15. This is what the Lord, God of Israel, said to me: Take this seething cup of wine from my hand and make all the nations gulp it down where I’m sending you.
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;
23. Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who cut the hair of their foreheads;
