15. For The LORD, 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 will drink, and reel back and forth, and be insane, because of the sword that I will send among them."

17. Then took I the cup at The LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:

18. Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, with 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, with his servants, his princes, and all his people;

20. and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, all the kings of the Philistines, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

21. Edom, Moab, and the children of Ammon;

22. and all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of SIDON, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;

3. Then send them to the king of Edom, to the king of Moab, to the king of the children of Ammon, to the king of Tyre, and to the king of SIDON, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.

4. Give them a command to their masters, saying, 'The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, "You shall tell your masters:

5. 'I have made the earth, the men, and the animals that are on the surface of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm. I give it to whom it seems right to me.

6. Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. I have also given the animals of the field to him to serve him.

7. All the nations will serve him, his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their bondservant.

8. "'"'It will happen that I will punish the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,' says The LORD, 'with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

9. But as for you, don't listen to your prophets, to your diviners, to your dreams, to your soothsayers, or to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, "You shall not serve the king of Babylon;"

10. for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, so that I would drive you out, and you would perish.

11. But the nation that brings their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, that nation I will let remain in their own land,' says The LORD; 'and they will till it and dwell in it.'"'"

because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines,to cut off from Tyre and SIDON every helper who remains;for the LORD will destroy the Philistines,the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.

21. "Son of man, set your face toward SIDON, and prophesy against it,

22. and say, 'Thus says the Lord God:"Behold, I am against you, SIDON.I will be glorified among you.Then they will know that I am The LORD,when I have executed judgments in her,and am sanctified in her.

23. For I will send pestilence into her,and blood into her streets.The wounded will fall within her,with the sword on her on every side.Then they will know that I am The LORD.

"There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the SIDONians, who have gone down with the slain. They are put to shame in the terror which they caused by their might. They lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
