26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other. I made all the kingdoms on earth drink from the cup of the Lord’s anger. But the king of Babylon will drink from this cup after all the others.
27 “Then say this to them: ‘This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies, the God of Israel, says: Drink this cup of my anger. Get drunk from it and vomit. Fall down and don’t get up. Don’t get up because I am sending a war to kill you!’
28 “They will refuse to take the cup from your hand. They will refuse to drink it. Then say this to them: ‘The Lord of heaven’s armies says this: You must drink from this cup.
29 I am already bringing disaster on Jerusalem. And it is the city that is called by my name. And do you think you will not be punished? You will be punished! I am sending war on all the people of the earth, says the Lord of heaven’s armies.’
30 “You will prophesy against them with these words. Say to them:‘The Lord roars from heaven.He shouts from his Holy Temple.He roars against his land.He will shout like people who walk on grapes to make wine.He will shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The noise will spread all over the earth.This is because the Lord is punishing all the nations.He judges and tells what is wrong with all people.And he is killing the evil people with a sword,’” says the Lord.
32 This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says:“Disasters will soon spreadfrom nation to nation.They will come like a powerful stormto all the faraway places on earth.”
