10 I will silence their shouts of joy and gladness and the happy sounds of wedding feasts. They will have no oil for their lamps, and there will be no more corn.
11 This whole land will be left in ruins and will be a shocking sight, and the neighbouring nations will serve the king of Babylonia for seventy years.
12 After that I will punish Babylonia and its king for their sin. I will destroy that country and leave it in ruins for ever.
13 I will punish Babylonia with all the disasters that I threatened to bring on the nations when I spoke through Jeremiah — all the disasters recorded in this book.
14 I will pay the Babylonians back for what they have done, and many nations and great kings will make slaves of them.’ ”
15 The Lord, the God of Israel, said to me, “Here is a wine cup filled with my anger. Take it to all the nations to whom I send you, and make them drink from it.
16 When they drink from it, they will stagger and go out of their minds because of the war I am sending against them.”
