They kill people to build their city and do wicked things to make their walled city strong. ¹³But the Lord All-Powerful has decided that a fire will destroy everything that those people worked to build. All their work will be for nothing. ¹⁴Then people everywhere will know about the Glory of the Lord.

Like an angry drunk, they knock others to the ground and strip them naked, just to see their naked bodies. ¹⁶“But they will know the Lord’s anger. It will be like a cup of poison in the Lord’S right hand. They will taste that anger, and then they will fall to the ground like drunks. “Evil ruler, you will drink from that cup. You will get shame, not honor.
