25. all of the kings of Zimri, Elam and Media

26. all of the kings in the north, near and far So he sent me to all of the kingdoms on the face of the earth, one after the other. After all of them drink from the cup of the Lord's anger, the king of Babylonia will drink from it too.

27. The Lord says, "Tell them, 'The Lord who rules over all is the God of Israel. He says, "Drink from this cup. Get drunk and throw up. Fall down and do not get up again. I am going to send war against you." '

28. "But they might refuse to take the cup from your hand. They might not want to drink from it. Then tell them, 'The Lord who rules over all says, "You have to drink from it!

29. I am beginning to bring trouble on the city where I have put my Name. You might think you will not be punished. But you will certainly be punished. I am sending war against everyone who lives on earth," announces the Lord who rules over all.'
