15 “Woe to him who makes his neighbor drink;
[a]To you who mix in your venom even to make your neighbors drunk,
So as to look at their genitalia!
16 You will be filled with disgrace rather than honor.
(A)Drink, you yourself, and [b]expose your own foreskin!
The (B)cup in the Lords right hand will come around to you,
And (C)utter disgrace will come upon your glory.
