25 Zimri, Elam, Media,
26 and the countries in the north, both near and far.I went to all the countries on earth, one after another, and finally to Babylonia.
27 The Lord had said I must tell each king, “The Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, commands you to drink from this cup that is full of the wine of his anger. It will make you so drunk that you will vomit. And when the Lord sends war against the nations, you will be completely defeated.”
28 The Lord told me that if any of them refused to drink from the cup, I must tell them that he had said, “I, the Lord All-Powerful, command you to drink.
29 Starting with my own city of Jerusalem, everyone on earth will suffer from war. So there is no way I will let you escape unharmed.”
30 The Lord told me to say:From my sacred templeI will roar like thunder,while I trample my peopleand everyone elseas though they were grapes.
31 My voice will be heardeverywhere on earth,accusing nations of their crimesand sentencing the guiltyto death.
