ESVEnglish Standard Version

For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.

As you have done, it shall be done to you;

your deeds shall return on your own head.

For as you have drunk on my holy mountain,

so all the nations shall drink continually;

they shall drink and swallow,

and shall be as though they had never been.

But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape,

and it shall be holy,

and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“The day of the Lord is near

for all nations.

As you have done, it will be done to you;

your deeds will return upon your own head.

Just as you drank on my holy hill,

so all the nations will drink continually;

they will drink and drink

and be as if they had never been.

But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;

it will be holy,

and Jacob will possess his inheritance.

NLTNew Living Translation

“The day is near when I, the Lord,

will judge all godless nations!

As you have done to Israel,

so it will be done to you.

All your evil deeds

will fall back on your own heads.

Just as you swallowed up my people

on my holy mountain,

so you and the surrounding nations

will swallow the punishment I pour out on you.

Yes, all you nations will drink and stagger

and disappear from history.

“But Jerusalem will become a refuge for those who escape;

it will be a holy place.

And the people of Israel will come back

to reclaim their inheritance.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“For the day of Yahweh is near against all the nations! Just as you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return on your own head. For just as you have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and they will slurp, and they will be as if they had never been. But on Mount Zion there will be an escape, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take possession of their dispossessors.

KJV 1900King James Version

For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen:

As thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee;

Thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain,

So shall all the heathen drink continually,

Yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down,

And they shall be as though they had not been.

But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness;

And the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
