27. Then the lord said to me, “Now tell them, ‘This is what the lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: Drink from this cup of my anger. Get drunk and vomit; fall to rise no more, for I am sending terrible wars against you.’
28. And if they refuse to accept the cup, tell them, ‘The lord of Heaven’s Armies says: You have no choice but to drink from it.
29. I have begun to punish Jerusalem, the city that bears my name. Now should I let you go unpunished? No, you will not escape disaster. I will call for war against all the nations of the earth. I, the lord of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!’
30. “Now prophesy all these things, and say to them,“‘The lord will roar against his own landfrom his holy dwelling in heaven.He will shout like those who tread grapes;he will shout against everyone on earth.
31. His cry of judgment will reach the ends of the earth,for the lord will bring his case against all the nations.He will judge all the people of the earth,slaughtering the wicked with the sword.I, the lord, have spoken!’”
32. This is what the lord of Heaven’s Armies says:“Look! Disaster will fall upon nation after nation!A great whirlwind of fury is risingfrom the most distant corners of the earth!”
33. In that day those the lord has slaughtered will fill the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn for them or gather up their bodies to bury them. They will be scattered on the ground like manure.
