15 For thus says the Lord God of Israel to me: “Take this awine cup of fury from My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.
16 And athey will drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Then I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, and made all the nations drink, to whom the Lord had sent me:

20 all the mixed multitude, all the kings of athe land of Uz, all the kings of the land of the bPhilistines (namely, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and cthe remnant of Ashdod);
21 aEdom, Moab, and the people of Ammon;
22 all the kings of aTyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands which are across the bsea;
23 aDedan, Tema, Buz, and all who are in the farthest corners;
24 all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the amixed multitude who dwell in the desert;
25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of aElam, and all the kings of the bMedes;
