21. Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
22. and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands which are beyond the sea;
23. Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;
24. and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the foreign people who dwell in the desert;
25. and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26. and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the earth, and the king of Sheshak shall drink after them.
27. Therefore you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Drink and be drunk and spew and fall and rise no more because of the sword which I will send among you.
28. It will be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you will say to them: Thus says the Lord of Hosts: You shall certainly drink!
29. For I am starting to bring calamity on the city which is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished. For I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of Hosts.
30. Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them: The Lord will roar from on high,and utter His voice from His holy habitation;He will mightily roar against His fold.He will give a shout, as those who tread the grapes,against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31. A noise shall come even to the remote parts of the earth,for the Lord has a controversy with the nations;He shall enter into judgment with all flesh.He shall give those who are wicked to the sword,says the Lord.
32. Thus says the Lord of Hosts: See, disaster shall go forthfrom nation to nation,and a great whirlwind shall be raised upfrom the remote parts of the earth.
33. The slain of the Lord on that day will be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They will not be lamented or gathered or buried. They will be as dung on the ground.
34. Howl, you shepherds, and cry;and wallow in the ashes, you leaders of the flock.For the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished;and you will fall like a choice vessel.
35. The shepherds will have no way to flee,nor the leaders of the flock to escape.
36. A voice of the cry of the shepherdsand a howling of the leaders of the flock shall be heard,for the Lord has devastated their pasture.
37. The peaceable habitations are cut downbecause of the fierce anger of the Lord.
