23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],
24 And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,
25 And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,
26 And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off, one unto another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And king Sheshach drinketh after them.
27 And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts God of Israel, Drink ye, yea drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and rise not, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.
28 And it hath come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of thy hand to drink, That thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do certainly drink.
29 For lo, in the city over which My name is called, I am beginning to do evil, And ye--ye are entirely acquitted! Ye are not acquitted, for a sword I am proclaiming, For all inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
