“ Son of man, what is this proverb you people have about the land of Israel, which goes: The days keep passing by, and every vision fails?Therefore say to them: This is what the Lord God says: I will put a stop to this proverb, and they will not use it again in Israel. But say to them: The days draw near, as well as the fulfillment of every vision.For there will no longer be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.But I, Yahweh, will speak whatever message I will speak, and it will be done. It will no longer be delayed. For in your days, rebellious house, I will speak a message and bring it to pass.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.The word of the Lord came to me:“ Son of man, notice that the house of Israel is saying,‘ The vision that he sees concerns many years from now; he prophesies about distant times.’Therefore say to them: This is what the Lord God says: None of My words will be delayed any longer. The message I speak will be fulfilled.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and the work of their hands.’”This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me:“ Take this cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and make all the nations I am sending you to, drink from it.They will drink, stagger, and go out of their minds because of the sword I am sending among them.”So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, everyone the Lord sent me to.These included: Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah, its kings and its officials, to make them a desolate ruin, an object of scorn and cursing— as it is today;Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officers, his leaders, all his people,and all the mixed peoples; all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of the Philistines— Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands across the sea;Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who shave their temples;all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed peoples who have settled in the desert;all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media;all the kings of the north, both near and far from one another; that is, all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. Finally, the king of Sheshach will drink after them.“ Then you are to say to them: This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, as a result of the sword I am sending among you.If they refuse to take the cup from you and drink, you are to say to them: This is what the Lord of Hosts says: You must drink!For I am already bringing disaster on the city that bears My name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth”— this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.
