(B)To root out and to tear down,
To destroy and to overthrow,
(C)To build and to plant.”

15 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to me: “Take this (A)cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and give it to all the nations to whom I send you, to drink from it. 16 Then they will (B)drink and loudly vomit and act insanely because of the sword that I am going to send among them.”

17 So I took the cup from the Lords hand and (C)gave it to all the nations to whom the Lord sent me, to drink from it: 18 To (D)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, and its kings and its officials, to make them places of ruins, objects of horror, [a]hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; 19 To (E)Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, and all his people; 20 and to all the (F)foreign [b]people, all the kings of the (G)land of Uz, all the kings of the land of the (H)Philistines (that is, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of (I)Ashdod); 21 To (J)Edom, (K)Moab, and the sons of (L)Ammon; 22 and to all the kings of (M)Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of (N)the coastlands which are beyond the sea; 23 and to (O)Dedan, Tema, (P)Buz, and all who (Q)trim the corners of their hair; 24 and to all the kings of (R)Arabia and all the kings of the (S)foreign [c]people who live in the desert; 25 and to all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of (T)Elam, and all the kings of (U)Media; 26 and to all the kings of the north, near and far, one with another; and (V)all the kingdoms of the earth which are on the face of the ground; and the king of [d](W)Sheshach shall drink it after them.
