Jeremiah 25:26-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
26 all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other; all the kingdoms upon the face of the earth and after them the king of Sheshach[a] shall drink.
27 Tell them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink! Get drunk and vomit! Fall, never to rise, before the sword that I will send among you!(A) 28 If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: You must drink!(B) 29 Now that I am inflicting evil on this city, called by my name, how can you possibly escape? You shall not escape! I am calling down the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth—oracle of the Lord of hosts.

Jeremiah 25:26-29
New International Version
26 and all the kings of the north,(A) near and far, one after the other—all the kingdoms(B) on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshak[a](C) will drink it too.
27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk(D) and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword(E) I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink(F), tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(G) on the city that bears my Name,(H) and will you indeed go unpunished?(I) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(J) on all(K) who live on the earth,(L) declares the Lord Almighty.’
