11. This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12. “It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation,” says Yahweh, “for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.
13. I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14. For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.”
15. For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says to me: “take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.
16. They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17. Then took I the cup at Yahweh’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Yahweh had sent me:
18. Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is today;
19. Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
20. and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
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 isle which is beyond the sea;
23. Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;
24. and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness;
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 world, which are on the surface of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
27. “You shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.”’
28. It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “You shall surely drink.
