23. Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost [desert] fringes,
24. And kol melachim of Arabia, and kol melachim of the mixed multitude rabble that dwell in the desert,
25. And kol melachim of Zimri, and kol melachim of Eilam, and kol melachim of the Medes,
26. And kol melachim of the tzafon, far and near, one after another, and all the mamlechot ha'aretz, which are upon the face of adamah; and Melech Sheshach [Babylon] shall drink after them.
27. Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os Elohei Yisroel; Drink ye, and become shikkor, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the cherev which I will send among you.
28. And it shall be, if they refuse to take the Kos at thine yad to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os, Ye shall certainly drink.
29. For, hinei, I begin to bring ra'ah on the Ir which is called by My Shem, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a cherev upon all the inhabitants of ha'aretz, saith Hashem Tzva'os.
30. Therefore prophesy thou against them all these Devarim, and say unto them, Hashem shall roar from on high, and utter His voice from His Ma'on Kodesh; He shall mightily roar upon His Naveh (Dwelling); He shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of ha'aretz.
31. A noise shall come even to the ends of ha'aretz; for Hashem hath a legal controversy with the Goyim, He will plead His case with kol basar; He will give them that are wicked to the cherev, saith Hashem.
32. Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os, Hinei, ra'ah shall go forth from Goy to Goy, and a sa'ar gadol (great whirlwind) shall be raised up from the farthest ends of Eretz.
33. And the slain of Hashem shall be at that day from one end of ha'aretz even unto the other end of ha'aretz; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the adamah.
34. Wail, ye ro'im (shepherds), and weep; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye leaders of the tzon; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a precious pottery vessel.
35. And the ro'im (shepherds) shall have no refuge for fleeing, nor the leader of the tzon to escape.
36. A voice of the cry of the ro'im and a wailing of the leaders of the tzon, shall be heard: for Hashem hath destroyed their pasture.
37. And the ne'ot hashalom (peaceful folds) are laid waste because of the Charon Af Hashem.
38. He hath left His hiding place, as the lion; for their land is desolate because of the charon (anger) of the oppressor, and because of His charon af.
