14. Yes, many great nations and powerful kings will enslave them, and I will pay them back in full for what they have done and made with their hands.

16. They will drink and stagger about half-crazed because of the sword that I am sending against them.

17. So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, and I made all the nations drink from it where the Lord had sent me:

18. Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials. This was to make them a wasteland, an object of horror, shock, and cursing, as it is today;

19. Pharaoh, Egypt’s king, his attendants and officials, and all his people,

20. including the foreigners living there; all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of the Philistines—Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what’s left of Ashdod;

21. Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;

22. all the kings of Tyre and Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands across the sea;
