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.
30 As for you, prophesy against them all these words and say to them:The Lord roars from on high,from his holy dwelling he raises his voice;Mightily he roars over his sheepfold,a shout like that of vintagers echoesover all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 The uproar spreadsto the end of the earth;For the Lord has an indictment against the nations,he enters into judgment against all flesh:The wicked shall be given to the sword—oracle of the Lord.
