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.
32 Thus saith the Lord of the hosts, Behold, the evil goes forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
33 And the slain of the Lord shall be in that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be as dung upon the ground.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the dust, ye principals of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like an enticing vessel.
