slain of the Lord shall be in the day of the Lord from [one] end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the earth.
33The slain of Yahweh will be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They won’t be lamented. They won’t be gathered or buried. They will be dung on the surface of the ground.
34Howl, you⌃ shepherds, and cry; and lament, you⌃ rams of the flock: for your days have been completed for slaughter , and you⌃ shall fall as the choice rams.
34Wail, you shepherds, and cry. Wallow in dust, you leader of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions have fully come, and you will fall like fine pottery.
35And flight shall perish from the shepherds, and safety from the rams of the flock .
35The shepherds will have no way to flee. The leader of the flock will have no escape.
36A voice of the crying of the shepherds, and a moaning of the sheep and the rams: for the Lord has destroyed their pastures.
36A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leader of the flock, for Yahweh destroys their pasture.
37And the peaceful abodes that remain shall be destroyed before the fierceness of my anger .
37The peaceful folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Yahweh.
38He has forsaken his lair, as a lion: for their land is become desolate before the great sword.
38He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression, and because of his fierce anger.
