Jeremiah 25:12-26

“But when the seventy years have passed, I will punish the king of Babylon and his entire nation for their evil,” says the LORD. “I will make that land a desert forever. I will make happen all the terrible things I said about Babylonia—everything Jeremiah prophesied about all those foreign nations, the warnings written in this book. Even the Babylonians will have to serve many nations and many great kings. I will give them the punishment they deserve for all their own hands have done.” The LORD, the God of Israel, said this to me: “My anger is like the wine in a cup. Take it from my hand and make all the nations, to whom I am sending you, drink all of my anger from this cup. They will drink my anger and stumble about and act like madmen because of the war I am going to send among them.” So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and went to those nations and made them drink from it. I served this wine to the people of Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, and the kings and officers of Judah, so they would become a ruin. Then people would be shocked and would insult them and speak evil of them. And so it has been to this day. I also made these people drink of the LORD’s anger: the king of Egypt, his servants, his officers, all his people, and all the foreigners there; all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines (the kings of the cities of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod); the people of Edom, Moab, and Ammon; all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; all the kings of the coastal countries to the west; the people of Dedan and Tema and Buz; all who cut their hair short; all the kings of Arabia; and the kings of the people who live in the desert; all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media; and all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other. I made all the kingdoms on earth drink from the cup of the LORD’s anger, but the king of Babylon will drink from this cup after all the others.
