Jeremiah 25:15–26

THE CUP OF GOD’S WRATH

¹⁵This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand and make all the nations to whom I am sending you drink from it.^{c 16}They will drink, stagger,^A and go out of their minds because of the sword I am sending among them.”^d

¹⁷So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink from it.

¹⁸Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah, its kings and its officials, to make them a desolate ruin, an example for scorn and cursing—as it is today;

¹⁹Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officers, his leaders, all his people,

²⁰and all the mixed peoples;

all the kings of the land of Uz;

all the kings of the land of the Philistines—Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

²¹Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;

²²all the kings of Tyre,

all the kings of Sidon,

and the kings of the coasts and islands;

²³Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who clip the hair on their temples;^Be

²⁴all the kings of Arabia,

and all the kings of the mixed peoples who have settled in the desert;

²⁵all the kings of Zimri,

all the kings of Elam,

and all the kings of Media;

²⁶all the kings of the north, both near and far from one another;

that is, all the kingdoms of the world throughout the earth.

Finally, the king of Sheshak^Cf will drink after them.
