25 and to all the kings of Zimri and to all the kings of Elam and to all the kings of the Medes,
26 and to all the kings of the north wind, those of far and those of near, one with another and to all the kingdoms of the earth, which are upon the face of the earth and the king of Sheshach {Babylon} shall drink after them.
27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the Lord of the hosts, the God of Israel said; Drink and be drunken, and vomit and fall, and ye shall not rise in the presence of the sword which I send among you.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thine hand to drink, then thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath the Lord of the hosts said: Ye must certainly drink.
29 For, Behold, I begin to bring evil upon the city which is called by my name, and should ye only be absolved? Ye shall not be absolved, for I bring the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, said the Lord of the hosts.
30 Therefore, thou shalt prophesy against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from on high and from the habitation of his holiness he shall utter his voice; in fury he shall roar upon his habitation; he shall sing the song of those that tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 The noise came even to the ends of the earth; for it is judgment of the Lord with the Gentiles; he is the Judge of all flesh; he will give those that are wicked to the sword, said the Lord.
