14 But the land will be full of the knowledge of the Lord’s glory,
        just as water covers the sea.

15 Doom to the one who makes his companions drunk,
        pouring out your wrath in order to see them naked.[a]
16 You have drunk your fill of dishonor rather than glory.
        So drink and stagger.[b]
The cup of the Lord’s strong hand will come around to you;
        disgrace will engulf you.

    pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
    so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
16 You will be filled with shame(D) instead of glory.(E)
    Now it is your turn! Drink(F) and let your nakedness be exposed[a]!(G)

    and disgrace will cover your glory.
