2:16But you will become drunk44 with shame, not majesty.45
Now it is your turn to drink and expose your uncircumcised foreskin!46
The cup of wine in the Lord’s right hand47 is coming to you,
and disgrace will replace your majestic glory!
Footnotes
- 44 Heb “are filled.” The translation assumes the verbal form is a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of Babylon’s coming judgment, which will reduce the majestic empire to shame and humiliation.
- 45 Or “glory.”
- 46 Heb “drink, even you, and show the foreskin.” Instead of הֵעָרֵל (he’arel, “show the foreskin”) one of the Dead Sea scrolls has הֵרָעֵל (hera’el, “stumble”). This reading also has support from several ancient versions and is followed by the (“you too shall drink until you stagger”) and (“Drink, you yourself, and stagger”). For a defense of the Hebrew text, see P. D. Miller, Jr., Sin and Judgment in the Prophets, 63–64.
- 47 The Lord’s right hand represents his military power. He will force the Babylonians to experience the same humiliating defeat they inflicted on others.
