23 Dedan and Tema and Buz, all the desert dwellers who shave their temples;
24 all the kings of Arabia;
25 all the kings of Zimri, of Elam, of the Medes;
26 all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other; all the kingdoms upon the face of the earth and after them the king of Sheshach shall drink.
27 Tell them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink! Get drunk and vomit! Fall, never to rise, before the sword that I will send among you!
28 If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: You must drink!
29 Now that I am inflicting evil on this city, called by my name, how can you possibly escape? You shall not escape! I am calling down the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth—oracle of the Lord of hosts.
