And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”

Then took I the cup at the LORD’S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:

So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,

Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

“Then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Drink, get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, because of the sword I will send among you.’

And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

For behold, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears My Name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the LORD of Hosts.’
